Anyone got any views? are all the Fx traders on holiday?

edit - when did CMC reduce their cable spread to 3 points? pleasant surprise!!

hilary - 02 Sep 2004 14:46 - 1882 of 11056

Got back from the South of France in the early hours, Sue. Can't get motivated atm. It'll still be here next week, so I'll maybe turn the screens back on then.

hodgins - 03 Sep 2004 09:07 - 1883 of 11056

Tiny pound short in anticipation of strong US employment data, can always add more if things head that way after lunch (or close not too painfully).

hilary - 03 Sep 2004 10:01 - 1884 of 11056

I'm sorry, hodgins, but I'm going to offer a contrarian view.

Cable seems to have been supported at 1.7850 over recent days. It has failed to push significantly lower and is now looking well oversold on my oscillators. I suspect that bear stops are currently located at around 1.7950 and, if we can push through that level, we could see a squeeze and a subsequent up-leg over the next few days. I wouldn't be surprised if weak employment data doesn't turn out to be the catalyst this lunchtime.

hodgins - 03 Sep 2004 13:57 - 1885 of 11056

Out for some with trailing stop knocked.
The long side may yet have its moment as much below 785 might open up territory not seen for a while

hilary - 03 Sep 2004 14:46 - 1886 of 11056

Nice one, hodgins. I'm sitting with my long for a bit longer. ISM at 3 ......... let's see what that brings.

MightyMicro - 03 Sep 2004 15:08 - 1887 of 11056

Hi, Hil, welcome back.

Glad your oscillators are functioning but Cable doesn't seem to be behaving accordingly.

D.

hilary - 03 Sep 2004 15:22 - 1888 of 11056

Hello Derek,

I know ..... sad when the oscillators don't work, isn't it? ISM below forecasts too? What's a girl to do?

The trouble is, too many players see Cable as being a longer term carry trade sell now and are quick to offload into any rally. Their argument is very simplistic in that US interest rates have got further to rise percentage wise from 1.5% than UK rates have from 4.75%. Fundamentally, I disagree but technically the chart says that the 1.90 high is quite probably in place.
