{quote} I think you have that the wrong way round. Yen is considered a safe haven....as is to a lesser extent the swissy. Both go up in a risk off scenario[/quote No down in both pairs is strength.
buy yen and swissy......not sell.....risk off

strange move
close SPX short on the down move and now reenter short 3225
same thing with gold long again 1593

short eu/long eu is hedged and not did much.

but move came back because if i understand Iran hit some targets but missed everything no US casualties.
Now i guess it;s important to see if US respond, if it does this positions are going to make money again
don't really know on EU. seems the conflict will weaken the the USD at the beginning.

There has been analysis that Iran's response was meant to de-escalate the situation. These were large missiles that put on a good show, but were (theorized) purposely not targeted at the living quarters on the bases and hit the edge of the base. So Iran can now tell its people that it is the first nation to fire across borders at US forces since 1991. Neither Iran nor the US can afford to get into a war. Iran can say all it wants, but right now reports are that there are no casualties. And tomorrow morning, Trump can report that he "won" and no US soldiers were harmed.*

*Depending on what he sees on Fox in the morning.

I don't believe all the rubbish written against Trump from some one-sided media. Anybody can write what he feels. There is no way in the world that Trump's agenda or military tactics are set by Fox. It is impossible. Who believes such a thing that the lives of over 300m people are decided by what Fox says. Why not CNN, right?

My home country is a failed one with some failed leader, and it is understandable that there are media groups that practically hate him and constantly write against him. This doesn't automatically mean that all they write is correct, which means I don't believe all the trash they write about him.

Leaders can be wicked but they are usually not stupid or foolish. Trump can be all the bad people say he is but foolish isn't one of them. And yes, it is foolishness to set your administration's agenda based on some cable TV. CNN goes all out against him so his kind of person will need to massage his ego by watching Fox where he is painted as some angel. Yet, he isn't foolish.

Well, there is some debate on that, and the level of his foolishness, but I won't get into it here as this is not the place. I do think he's smart enough to know that if he wanders into a war now it will be bad for him politically. DOW futures have come up a little, so I'm hoping people are looking forward to cooler heads tomorrow.
