Big flop.... and that will pretty much kill the day with Yellen on the top of the hour ... sisse
Wouldn't this decrease the odds of a december hike? FED members are very divided about the issue. People are all very sure about a hike in december though (a little too sure imho). Reminds me of all the gamblers who were so sure brexit wouldn't happen, although the odds were divided, yet it happened.

I think I'll stay on the sidelines on the issue in december, unless there are heavy indications a hike is unavoidable.

Not in a million years ! we're talking about a survey conducted by one university gathering info from about 500 person via phone .

What Sisse was pointing is that this flop could intervene with the daily flow , nothing more .

We've been waiting for a second hike for a year and were even expecting two this year. A 25bp hike will be everything but exceptionnal ! Nothing hawkish !
And yes there are heavy indications !

...and that was it for the European session. Europe going home with more noise from the UK government selecting a very close and rather very ill prepared bunch of talking heads in charge of the EU negotiations....

We are heading for a hard brexit as for this week as May is going 'all in' ignoring warnings from all fronts including markets, without including anybody in the table for discussion and against all recommended advice to be careful and inclusive ..... There will be blood !!!!

Yellen to close the week ...

First read @hoom ...he got it right.

Second, I don't think the FED member are divided at all. There is pretty much a consensus on rates coming the only thing they are pushing is a 60 days window of when.

Third, we are already way underway trading the next hike what is more interesting is that the expectations for next year are jumping high very fast.

Fourth, this is nothing to do with Brexit polls. One is elections counting votes, this is pretty much a fact backed up by macro and monetary forces. Again nobody is really discussing if hikes but when in within the next 90 days will happen the next one ....

I suspect the ugly consumer info is due in large to the Presidential elections. Will be interesting to see the immediate report after a president gets elected...and whether or not a trend develops from there.

if the Fed really wanted to show they were data driven and no whores to the Stablishment, they would pop a 25 bp hike at the FOMC meet right before the elections. Yeah, right... More likely of course is the Santa rally breaking loose (US equities) right after 11/08 and then cherry on top Dec hike. Afterwards reaction similar to last year but we'll see....

They won't rock the boat. FED is setting us for rate by default and playing the looooong expectations for 3 hikes or whatever next year.

Basically expected lots of talk about next year and very little for the DEC one until is done and the unaware and average Joe investor just realised that it missed the play...

I thought the beer was after the iteration on whether longs were stopped out or not? That's what I'm playing...actually down to the 1.08xx handle. BUT

Excellent call on the candle, i was wrong ...now tell us how you did it. I notice you've waited to explain your "roll call" again....

Also what beer do you want? You strike me as the type to drink Stella Artois hehe

  • Oct 14, 2016 3:24pm Oct 14, 2016 3:24pm
I owe you a few for sure. Since I am eliminated from playing, I def can get the drinks for everyone! I can be the beer bitch. Lol.

We are closing under .0978; but, this time there is a lot more certainty in it for the mid and long term play due to FA.

I am quite sure it has to do with the close and low ( wick ) on weekly and monthly . We was retesting low of August as resistance on the roll yesterday ( Actually a golden level ) . If I am completely of track I will have debt 2 beers for Sisse.

Well done to all that took the short .
