UsdMexicanPeso is a screaming buy due to uncertainty with Mexico’s 1st female President voted in the other day. Not to mention an historic 37 candidates have been assassinated. Perhaps we can factor in, as one official pointed out, “she is also a mother and used to dealing with tantrums and meltdowns.” Nice outlook.
It is a new quarter. There has been a bit of disconnect between yields and Dxy of late in some sessions, and quite a bit of adjusting convictions in everything including commodities. Some pivotal areas at question. My stake is back to the dollar overall until proven otherwise albeit facing rate cut expectations.
re yen 155 market trying to figure out
there is nothing to figure. mof / boj happi slapping backs and high-fiving:
–
The Japan Times
Japan spent record ¥9.8 trillion to prop up yen in past month
The record spending on intervention shows the government’s resolve to push back against speculators betting against the yen.
So far Bobby’s EURUSD 1.0860 level is holding (low 1.0858)
Note EURUSD was trading around 1.0845 yesterday just prior to the weaker ISM PMI report so a level that bulls do noit want to see trqde although chart supports are below that level.
Well I came in yesterday saying I am a Dollar bull for the week overall and caught some heat for it in the background due to initial selling but here we are thankfully. I am short Cable and Germany vs Dollar, long UsdSgd (Singapore), and not yet long Dollar vs Franc due to rate decision proximity. Canadian Dollar pending (rate). I think rates are consistent in Australia for a while and due to event risk and the gold effect am hesitant to be on the offer with that and am more focused on seeing selling begin to abate.
