Thanks for the info BurgerKing. I think Initial Claims is a weekly number though. I dont think it made much of a difference last week even though it was USD negative.

Are they saying we should go LONG again?

if UK economy up - USD goes down
if US economy up - USD goes down
if us pays of national debt - USD goes down
US finds world peace - USD goes down
New Sitcom on TV - USD goes down
