ECB would do well to keep rates on hold.

ECB would do well to keep rates on hold. For now.
After yesterdays belated market focus on the underlying problems in managing a single strategy for the whole eurozone, it put into sharp focus the policy options facing the ECB. The west has had a ferocious and deadly enemy for the last 40 years, and it was called inflation. All the ammunition and strategy has been directed towards killing this enemy, and the threat has – for the while – gone away. While this battle has been raging however, a new…

Perfect day for the European boggyman to drag out an

Perfect day for the European boggyman to drag out an ECB corpse
Nobody loves a fright in the economy more than Ambrose Evans-Pritchard at The Telegraph and for Halloween he got a genuine scare from the Eurozone inflation data.
The region is dangerously close to a Japan-style deflation trap, he said.
He tracked down a mystery ‘former ECB governor’ for his take:
A former ECB governor said the bank’s passive stance over the past few months was a “disaster” for Italy and Spain. The time-lag effects …

Ok. Thanks. What should I do with this prize now? Is it money I can only trade? Or can I get it in cash?

You can withdraw it as soon as the minimum turnover condition is complete (we want you to try our platform frist, maybe you'll like it ) .

Ok. Thank you. I would like to withdraw it. What are the minimum turnover conditions? Thank you.

Funds can be withdrawn from the accounts after the minimum turnover is reached. The required turnover constitutes $500,000 for each $100 won.

In other words - some 15 trades with high leverage. Your account manager will give you all the details. He should contact you next week.

Dollar up to 98.50 as sterling and euro lose

annatimone Posted 30 Ott  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #JPY #USD #Dollar #Euro #Yen #Inflation #Fed #Sterling
Dollar yen got a bit nervy in the seconds leading up to the release, falling to 98.06 but then found it’s stride and has pooped up to 98.50, The euro popped to 1.3785 then dropped to 1.3728. Cable has fallen to 1.6025 but has held ahead of support at 1.6020.
Having done a quick text comparison from last months meeting there’s nothing of note between the texts so it’s business as usual. Nothing on the shutdown or Washington shenanigans and I think they may use this card at a later stage like next…

What to do with the FOMC announcement

annatimone Posted 30 Ott  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #GBP #JPY #USD #Euro #Market #Fomc #Fed #Eud
We have the usual hyped-up stand-off ahead of the actual announcement. Stop me if you’ve heard this before but I will be waiting to see what actually happens rather than get involved in a crap shoot prior ( and I choose my sporting reference carefully!)
The minutes from the last meeting showed the decision not to taper was a close call but the relevance of this stance has since been reduced/dismissed given the partial US govt shut-down and the less than accurate data releases since then.
So to t…

  • To cut the level of debt to GDP to below 60% (currently around 80%) within 10 years
  • Did not mention plans to pay back Germany’s just over 2 trillion euro debt

Why Germans Are So Rude?

annatimone Posted 18 Ott  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Euro #Economy #Eurozone #Germany #Eud #People #Rude

According to the stereotypes, Germans are first to grab the sunbeds, incapable of cracking a smile and rarely say "thank you".
In an attempt to dispel these myths and to fight back, Germany has launched a series of videos explaining where the misconceptions arise from and how to do business in the country.
Germany is the euro zone's largest economy and the world's second biggest exporter, making it an attractive and important country with which to do business.

Future volatility trends in major currency pairs.

annatimone Posted 15 Ott  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #JPY #USD #UK #Dollar #Euro #Yen #Currency #Cable #Eud
One of the fascinations for market watchers, is looking at a price ahead of an `important` piece of news, and the subsequent price action following publication, that is, how much of the real number is already `in the price`. The anticipation of certain statistics is one thing, but on a more macro level, there are times when certain assumptions gradually creep into market thinking, and it is always useful to review these.
Cable has been one of the best performers on the world currency stage recen…
