German numbers keep coming a bit healthier than expected with European Equities sitting in imminent break up for nearly 2 weeks. We are aligning for a strong round of numbers this week.. Eyes on DAX 984x holding today will be enough in my case to trigger one more rally till Brexit/FED. US equities also refusing to break down yet and we just need just a soft push to crack 2059.xx for a test 2090.xx with GDP this week so eyes in NY for a first attempt.

We are set to mark the low of this month in European and US equities as early as today.

On the rest of the board, all as expected with Euro struggling to keep the handle and a tiny push with NY will blow soft stops on the current lows to complete the move before Friday.

Actively looking for opps in Equities and in the rest of the board: same levels, same trades, same all ...

GL all this week

Sisse, do you think austrian election can have any effect on EU markets whatsoever? Or is more a non-event from the markets side? I guess so. No direct impact. Only adding problems in mid/long term for EU.

Is there any official page to know when the FED's Members are going to speak? For example, William's speech was not dated in the calendar and his speech is the driver just now, or he started to speak one hour and half ago, just at 8'00 NY time isnt'it? It was dated Bullard, nor Williams. Where is he speaking? Any interview? It's fun they always speak at NY open..

EDIT: It was dated in another Forex calendar

The funny thing is that as far as central Europe is concerned the whole refugee thing is mostly a theoretical discussion. The country with the heaviest burden at the moment is Greece, where 800-1000 people arrive every day.

I am going to get a bit political on this post so NO TRADING POST DISCLAIMER...


As you know things are never that easy or black and white in such crisis.

--> On one hand, blaming all the refugee crisis to the ineptitude of European governments wont be totally true. However they have a fair share of fault.

We (and I mean we the whole world) witnessed the first Genocide of the 21st century (the numbers of people massacre, refugees, internal displace people, chemical weapons, mass massacre of children etc in Syria makes any human being feel sick to say the least). Some very pessimistic reports are starting to compare it to numbers in WWII....

Europe 'conveniently' turned a blind eye for a long time pretending that the biggest human atrocity in decades was going to go away alone thinking that such human destruction was not going to have spill over effects (from Refugees to Terrorist profiting from the disaster). European governments ignored Russia and Turkey until the crisis was blown out of proportion and only then at the 11th hour find some kind of deal in the region.... we can go forever in the politics of this ...

--> On the other hand, 90% of the refugees are just human beings, families mostly woman with children. Blaming them for the problem is definitively a NO NO...they are the victims and they receive the worst from both sides.

Point is, nobody really 'allow' them to come in. Is not like these people turn out in Frankfurt, Schiphol, Heathrow Airport, etc flying in Economy Premium with a tourist visa and the immigration officer just received them with a welcome gift .... You need to put the number in perspective. We are talking about MILLIONS of people crossing border in the middle of nowhere as entry point!!!

Thousand of people are/ were (less now) coming everyday. They have been just literally throwing themselves at the sea via Italy, Greece, Malta and by Land via Turkey and the Eastern boarder for a very long time but Europe was conveniently ignoring and leaving the whole problem to the border countries.

--> The case is so pathetic, that the EU with the UK (Austria was in this group obviously as landlocked country) on the lead decided to withdraw the funding for covering the European borders leaving Italy and Greece to handle a human stampede of desperate people running war....and you know what happened later...well the obvious the entry point countries they just gave up holding the doors and allow them to flow inside of Europe in a rush....

Whatever the case, it's a shame a country that gave birth to the biggest bastard of last century is leading again the dark side of humanity to get back in power. I hope they don't but the damage is done. Europe like usual will play with fire until somebody gets burnt ...

Regarding your point. I don't think 'allow' is the correct word.

--> Some maybe right, we should have just killed or allowed to be killed in their own country the nearly 3 millions refugees but thats a huge moral line that at least in my case I am not willing to even consider as an option and considering what happened the last time Europe decided to cross that line only a few decades ago...

You are right nothing is black and white but you totally missed the main reasons for the current migrant crisis.

