  • Trump lays into the Federal Reserve, says he's 'not thrilled' about interest rate hikes

    From cnbc.com

    In a stinging and historically rare criticism, President Donald Trump expressed frustration with the Federal Reserve and said the central bank could disrupt the economic recovery. Presidents rarely intercede when it comes to the Fed, which sets the benchmark interest rate that flows through to many types of consumer debt. Fed officials, including Chairman Jerome Powell, have raised interest rates twice this year and have pointed to two more before the end of 2018. Trump, in an interview with CNBC, said he does not approve, even though he said he "put a very good man in" at the Fed in Powell. “I’m not ... (full story)

Thanks, Trump! I was a little overextended with my USD trades. Ha ha!
I see he's still trying to bury his attempt to join the "Axis of Evil"...

Trump is correct. Strong dollar is stressing global economies and can derail US economy.
Feds need to cool off they are too hyped up. I liked Yellen she was too cautious and always stated "what data shows" Present Fed are way too aggressive by stating their intentions while USD is killing off everything in sight.That's just irresponsible that's like throwing a grenade and not caring about the consequence.
I hope Feds take a break from their hike mode

What Trump giveth with policies, he takes away with tweets. However, I expect the immediate reaction against the dollar to wane and possibly give us some additional entries in dollar pairs. Frankly, I don't see how the tweets against the Fed will have any lasting effect since he can't control the Fed anymore than he can control his impulsive compulsive tweets.

Yes is it possible. The point is: Today the market is " Right Predicted"

As a trader under Obama we had more regulations then ever before.Not gonna get into irresponsible manner of bailing out corporations and CEO's giving each other bonuses from bail out money.Obama added more trillions to our national debt then any other president before.
Killed more innocent people by his drones and attacked Libya without real reason and made a huge mess in that country which became fertile ground for terrorists.List goes on and on.
Please don't sell Obama

The truth was that I was actually expecting his comments, USD has been on a lonely travel for a long time in a competitive world, where everyone is keeping a keen watch on everything
Tbh I dont see how this USD weakness will last. The fed is meant to be independent...
Im quite confident that its more due to algo triggers or panick selling... May reverse and continue on course soon.
I look for value wherever it can be found
well said trump, now waiting for reverse word

I am a new trader. Don't understand the fuss about his tweet. Neither the economic data nor the interest rate will change so should we not still be at 1.5800 Eur/Usd or at least we will be back there tomorrow.

Why is that unpredictable?

USA deficit is too large because China won't open their markets AND they manipulate their currency.

We slap them with tariff's to open their markets....trade deficit is shrinking....then FED raises rates (while China lower's its currency). Of course Trump is pissed....not unpredictable but PREDICTABLE.
...because you never know - until you do!
If you understand Trump's business knowledge...he is a businessman and not a politician...then you can predict his moves. USA is his business now.

Don't you think there is a reason the FED raises rates ? Maybe you and Trump should get some schooling about how the economy and the business cycle work.
This is the way it should be a, successful business person running a country.
I remember when Bernanke raised USD rates every quarter and quickly crashed the economy.

{quote} Which is exactly what he should have done, do you think recessions are a consequence of failure of central banks !?
Yes, in part. Raising interest rates too quickly without giving the economy time to adjust hurts business loans. Businesses can afford to borrow less, so growth slows. Layoffs are inevitable. People lose jobs, lose homes and can't buy high ticket items, like cars, TVs, new houses....So not just the US economy, but the global economy is hurt.

Time to make money!, extend the fx patterns with: bla bla tweet = a significant market movement is triggered by a tweet and it retrace at least 50%.
Then we could define:

Last, create an EA using this pattern, buy one way ticket to wished retirement place.

What? Draghi is not tweeting? ohhh!

Barkie, anything dealing with business that comes from YOU is funny!

The FED is tasked with keeping inflation at or under 2% - THAT IS THE FED'S MANDATE.

The US economy is really doing well and inflation is beginning to rise, that is why the FED wants to raise rates, which slows down the US economy.

Trump wants the US economy to grow at a 4% GDP, which will happen, unless interest rates rise to cool it off.

Which forex pair?
I was ready to cash in the sudden $ 2 Move upward in OIL this morning. But the CME suddenly raised the margins for the second time this week. I was $ 5 short in my account and blocked from getting in. CME told me that they can raise margins at any time, with just 24 hours notice. Thanks a lot!
When since interest rate adjustment is down to how "thrilled" a POTUS is

Bear in mind that when this POTUS says thrilled he really means thrill.....
Remember the FEDs leading indicator is 3 month treasuries. Yesterday 3 month t-bills touched a 10 year high.

It's based on technical analyses. Bollinger Upper and Lower Bands are far away. It would be difficult for the bears to take full control at this time. There was also Fibonacci ( Fibo 61.8% )/ resistance breakout.

Actually I was trading the dax, all my analysis pointed to the start of a down trend with a reversal on the 27th 28th of this month. Overnight the Dax fell hard 80 points or so, it was super simple to see the level as clear as the nose on your face.

When it came back I had a sell order waiting for it, now here is the questions for you all, was it the order block, or did the orange gorilla that caused the fall.

I assume the DOW will also copy the move that the DAX made with a pull up to 25120.5 then a hard reaction down. If my analysis is correct the DAX should push up about 80 pips from the low made today and fall again. I don't know what the Donald will say or why it will do this except the market is possible to read if you know what you are looking at.
