Rating Currencies Via Political Sentiment

What are the implications of political sentiment on currency? Here's my take on the major currencies.

USD - Bearish: Obama, Hillary, McCain, Iraq, Iran, AA?

GBP - Bearish: Blair, Iraq, Afghanistan

EUR - Slightly bullish but reservedly so. Germany and France are tettering.

JPY - Bullish

CAD - Bearish: Insane Liberals

NZD - Slightly bullish: Less Insane Liberals

AUD - Bearish: Insane Liberals

ZAR - Bearish Cf. ZIM

I guess Political Sentiment matters more to investors than traders, but maybe a few here see things differently?

Realy, you don't need to know all that. Many ways to profit bearish or bullish.

Maybe you should have posted this in the humor section. This may ruffle some feathers in this section.

If "Insane Liberals" means bearish according to you, how come you rate the EUR slightly bullish? Go to France if you want to see "insanely liberal" people

I propose another way of filtering "bullish" and "bearish" market sentiment:


USD - Bearish: Jerry Springle's show really gotta go man.

GBP - Bullish: Daniel Craig nailed it as the new James Bond.

EUR - Bullish: French bonnets are back in fashion I hear.

JPY - Bullish: oriental ladies are the hottest, no doubt.

CAD - Bearish: What the hell is up with a country where half the people speak English and the other half French?

NZD - Bullish: lamb chops are my favorite dish.

AUD - Bearish: T-shirts, bleached hair and flip-flops? oh please come on!


Do you reckon Bloomberg might take on my analysis?

USD - slightly bullish. More spending bills. But we will also see more vetos because it's not his friends' spending bill.

You forgot CHF so I will enter it:

CHF: Neither Bullish Nor Bearish but Phillyish. I have always had a schoolboy crush on my favorite Swiss Miss Martina Hingis. Plus its the only pair I trade.

This is why trading appeals to me more than investing: you can profit from pessimism.

Bears always have enough to eat. They just have to look for it.

Economics is a subset of politics, even if most would like to think it is not.