This all started, with and was a direct consequence of,

1. the illegal war with Iraq

2. The murder of Gaddafi

3. the creation and funding of ISIS

4. The destabilisation of countries with the Arab spring

5. Angela Merkel's ''all are welcome'' policy

6. In other words this is the unintended consequence(or was it intended) of US/AIPAC/Hitlery foreign policy

Also - the majority of refugees are single, fighting age, males - Thanks to the above Europe has now got thousands of resident Jihadists ready and waiting

A rather dull day across the board. US equities failed one more time to take 2059.xx leaving the rest of the board stuck until equities clear the map. A bit more interesting from the Euro side, falling to take back 1.123x on the closing session will trigger early imminent break down alerts in the short term which is the only highlight for the rest of the day ...

Boring day in markets so interesting to talk about EU politics. I completely agree there is absolute necessity to help those individuals - its morally indisputible - and europeans have to stand up for that + there is no way saying they are "letting"them in cuz its much more complex. There is one fuc*ed up-semidictator in Turkey blackmailing EU and letting them set off towards Greece through what used to be a military zone between countries in war where not a mice would go through + international law ordering to help anyone in need on sea. Once they get on european boat European convention on human rights applies and they cannot be returned unless their asylum application is "heard", i.e. they have to be taken into mainland.

One of many problems just in case anyone is interested: from the ECHR judicature there are countries, which are not "safe" = violating human rights and no migrant can be returned there. Im just waiting til some case of a migrant sent beck to Turkey on ground of Turkey-EU agreement gets to ECHR (definitely will) and the agreement is gonna be put down. There was one between Lybia and Italy about repatriation of migrants and ECHR said that the rule of "safe country" has priority. And its basically insane. Half of the countries in the world violate human rights and those would be 100s milions people who could never be repatriated no matter if they get to EU as economic migrants/war refugees. That has to be changed - how? I guess only those individuals who could face violation of human rights in their concrete case should be protected not everyone coming from unsafe country.

And EU and Austria: the problem in Austria does not come only from refugee crisis but also from the fact that for many decades there was a big coalition of socialists and cristian democrats and the frustration with so strong statut quo got much higher than in any other EU country so far. Plus I personally think there are some proto-fascist tendencies in austrian sociaty given the catholic and agricultural countryside (similar in Slovakia). However, the role of EU in election outcome is huge because the refugee crisis is too big to be solved on member countries lvl but EU is too much incompetent to solve it insted of them. Outome is that we see hounded thousands of people uncontrollably going through balcan which is absolutely insane "pre-civilization" state, where anyone moves without any borders and control of states. And there is no suprise the populists are coming. Dont wanna even imagine what would happen if any financial/macroeconomic/euro crisis strikes - east and central europe may have fascist tendencies but they not gonna get masses into streets. That can easily change with change in economic conditions.

So long story short: EU is in desperate situation: everyone looks up to it to solve the crisis but it does not have the institutions/mechanisms for that as its set to create norms for economic integration. Only solution is further federalization. The longer the recent state stays the less willing are the member states to federalize further as populists take over. And in my view the river has been crossed.

I don't want to say much about this until next week. Otherwise it will become a monologue and you and the others who replied wont get anything out of it. I just gave you a concept to explore, let it play out and see if you get something out of this. We will wrap it up when the month closes.

Very interesting post.

I am not sure the EU needs further federalisation neither I think is even remotely ready for it.

However, what I am absolutely clear is that going back to the medieval ideas of nationhood and each country pulling their own self-interest with populist and extremist parties is not the way forward and will lead to where it always ends up: division, protectionism and like 95% of the last 500 years in Europe: chaos, xenophobia, extremist and war.

Very tricky close in both European and US equities. DAX closed to the tick 9840.x making the TA side too close to call while US equities crash one more time at 2059.xx. However, there is a key short term play in behind. APPL closed triggering imminent break up short term (to fill the earning gap) after Buffet carry the board and herd to ride it.

A very complex environment as we approach to a key monthly close. Apple single handed can carry the equities board given the current circumstances. 9840.x /2059.xx respectivly are the rain makers for a farewell rally of the year...
