from OANDA's forum:

"The re-sets of vaiable rate mortgages is going to be a killer. Starting in August, some $286 BILLION in mortgages will re-set to interest rates - ALL WITHIN 90 DAYS. This represents 35% of ALL outstanding ARMs.

To relate, back in Feb/March, 100 Billion of them reset.

End of their info.

Now, you know that after they reset, it takes a month or 2 before they miss their payments or are LATE making the payment (this is reported each month somewhere). Then, after 4 - 6 months, the bank starts the foreclosure process (filing papers - this figure is also reported each month). So, there is a slight time delay - we should start to see some VERY negative news starting about November/December - just in time for Christmas!

What I also learned was that last Dec. UBS was calling for 4 rate cuts for the FED. They now are not.

Also - UBS is currently calling for ECB to HIKE 2 more times this year and 2 times in the first half of 2008."

another oandian i see.

altogether there is one trillion usd due for reseting, even if most people dont end up in default, a big protion of us paycheck all of the sudden is gonna have to pay for those higher interests rates...

i must say, it dont look pretty right now.

Guys, could you enlighten me? I get the USD to JPY relation, but why did cable go down with bad USD data? What is the connection to GBP here that Im missing?

Cable still priced very high-what ever the excuses. Trend just start going down. Next UK housing, and Eur IFO news expected to come out weaker than last month.
We may see 20380 before London news

Looks really pretty if you don't have a mortgage, have your dosh in GBP in UK banks at 6.5% and are LONG cable and you are planning to buy a house in the US...

In fact it's the prettiest thing since Liz Hurley's dress - and that's pretty..

bring it on !

my pending buy triggered at 2.0500

Good luck with that.

If this 4hr bar closes below the last one, most likely we're going down more.

aiming 2.0475 and 2.0446 respectively..
Only concern is that the hourly bar closed above 2.0507 resistance I had.

Of course it will try to make a comeback, but it may have been temporarily wounded, it should continue lower today

Among all the "I think it is", all I see is profit taking for the end of the month on lack of important/strong data.

Not a big deal, actually. There are 1,000 pips to TP and some day the guys are gonna cash in, wouldn't you?
You been loading the truck?

I know I have every now and then I pack another box. And I agree on the profit taking view, just waiting now for the Kiwi news muwahahaha

my bias is that way as well... Might even hit 2.0525 before going down further.

Might see 2.0300 by the end of the week.

2.0513 is an important fib level in my H4 studies and the price is lingering there. I wonder if the day will have enough momentum to break this fib level of mine. Also wondering the effects of the Beige Book.

For sometime only adding shorts on better long term r:r ratio than long position.

Level of stress decreases a lot doing this. It wasn't a matter of IF there would be profit taking, but when. So I quit trying to figure out "what's up for the day"....
