Hi,

There's something that keeps me confused! And I'd like someone to explain me, please.

If... USD is expected to have a rate hike, then going long on USD is the right thing, right?

Forget about the pair, just think that... is USD against... water, whatever.

If there's a rate cut, then I should go short on USD, right?
A good strategy for trading is... the opposite of having a bad strategy.

right! just as a note, today there will be no rate cut, the question is: rate hike or not? and how the USD will react on "no hike" is (for me) hard to say.

Thanks man.

Yes, I know there's no cut rate, it was just to verify what I understood about the concept.

Thanks again man

I believe what I'm reading in most websites, there will be no rate hike.

no the insert wasn´t the confusion. The word "cant" was the confusion. I think you ment "will not most likely" because of course they can
