Kicking the can (to be honest don't know why the noise when the real deal comes later in May/June when the payments are due and the official default can happen...but anyway) will complete the swing to the highs with the extension to 1.126x to roll the month with the key FOMC for the hikes coming soon announcement (and down we go till the summer)... Failure to reach a deal and worst default will sent the euro in one way to 1.049x (with default 1.02xx at least in the knee jerk reaction in minutes) but it would 100% guarantee to make the FED hold any...
It's gonna be game over for Yanis & Co.: they can't pay and they won't make a deal. Ezone green shoots owe more to a weak Euro than to QE, which has just got underway. Shoots will be that much greener with fiber at parity or below. Wave of Greek defaults will begin in May, spread into June, and they will be back on the drachma before you can say spanakopita 10x fast this Summer. World CB's will respond by building bonfires of new money on every continent. I don't know where it all will end, but I am looking for fiber <$1.04 in May and below parity in July. Just in case I am wrong, which, believe it or not, has sometimes been the case, I am playing short euro with cheap, defined-risk long put spreads, May, June and further calendars and verticals, funded with short call spreads.

Good luck to all.

Any of yall in UCAD? On magix's lead, skimming through some other pairs...looks like an easy-peasy broken support - turned resistance play possible on the daily. Correlates with 50% of yesterdays candle as well. Around 1.2400 It'd have to stop bleeding first, looking unlikely. Something to watch in the days to come.
These numbers have changed, IF the CAD retraces, I'd watch the following....a pretty good fu zone

The pink numbers should be more valid than the green, the green at better suited for next month

NYC was perfect. Still here, but off the clock until 2pm Tuesday in LA. Fly to SFO tonight...drive to Santa Barbara tomorrow evening. Staying with friends in both. Good times. Will aim to roll into LA at 1:59pm. Not my favourite US metropolis.

Holding shorts on EU...or did you flatten up?

Nice shot, Scott! Certainly one to watch.

One eye on Loonie...the other on Oil...could line up nicely.

Off to watch the Formula 1 with some mates for brunch. <--mine'll be the Benny and Bloody Mary (Caesar if I can get it).

Snooker and ice hockey, too...fun and games!

Catch you around the open. Enjoy what's left of your non-screen-time.

Absoultely, if the 15M tells me to

Went flat on the EU, I took a few shorts, most stopped out @ BE + 1, a few 15 pippers. This zone is a shitty one....need to see monthly close. May pop a long or two depending on if I feel like pissing into the wind.

What is with this headline/rubbish across the BBC (and world, I guess) now...

If re-elected, the Conservatives are promising to sell off the former Lloyds debt at a discount to punters.

Goodness gracious...the world has gone NUTS!!!

And if you DON'T buy it at that discount...we'll sell it straight back to the institutions that we bailed out (with your money) in the first place!

Never seen that as a political play before. Some bright spark thought that one up...some new kind of spin! Hope it wasn't darimik ()!

Next time you're on my side of the Hemisphere, remind me 2 weeks ahead so I can join you.

Maybe I can use all my fx profits for the month to buy us a fancy lunch

I know a place or two in NY you can get a blumpkin if you really want one. Gotta tip well though

Maybe convince Hatch to grab is cane & donut to come with...
