Stagflation is a period of high inflation, low economic growth, and high unemployment. The US economy is currently experiencing low unemployment and economic growth, but inflation is still above the Fed's target.

The high unemployment piece is in the pipeline with Donald's government layoffs also in the pipeline.

Cheers now to decide to take the hit or wait for a move up.. as BoE is already priced in I have a feeling we may go up soon. Maybe not to my short zone of 195 but circa 193. Not sure why the pair is tanking so much considering how the GBP is doing against USD. Still not worked this pair out

Good Morning NY/London Traders Hope everyone survived the liquidity sweep GU price action is showing the characteristics of a significant change in sentiment. Adding GTC limit buy order @ 1.2457, holding long positions from 1.2165, 1.2245, 1.2377. Food for thought, appears that possible sentiment shift may have started 1-13-25, the day CME futures rolled over. Next rollover date, i believe, is 2-14-25 . daily bars, small positions, ladder into trends. "the catalyst is inconsequential" "old...

This is why tariffs will not happen at least not for Canada and Mexico. That was just to bring everyone to the table to negotiate. Do I need to state the obvious what is going to happen with GBPUSD on longer term.

Negotiate what?
This was an edict by Donald!
He fabricated a fentanyl crisis where there is more of the drug going to Canada from the US than from Canada to the US!
Canada is a net recipient of illegal guns that the US doesn't give s--t about.
He still says the solution is for Canada to become a state.
The man is out of control!
I don't know which comes first, either he gets impeached or unites the world against the US!

What if we become a 51st state, what are you going to do about it, that is a "if", not saying is going to happen. Are you going to do something about it?

{quote} GDP does tell you how economy is doing. It is lagging but important. It is one of the important economic indicators, and very useful into making a decision in trading.
Yes, in the 1940s, where your economic literature comes from, deficits matter here in the real world of 2025.
The UK has a 5% deficit, and the US has a 9% deficit.
If Musk cuts government spending on people digging holes and other people filling them up, GDP will fall.

UK investment is still below the pre-Brexit peak and this undermines long-term growth. The US by contrast has seen a boom in private.
UK investment, particularly business investment, remains below its pre-Brexit peak, with the uncertainty surrounding Brexit cited as a key factor contributing to this stagnation; even though the UK has seen some recent growth in foreign direct investment, it still falls short of pre-Brexit levels.

  2. The US economy has benefited from government intervention, such as the infrastructure bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, and domestic chip manufacturing.

Global trade:

  1. The UK was the fifth-largest exporter and fourth-largest importer in the world in 2022.
  2. The US dollar is the world's reserve currency and is used in the majority of international transactions.

The United States has the world's largest economy. The US has held this position since 1871, when it surpassed the United Kingdom.

GJ

take a loss.
This is not a good set up, as price is in corrective wave 4.

Messy PA, once two rejection appear on top candle ,time to take loss
Walk away and now re entry hoping to recover some losses.

Lesson learned:
No need to trade corrective waves EW4—just go outside and touch some grass.( Or better smoke some)
When things don’t go as planned, walk away quickly.
Might get a few bruises, but at least won’t lose your shirt.

February can't be traded for a year, those contracts live for 3 months. I know it's written on CME, but open TV chart

Feb/Apr/May/.. are serial contracts, they are not liquid, nothing happening there. For 3 months BG25 volume is ~11k contracts, which is just typical London open on Quarterly ones
On the screen you can see 900 contracts Open Interest
Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec - these ones matters
