i concur sticky .... the markets really are very difficult to read at the moment ..... one would have expected ftse to take a big hit this morning after dow continued sharply south after london close ...... seemingly not so, or at least not at the open
only modest ASC and a small ftse .... confess i should have just sat on my hands having taken my profit the other day instead of being a smartarse, and now having a well-deserved smarting arse!
my gut feeling (wishful thinking?) is that the gloom about today's us numbers is overdone (see fear+greed) ...... target figure is now +150,000 down from +195,000
Gloom about todays figures!!!! most analysts I have been reading on the US sites are very upbeat towards the expectations of the non farm payrolls.
Ill be glad if someone from the FED just comes out and says QE is not in the near future going to be tapered.
The problem being the US is further up the cyclical ladder of recovery than Europe and Asia which could lead to interest rates increasing and the equilibrium of world market balance being put in a spin.
