UK / Boris / Brexit

The Fed cut rates in response to Draghi starting a currency war. Had nothing to do with Trump. Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank said as much.

Phase One only requires the big Cheetos signature.

The Fed has a hell of a lot more room to lower than the ECB... The EU is where the next apocalypse starts.

Actually, large disparities in interest rates between trading partners is very much a disadvantage. Again - Draghi started this war by going really negative in order severely lower the Euro versus the Dollar; and it's worked. So yeah, Draghi started a currency war by radically lowering rates...

If it's that simple - just trade along with the orange man... it seems to be working for those who are less anxious than you appear to be.

Draghi and the ECB finally forced the Fed's hand - Trump had nothing to do with it. And Trump is hardly the first President to rail against the Fed's interest rate policies. Far from it.

What is missing from this 'toxic concoction' are shit pile OTC derivatives and subprime MBS and CDO's - at least in Countries with stress tested banking systems. It's worthwhile to note that in the US, the regulator independently runs the stress tests - while in Europe, the regulator relies...

If one of my own clients told me that he was quitting his job to start trading his stake of $15K I would definitely try my hardest to talk him out of it - unless he also had 18 months of living expense money set off to the side. And that includes health care premiums, rent, software, Internet...

In reality it never works out like that, and if you’re taking money out of your account for living expenses it really really won’t work out like that. I wish you good fortune!

LOL he posted the most boring spread in Corn he could find on some worthless free charting program

I am personally not aware of a legitimate, exchange registered US proprietary futures trading firm that would accept client funds for “training” purposes. Hint: Search the NFA database - it’s interesting.

LOL put up some crude oil or natural gas butterflies (the actual exchange spread trading range - not the synthetic closing price) if you can manage it with that top shelf charting program of yours.
