Hil,

Ive started using the charts on www.netdania.com. I use both.

This sign sums up nicely what the Euro has been doing to the Dollar recently

SoS
I see you've been scouring the net for naughty photos again - nice one ;)

Tellon
Thanks for the netdania link.

T,

I think that it's the S&P Comstock feed which has been playing up on the Intellicharts. I've found the NetDania feed to either be a bit inaccurate or to lag a bit in the past.

Doris,

Which page of the Kama Sutra did you find that position?

:o)

What the BoE has to weigh up
Mon Dec 6, 2004 09:07 AM GMT


By Sumeet Desai
LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England appears almost certain to leave interest rates steady for the fourth month in a row on Thursday but economists are divided over whether borrowing costs will climb again next year.

All 45 analysts polled by Reuters predicted the central bank's Monetary Policy Committee would leave rates pegged at 4.75 percent when it finishes its two-day meeting.

Twenty economists said rates had peaked but 23 said there was at least one more hike to come.

The following are likely to be some of the main factors discussed by the MPC at its December 8 and 9 meeting.

INFLATION

The main inflation rate rose to 1.2 percent in October, still way below the BoE's 2.0 percent target. But the Bank sees it rising to target in two years' time. Meanwhile, pipeline inflationary pressures have been rising, thanks to high energy costs.

HOUSE PRICES

The Nationwide house price index unexpectedly rose by 1.0 percent in November, but analysts say the increase may be a blip as most other indicators point to a continued rapid slowing in the market. The Halifax house price index fell by 0.4 percent in November while mortgage approvals fell to a five-year low in October.

GDP

The initial estimate of 0.4 percent growth in the third quarter was left unrevised but BoE policymakers have repeatedly suggested they feel that is too low as it at odds with more bullish survey evidence. Growth is expected to have picked up in the fourth quarter.

STERLING

Sterling's trade-weighted index has risen over the past month and the pound hit a 12-year high against the dollar last week, boosting concern that manufacturing will be hit as exports become less competitive.

GLOBAL ECONOMY

Latest data show the world economy is still having some troubles. U.S. non-farm payrolls grew a paltry 112,000 in November and recent reports on the eurozone point to faltering growth there as the euro hits record highs against the dollar.

Bullshare, if that billboard is anything like the real thing, once the euro has climaxed, it will go to sleep and the dollar will awaken and go and put the kettle on !!!!

Addo

When you see charts increase so fast like that, that to me is the sign of a huge reversal

:-)Long dollar then?

5 years and close your eyes, yes :-) Otherwise no, it has to break $2 to the squid right ??

My day trading skills are legendary, however I don't think the world can sustain this slide. It is a conspiracy this activity :-))

Most Americans are not even aware the euro exists, some not even Europe exists !!

Glad I got stopped out this morning.. Weould have been boring watching my postion all day.. Should have took that long USD/CHF I saw though +70 right now on paper.. But then paper is not neccesarily a good example of what would have been..

See you all tomorrow..

P.S

Nice Picture BullShare

Wow.. Looks like someone flicked the dollar selling machine on early..

Looks like it will be a Short Dollar day.. With new highs on the euro and sterling. Just a matter of when to go long..

Tellon
Yep - bit of a bugger 'cos I had a short in the money overnight - stopped out just after 06:30. I must stop trying to fight the inevitable $2 to the 1.

been long cable since 0751, starting to get a bit nervous with central bankers trying to solicit support for dollar. As this is unlikely to come from US, central banks may try intervention soon!

Well I'm long cable, but I've not had charts (Netdania & FXtrek) since 9:11am (How spooky is that?). I've got a stop in place, so I'll just let it run and see what happens if or when I get some charts back.

www.netdania.com is ok.. Try the charts there.

I have to go out for a few hours so will just let it run, hopefully it will still be alive when I get back. I only use charts from cmc, etrade etc. and have not noticed any probs.

Thanks T,

I'd been trying the Netdania feed in the FXtrek applet. I'm up and running now.

Do you need to open a new window each time that you want a different instrument, or is there a way of opening multiple views and instruments from the one "master" window?
