Still riding my shorts from 2500 and added shorts from 2591...

2525 is a point of resistance in my chart.
i expect the drift untill 2476 and then bounce to 2525.
All my shorts closed for profit and long since 2480 with target 2539 stoploss is tight.

The Chinese government has been for years used Hong Kong's HKD to finance a lot of forex transactions, and act as a "firewall" to major 'players' that can disrupt currency values.
how does that work?

it is what it is.
Yeah I guess so, it seems so.....ummmm.....primary school thinking to behave in that manner. Imagine if the rest of the world had this Swiss mentality...what a clusterfuk that would cause....and, at the end of the day, apart from holding other peoples money and a few wristwatches, the Swiss aren't really a big player......perhaps they would like to be?

I think the Chinese are a slightly differnet kettle of fish though.....it's very difficult to draw an analogy because China playes very much by it's own set of rules for it's own hidden agenda

You can't buy Chinese currencies in whatever quantities you want even if you had the money to. The government issues limited amount of licenses for institutions and with quotas. Typically the limit for individuals are very low, but the recent Expo 2010 in Shanghai, has been moved up to around 100K USD. Before was below 10K, and you have to register and such. Nevertheless, Hong Kong's Hong Kong Dollar has been pegged to USD for many decades, and the RMB (china's currency) has a slightly movable rate towards the HKD.

You can exchange HKD to buy RMB and vice versa in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong back in '97 had a Huge currency reserve for such a small city and has been a major financial hub before and after 97. Because of that, a lot of currency exchanges effectively goes through Hong Kong cause its now part of China, and HKD is freely exchanged and can be prone to speculations but highly unlikely now due to the 'immediate' government intervention in the Asian financial crisis.

So, letting the HKD to stand in the front to withstand any weather, the RMB can enjoy an easy macro control and slowly using the huge currency reserve to "pay" for any problems of manipulations.

I said time to go long at 80... looking at the support. I think technicals do work sometimes. Anyway I did not go long as I trusted fundamentals

Tks man, pretty good info! I particullary loke this:

Hans Redeker from BNP Paribas said the EU authorities are damned if they do, and damned if they don’t. “The are afraid of provoking another shockwave in the market if they even talk about debt-restructuring, but it will be a hard sell to markets if they don’t.”

Christine Lagarde, French finance minister, said the result of tests would be published on July 23. Details will emerge over coming days on “the exact criteria we apply and of how heavily we stress the system”.

Translation: A massive shitstorm will come down on July 23 when many Eurozone banks are declared insolvent. Hang on to your shorts, hang on to your crotch and hang on to your f@#king hat.

Question for you... European Committee of Banking Supervisors is leading this stress test...other way to put it is taht the same bankas areleading it's own stress test isn't it?? Well, if I "were a bank" I wouldn't damage myself with the result of the tests...logic right?
I think that they are not going to publish the results of the test (or do it as they should) cause it would be really bad for the health of the whole EU. Imagine, as you said, the drop in value for euro. I hope they do it though, si we all can make more money!!
What do you think about it?

They'll have to publish something. And it will look spectacular. But it doesn't mean it's not a house of cards.

If they flip flop and decide to not publish something, traders long on the Euro will have to put their raincoats on because they will get greased in the shitfest after it's hit the fan.

How can you tell when banksters are lying? Their lips are moving.

How can you tell the difference between a bankster and a hooker? The hooker will stop screwing you after you're dead.
