did trump ultimativly confirmed to cancel the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement in the speech right now? Holy moly.
He can't really cancel it so to speak, but he pulled USA out on day one. Naturally that pretty much cancels it's original structure.

Campaign speech. No meat.

Agree. The most presidential appearance yet for sure. Stuck to the text mostly. Other than one or two breaks into personality ("The money is pouring in!") it seemed he took the role seriously for the first time.

encouraging to see DJT focused and his crazy side contained. Baby steps. Honeymoon is over now and he has to make his way thru the snake pit Congress. He will be back to vilifying the Press and lashing out every which way, prolly soon enough....

looks like the Dems are trying to lose 2018 2020. If they continue this path, and DJT avoids a recession- their goose is cooked.

Almost looks like they gave up. Would take a such a monumental effort to make 2018 happen for them in the first place and I don't even see them trying.

His Twitter can't possibly stay this boring for much longer. Wish we could trade it. All indicators lining up for a spike in tweet volatility.



Edit: Just found out we can trade it

Agree with you. Honeymoon is officially over in my books. He will need to start walking the talk ae the mouthful campaign speech won't.cut it anymore.

Trading wise, one of the simplest and easiest ride in a while in Us Equities. If someone didn't grab a penny on this one it should seriously considering if its rigt for this business.

Easy part of the move gone. No complains here. Looking forward to the FED.

For those following french presidential election: unexpected press conference of Fillon (right wing, "les rpublicains") planned at 12pm (GMT+1) today. Loud noise he's about to quit the race and be replaced by ???.
I have opposite feelings for the knee jerk reaction in euro* but pretty sure it will not change the flows for the short term.

It's getting worse for him on the judicial side but he finally decides to continue the race, more shameful than ever ("it's the fault of medias and justice, they don't want me to win" song). That will decrease his chances to go through second round, but more importantly if he finally manages to do it, odds to defeat Le Pen at the second round will be smaller. All in all, i will say something between nothing new and bearish for euro*.

Solid European morning session with decent numbers keep coming from the EZ. All markets behaving accordingly.

Eyes on NY with only highlight of March hikes odds jumping to critical 65℅ and nealy the same for hikes in the Spring. 70℅ is the number of no return.

....and i will take that. Right on time for NY, clearing first target in Sterling on the test to the 1.22xx handle. Well done all riding it from 1.25.xx

In this particular case is also trailing time as we are in major dangerous low levels so its pretty much all or nothing quick with only feeble lows and a huge area of pure air and zero value interest in between
