hey,

I noticed that around dec 8th or 9th of 2008 the fed cut interest rates.
the EUR/USD rose 600 to 900 pips all in a matter of 20 minutes.

This wednsday there might be another fed rate cut.

I'm thinking of goin long on EUR/USD this Wednsday.

what do you all think?

Cut where too? -/-0.50%?

can't they go to negative interest rate?

Well, you got a point there... After all it's just a matter of printing more money... and hoping the Chinese keep buying...

Now seriously, negative interest rates? un-interest rates?

"The central bank, which started lowering a key interest rate in September, has recently turned much more aggressive. Over the span of just eight days in January, it slashed rates by 1.25 percentage points -- the biggest one-month reduction in a quarter century. Economists and Wall Street investors predict the Fed will cut rates again at its next meeting on March 18."

I would find a more accurate news source, to say the least.

It also says:

"Record high oil prices -- topping $100 a barrel -- are pushing consumer prices upward. That's shrinking paychecks, and with people feeling less well off because the values of their homes have dropped, consumer spending 'slowed significantly' toward the end of the year, the Fed chief said".


Just a little behind the times, 6 months behind.

Ok, i went forward and check the predictions, the current rate is <0.25 as stated, the predictions are <0.25 too, since this is a somewhat "flexible" rate, ranging between 0 and .25.
The most that could happen imho was a fixed cut to 0, but I wouldn't count on it.

UK is down to 0.50% which is just stupid ( I'm on a fixed mortgage for 16months more 6.25% arrggghhhh ) and I hear they are going to cut again, so expect negative.

And yet a credit card company has raised there rate from 28% to 36% I hear recently!!

This entire problem is because people have tooooo damn much credit they can only afford by getting more credit so in making it easier for people to get more credit you can spin it out longer while burying your head in the sand, the more you spin it out the worse it'll be.

Just wipe all credit card and loan debts out completely, leaving Car + Mortgages only, STOP more lending totally then people would have Cash they could spend and without more debts this would then be sustainable.

EASY Really, likely cost less to do above than they've spent for Zero effect so far.
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

2951 is the 50% retrace from last bull move.. if rejected then 2994 is passed im looking to short around 3025--or todays high.. it could go as low as 2923 for this last bull spike to remain mathematicaly wise intack.. and still be considerd in the bull move.. im looking at the longer term and hope it does give the bulls short term run.. for me to enter short..

He must think that lenders will pay out interest on any borowed money.
Now you're getting it...

"Late last week, things took an even more bizarre turn in the Japanese money markets. The nation's benchmark overnight lending rate, the interest rate banks charge each other, fell below zero for the first time.

That means the banks aren't just giving money away – they're paying other banks to take it. In many ways, it's the ultimate vote of no-confidence in the Japanese financial system."
