nfp is gonna send this thing throught the roof to new highs
will it? the u.s. is picking up manufacturing. so we will import less. we will use what we make and export the rest..japan is hiring in Mississippi, Alabama (Germany also). German manufacturing and japan manufacturing is slipping at home. the less the u.s. imports, the less the deficit. lower deficit = stronger usd. if oil has peaked.. the usd will get stronger and the deficit reduces.

i am watching the aj.. its confused at best atm.. im sure we will bounce, but after the jury is out for me still. i doubt it goes much past 3640 if we get there. atm 3311 seems a stretch.

the employment news may be baked in .. the s/p may form a dt. if it does we got lots of room down. 50% of this leg is a long way.

i think we see 3329 and possibly higher tmmrw... the market is funny about punishing people who are too biased one way(including yours truly)... lotsa people seeing this PMI news will want to load up short on the EU... no better time to jam it up thier asses...

in time I think we def turn hard and drive down deep and like you said... the US trade deficit will reduce, producing a stronger USD.... not yet though... the USD is still a funding currency so it really only sees strength in safe haven flows....

with politicking the way it is... NFP's will prolly show another monster number to help obamarama.... and USDs will be sold off across the board... the EU may not be the best pair to trade tmmrw though... but it should go up with the rest if that happens

not saying we will.. but it happens often before a new high true b/o

the same pattern happened with the euro with this bounce to 348x from the jan low. if true the down move will be the 348x high to the jan low X 2 min..

just for some brain candy....

greece tendnered 172bln euros in the swap with an 83.5% participation rate and a 85.8% consent rate... the CACs effect everyone participating, and everyone who isnt... the ISDA meets to decide if this will create a credit event(thats bad for the market)... thing is, law bond terms will be amended according to greece for all holders(which is going to end up in court with massive lawsuits and endless litigation)

25bln euro in greek bonds have held out so that will be what the litigation will effect(not good for the Euro)... and the deadline for everyone to jump on board is march 23rd.... if this doesnt eget sorted out greece still faces a hard default...

funny thing is a hedge fund can EASILY block this whole thing by locking down the law bonds... then greece has 0 leverage to do anything with.... it would force a massive credit event and trigger all the CACs.... the banks would make billions in this event but it would destroy europe because they would need to print to high heaven and tax the shit out of the people in order to stave off immediate destruction


but thats a worst scase scenario

that really is still up for debate... simple fact of the matter is do the major hedge funds want to take the 70% haircut on their GGB exposure OR do they want to go ahead and let greece default so they can get ALL their money back via calling in their CDS's

Remember all it takes is ONE HF to block this entire thing... honestly all it would take to block this entire deal is one hedge fun to buy out a 3 billion euro blocking stake of UK-law Greek bonds ... then greece has absolutely 0 leverage and it is a forced credit event.... means a massive...

funny thing is sometimes these fundies take into account a much much broader scoipe... so for our purposes as traders... the market doesnt always line up with the fundies at the most convienient times... ive learned that the hard way...lol

....Looks like this is done and gone for now. 80% on Board, ECB with preference and the other via CACs....going to court against the "whole" financial world that finally accepted the unavoidable (since 2 years ago) is not a bright option..... plus and to be honest, come on, they were playing with fire and they knew it. The had enough time to "clear" and run so they knew the risks .... with this deal they lost almost all like it or not...
