I agree, no hard landing. The plane is in a supersonic nose dive perpendicular to the ground with about 7 feet of altitude left. In no way will this be a "landing".

I'm starting to think Venezuela was a bad place to invest my retirement funds at 40:1 leverage.

"Negative rates will help boost Japan's economy" Keep in mind this is in negative world, so boost = dump

Maybe when AUD falls to 0.01 the Chinese will start buying their sheeps and iron and iron sheeps again.

This is great! Money is great! Chinese economy is great! One question -- people don't have to pay back Chinese loans, do they?

Go home and get your shine box dailyfx.com Yeah it really cratered like 5 pips for almost 10 minutes before recovering... And in the midst of a 70 pip up move. Quality reporting.

Down to .7111 (why?), then back up to .7211, then back to where it started. Apparently nothing is SHOCKING

The real cock punch here was to the AUD, which spiked from .7248 to .7228 in 5 minutes. Still don't know what that was about. USDJPY slacked from 120.80 to 120.50, but has since bounced back to 120.60. That said, the whole "no new easing" thing ...

I'd be happy to help him with his wealth problem.

The best fundamental day I've seen for a currency in a long time. Commodities rising, a blowout employment report, and signs of inflation implying tighter money. Wouldn't be surprised by an insane rally here towards 0.80

Isn't this kind of a stinky goldilocks number? Better would obviously good on its own. Worse is still good in a sense, because it would likely drive more stimulus spending. But to hit the 7% target exactly means slowing growth with no stimulus. And ...

Back when banks had the "flexibility" that Dimon craves, they didn't save their added leverage capacity as insurance to act as a buffer for businesses. They leveraged to the hilt to max out profits and bonuses. So when a "big shock" hit (as in ...

You know some guys will pay good money for that

Evaluate dogs on their pedigrees. Evaluate economists on their arguments.

What an idiot. Rate cuts are a popgun next to the nuke of QE, which the Fed has already used like Curtis LeMay on a roid rage, and could readily use again. Further, raising rates prematurely would be generating ammunition tomorrow by shooting ...

Last time they published the cut early. I think the expectation here was any cuts would come early as well. In that pattern, with a minute before with no cut -- no cut seems probable.

it is "inconceivable that the German parliament can make a final decision on the bridge program for Greece before the end of February." You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Makes you wonder what kind of pool Goldman is running on this one.

"Aggravated pimping."

I question his unquestionable interestingness, as this was really quite dull.
