The market is the sum total of people and their opinions. It explains perfectly why it is an irrational insane lunatic running around like a chicken with its head chopped off polluting and destroying the majority of people it comes in contact with, while a few other lunatics have learned how to negotiate and bargain with it!

next QE3 talk will come soon. I rather pay now attention to the french election. IF Sakozy loss ? Lots of speculations

I don't understand why market jerks at every fart coming from FOMC.
FOMC issues statement which says - nothing changed, so why the reaction?

You seem to forget the magic word: QE3.
No QE3? Thats's everything the market was waiting for...

It's the classical intermarket relationship: when the USD is getting up, the gold...and silver are falling (inflation).
I went silver short yesterday...

Well eur should have gone below 1.305 today but typical buy the hope and sell the truth.

Very typical before a FOMC statement, am expecting the parasite to go below 1.305 this evening for a kill. won't bother buying at all.

Should take out 1.303 as well, I think. 1.298 here we come.

That's the main reason why 795bln was parked overnight at ECB

statement appeared pretty risk on.
low interest rates until 2014.
Aussie and Cad holding their own
Equities up
GBP is stable.
Euro went down
Jpy weak against USD
As of this post this is the case.
5 minutes from now who knows?

Mar 13, 2012 1:24pm

it's people loading up on big orders before just in case there is a suprise, then dumping them when the suprise doesn't come (then revert to mean on the spikes)
