We STILL continue to trade and live in very strange times. All change through the revolving door at 10, Downing Street, the markets, for now, seem happy enough that Rishi Sunak is going to “Bend the Knee”. I never thought, I would ever witness two back-to-back 0.75% rate hikes from the ECB, but that happened […]

We continue to trade and live in very strange times. What a traumatic week in the UK. Truss resigns and Boris Johnson packs up his speedos to head back to the UK to take part in the next Tory Party leadership election. You could NOT make this stuff up. My soapbox this week looks at […]

We trade and live in very strange times. The LIZ TRUSS project in the UK took another series of sharp turns last week. In addition, Andrew Baily, Governor of the Bank of England basically threw his arms in the air mid-week to the markets by essentially saying from Washington on a trip stateside “Feck you […]

Here we are once again at the end of another week. Looking back, despite all the airtime on CNBC, FOX BUSINESS and BLOOMBERG devoted to “FED PIVOTS” and the like, since the Jerome Powell speech in Jackson Hole in late August nothing from the FED has changed. That short speech from Powell is largely ignored […]

For those you wanted volatility in the FX market, I suppose it would be safe to say that all your Christmas wishes have come all at once. From a “Position” traders’ perspective, patience with global positions in the market really paid off as markets had to eventually turn and so… we reap the benefits and […]

Wow…. last Friday was some day in the FX market, especially for the GBP related pairs 2% – 3% downside moves, even the EUR/GBP more often than not limited with its daily pip moves managed over a 1.8% move on the day. I made a few pips but to say I left a lot of […]

Yet another big week for Central Banks. I am posing the question in the “SOAPBOX” in this week’s DRIVE THRU ZOOM, “Are Central Banks overrun by events or is it much simpler than that, are Central Banks just overcome by reality?” It is looking increasingly difficult for many of the major Central Banks to keep […]

At long last the ECB has joined to party and now has positive interest rates. My SOAPBOX title came I think, from a movie, that I watched a while ago. It caught my attention and really does fit the bill as a title. The bureaucracy of Brussels is such that it operates in a bubble. […]

Back from vacation, although my six weeks away was only really about two weeks as all the markets activities had me drawn to my screens, and if not my screens to financial TV. This week, my ZOOM presentation is a little longer than usual. I take my time going through my macro thoughts and fundamental […]

WELCOME: I promised at the start of July during the last WEEKLY FX DRIVE THRU (ZOOM) that I would provide a brief blog to review the July 2022 performance of THE WEEKLY FX PREMIUM subscription service performance. What I am posting here, is basically the TwitLonger review that I posted a few days ago for […]

This brief note is to inform that I am currently on a summer break until returning on September 4th 2022. I will provide a very brief analysis of the July performance of the WEEKLY FX PREMIUM at the beginning of August, but, apart from this the FREE NEWSLETTER will not return until September. Enjoy your […]

A SUMMER OF DISCONTENT AHEAD THE ECONOMICS OF A MADMAN… OR WOMAN! I am really looking forward to my summer break this year, although I expect that I will be looking at my iPad / iPhone a great deal more than previous years. After this weekend, the next date for a full DRIVE THRU will […]

The chopfest continues. This week I am taking a look from my perspective at what matters to this FED. We are about to enter what are usually quieter months for trading in the FX market. I wrote last week regarding my thoughts about how I believe this year will be different. We saw an explosive […]
