  • Fed members affirm ‘midcycle adjustment,’ see no ‘pre-set course’ for cuts, minutes show

    From cnbc.com

    video Federal Reserve officials who voted to lower interest rates three weeks ago agreed that the move shouldn’t be viewed as an indication that there is a “pre-set course” for future cuts, according to meeting minutes released Wednesday. The summary indicated that policymakers viewed the move as a “mid-cycle adjustment,” an expression Chairman Jerome Powell used in a news conference afterward that was seen as contributing to a stock market sell-off after the July 30-31 meeting. Markets have been pricing in a series of rate cuts, so Powell’s use of the term spread concern that the Fed might not be as ... (full story)

Nobody was expecting anything from this particular release, so it's fair to say that everyone's expectations were met.
Dollar Gains in result of FOMC
Dow and Nasdaq dipped and then rallied over the next 5 mins

yes , did you say anything 30 mins ago ?
better wait until powel speech in friday
Typical August for the EURO. Everyone takes the month off and goes on holiday. It sure is showing that to be the case, this was the worst month for EURO trading I've had since last Fall.
i think the best pair to watch is USDCAD , there might be a short opportunity

Euro has been dead, when it comes to volatility, for almost a year now.

total farce
Many times when the news or event is this important, the release itself merely sets up the actual play to follow, up or down (depending on how your set up reading works). It can look like nothing happened but the market will set up the sequence to follow in a series of fast action chaotic ups and downs on release then position for the next day based on the balance of forces in the remaining e.g. Gold 3 or so hours of the trade day (which clearly is not enough time to express the full scope of any significant impact). Next day may look more impressive -----> releasing the full force of the bottled up impact and catching many by surprise because at that point the mind of many traders may have moved on. Lets not forget it is a market not an economics laboratory. It certainly does not look a farce to me -------> watching Gold for direction based on the views above. But of course if by tomorrow we see no strong directional moves we can look elsewhere for volatility.

LOOOL ,
Inflation currently undershooting 2% symmetric target.
One more 25 pts cut in 2019 then they sit in neutral thru-out 2020
Certainly not any advocates of aggressively reversing current monetary policy.
General view is policy is still accommodating enough.

Powell going to be Bland on Friday.

USD not going to move because of Fed but overseas activity will move it given large enough event.
Last cut was no “pre-set course” for further cuts.
It was just a “mid-cycle adjustment”... no cuts frenzy, cool down business mad people!

I was not pretending to be the prophet here or say "I totally predicted this", just light banter, mate.

Myself, I only ever trade a pattern that's in progress, I never predict anything.
Pretty much we were expecting it to be flat as you've all said we are truly waiting for Friday for the "guidance towards the future".

i thought you were joking damn , mate just learn from mistakes , and if you have just started trading , back off a little bit from charts , a week are two weeks , then start trading a demo account for a while , we all have been there and lost accounts , it is just a part of the journey , dont blame yourself , it has happened to all the traders in the world .

{quote} I think all is the problem brother
start the demo account , an just focus or one or two markets . like eurusd and gbpusd or usdjpy . try to have a plan . when you enter based on that plan and when you exit . and just trade at a specific time of the day . like london session . and start reading and reading and reading . there are a lot of thing that you must read , and i myself think all the succesful traders are continuosly learners . it never stops . start and you will succed be sure about that
