Essentially based on old data refecting the worst of the winter months. Would expect this to settle down fairly quickly
Wrong interpretation from the market, FOMC send statement like usually, no change , long USD very stable
Dollar will crash.. GBP and EUR bulls will take the lead.
Initial counter reaction by the dealers. Most economic indicators are trending positively. Tapering to continue. Economy is in recovery mode. USD positive. Sell into the rally.
ECB calling exchange rate as too high. Target EURUSD: 1.3500.
Target AUDUSD: 0.9000

Why don't I see anything new? And they have just admitted that QE have failed to achieve any results. None of FED target hit with QE4ever. So will they continue the failing course?
Audusd will hit 0.9500.See your weekly chart.

USD will rise again, think about it.. nothing has changed- Fed are still on course and they will keep tapering, everything is looking rather cheap again

Fed steps away from rate talk, puts petal on accommodation simply because the S&P is down 50 pts from highs.

The market is driving the Fed, Yellen's axle is about to fall off and the market is heading into a brick wall.

People are friggin worried about HFTs? Hell, maybe they should be worried about central feckin bankers.
When the facts change I change my mind, what do you do sir

I believe the market overreacted today, there's no way the u.s gov't can keep buying back the bonds. at most the feds will delay the next taper by another month or two.

Words....words...to keep stock market high until tapering is done.

Anyway it looks like we will have rate hike in 2015...early or late.

EUR/USD will go down not because of this but because Draghi doesn't want exchange rate above 1.40
I think the wording is nice. USD has been weaken too much, and it will gain strength in the future.
I'm still remain Strong BULLISH on eurusd targetting to 1.4200.

I have been saying since 2009 that the Fed is far more interested in US equities climbing than their repeatedly quoted hoax statements of increasing employment. The baby boomers retirement plans are paramount compared to US unemployment, which is minimal compared to most other countries.

I am "Benjamin the Donkey", the guy that no-one believes.

"WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Federal Reserve officials had a secret video conference call in early March and reached a general consensus that the 6.5% unemployment rate threshold for the first rate hike was outdated, the central bank said Wednesday.

... "The central bankers were clearly worried that changing the forward guidance would impact markets."

I know that nobody believes me, but I believe myself.

Really, It is a failure !! Because instead of fall in unemployment housing market is still a concern and there is no too rapid improvement in any of the data, and they have only very few options left just to delay the interest rate hike and watch data to improve, not good for equity market

Laugh, and the world laughs with you.
Chance favors the prepared
eur-usd move to 1.3872, then fall to 1.3770
and move up again
Qe no longer works as planned, its just making rich folk richer and the 99% poor

Zero (read negative) rates are removing productivity from the planet (why work when, if you have a house it earns more than you tax free, if you don't you'll get taxed to death, just to save money in an account earning Less than nothing ?

Yellen et al are very bright, high iq's etc...... America (unlike UK and Europe) have done a pretty much textbook deleveraging, house values allowed to fall, Bank debts transferred to the public etc......via Government bailouts

I think Fed is committed to cutting stimulus , as Churchill said (US does the right thing, usually to late, but they do the right thing)

Anyone loaded up on debt since crisis is in for a nasty shock if they think rates can stay lows much longer. It is politically unacceptable in the US to continue with QE, Zirp policies

So, with a bit of wobble, I reckon Dollar goes up from here.

UK, Europe et al are gonna have to eat it..... anyone else think Draghi's been looking a bit peaky recently..... he knows what rising rates mean for Europe, they go up in US they go up everywhere and Spain, Italy etc will, have to eat it

US needs to lead now, it is the reserve currency and if it is to have any hope it needs the armour of higher rates and a cessation of QE, like....now

Happy trading
LOL
Ringkon : I think you're a big loser trader.You're not a player.

It is crucial that the stock market remains at least level. The US cannot afford the social support bills that will follow from any uncertainty here.

I believe you are right. Here, have a carrot....
