My opinion is .25 hike. I agree that .50 is possible but might be too aggressive. And I also agree that 0 is a possibility. Either way, I'll wait for the fallout before taking any new trades in this pair.

Now soon we should see one that says: Correction- A spokesman for the spokesman for US Sec Gary Lock said he was "Impresise" when he stated the spokesman was "Impresise" about the mulling over of a second stimulus measure, and these were his precsise words.

Well some of the bone heads that make these statements have no clue, then they correct what they say, and then correct it again by saying it was taken out of context and it goes on and on It has to be some kind of BS training they go through... IMO

These guys are masters at skirting around questions without giving an answer, they will give you a 5 minute statement that is to represent the answer to a question and it did not remotely come close to answering the question and usually it has nothing to do with the question at all...it used to get under my skin when they did that now I just expect it and laugh at how they do it...

It's called Media and Presentation training and is generally a must for
anyone who intends to go before the public in some official capacity.
Even the weatherman takes a couple classes.

With it, they teach you buzz words, psycho-babble, and how to say absolutely nothing at great length.

If they would have paid as much attention in Econimics class as they did in Babble class the economy might be in better shape and they would not have to try and impress us with how well they scored on thier Babble finals...

Just a quick question . What does the hike in the rate mean for this currency pair?

Well, so far in the past 24 hours or so, this is what OZ thinks about the euro.

Selling and then afterwards, a little more selling, followed by a bit of selling,
163 figure being the landing zone each time. Keep in mind that in light of this
next potential rate hike, well publicized and all that, the 161 lows of last week
are still intact.

This doesn't actually benefit the EUR/USD though. Overall, a drag in Aussie/USD
would likely cause a drag in Euro/USD.

If these charts don't seem self-explanitory, just flip them upside down, sometimes that helps....

The quick answer is that a higher interest rate makes a currency more attractive to own, so initially it drives the price up. However, it also places the industries of that country at an export disadvntage and causes your domestic industries to have to charge higher prices, which are economic negatives...

I'm havig a real problem seeing why RBA would raise rates here. Interest rates are generally a tool to stimulate economic activity and also to control inflation. From all the recent releases, I don't see Australia having any problems. Quite the opposite, their dollar is already very high???

So unless this is some weird machismo of reaching USD parity, or punishing domestic industry, there is no need or point to raising rates now.
