From bloomberg.com

Bookings for non-military capital goods excluding aircraft climbed 0.9 percent last month after decreasing 0.4 percent in May, data from the Commerce Department showed Monday in Washington. Orders for all durable goods -- items meant to last at least three years -- increased 3.4 percent, propelled by a rebound in the volatile aircraft category.

IMHO it depends where the leverage is. At the moment it looks as though the group of people collectively on the hook are the Chinese public. Smart money (US$ hundreds of billions) has been leaving the country over the last couple of months ... and it doesn't look as though it has gone into Gold.

Big drop in the dollar coming soon. Be on the right side when it happens. I sold 6 of the 7 major dollar pairs last night and I'm up over 200 pips right now. Pay attention to the dollar index!

You are right about the dollar index. The big boys have been selling dollars all day, perhaps to balance their accounts, perhaps to stop hunt the retail traders, or whatever.

However, this seemingly unorthodox movements against the dollar in the face of good data will probably not continue. And the reversal will be considerable in my opinion. So I'd keep my stops pretty tight to maintain those pips in profit.

So good for you. You have exhibited good day trading instincts and judgment. I generally don't trade both ways in a volatile market especially against the data and fundamentals.

Well, as I wrote this morning that today is just that kind of day you will always be on the wrong side of the market.

How the Hell is it that the data is positive and the Euro is rising? .... Yeah exactly as I said be careful Guys!

It is a seasonal adjustment + other countries ordered aircraft.

It looks a bit like autos in the consumer market. There's just a point in time where the buyer in the market capitulates and makes a purchase because the "equipment" has expired. Executives don't like flying 30 year old airplanes.

I guess no one notices the revisions. The real numbers for this indicator are BEARISH!! And that's why I think it never had any sustained bulls today. Of course I didn't get those revisions here on FF

I downloaded the desktop application from wbponline.com which is great. Between the streaming news on FF and WBP along with calendars (I look at both) I feel like I covered most issues.

Most interesting to me is to see these different calendars who assign different importance levels for the same events. Now I look at all indicators (low, medium, and high) to make sure nothing slips by. I found that out because FF assigns low to certain indicators that should be medium, etc.

In just a little while and the dollars bulls will emerge. But my take is that it won't last for long. Just know what the market manipulators are trying to do.
