{quote} watching usdx 100.92 atm close side and eu 0616.. i still have room today.. not expecting much w/o these closes. even a 1 h may help. i suspect these will act as some s/r next week
next week should make these important..
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

haha goose...

for me don't care where it closes so long as it's below 1.06xx, either way 1.05 test is a done deal imo. Wish the break down was a bit more structured, looks like EU just feel off gravity. AUD is the one I'm watching right now.....this would be a nice range to close....I want a piece of it next week

UJ- ugh, I've always hated UJ. If you search my posts for "UJ" more than half talk about how I hate it from what I'm reading the Russian's are moving out into the ocean to confront the US Navy...obviously just posturing as a single Russian ship vs two US battleships is suicide......seems like we're an oops away from risk legs though

Watch out a wipe out if we lose 1.058x at the top of the hour. Major clear of euro position from NY ...Large hands running to Dollar. Europe is not here so it can be a one-way ticket if it's confirmed risk...

Cheat sheet (broad)

-> Soft risk -> Gold
-> Medium risk -> Gold -> Yen/(CHF less now that is a quasi fix CB rate) -> Dollar ->
-> High risk -> Dollar -> Treasuries (German Bonds)
-> Extreme panic -> Treasuries as ultimate haven.

Yeah I have it- but I wouldn't say we are at high risk..

Gold and Yen spiked on the missiles, now it's nothing new but everyone flying to dollar? Treasuries in line

{quote} [...] Finally we have a third challenger rising for 2 weeks now : Melenchon, extrem-left. He is just behind Fillon in the polls now. Melenchon/Le Pen at the second round (very unexpected so far) wil be explosive for Euro*.
Last polls show Melenchon is now in the race for the second round (particularly the one below), and a narrowing in the gap between the 4 frontrunners

Edit : 6 possibilities now for the second round

Macron/Fillon : No Risk (both EU/Euro friendly)
Macron/Le Pen : Very low risk (huge margin for Macron in the polls for the second round)
Macron/Melenchon : Very low risk (not tested in the polls so far but would be the same, margin could be even wider as Le Pens & Fillons voters hate Melenchon)
Fillon/Le Pen : Low/Medium Risk (Le Pen could win because of Fillons fake job scandal)
Fillon/Melenchon : Low/Medium Risk (Melenchon could win because of Fillons fake job scandal)
Le Pen/Melenchon : Super Risk (Le Pen is anti EU/Euro & Melenchon has planned to ask crazy things to EU and, if they are not accepted, to leave Euro. Also, best chances for Le Pen to win in that case as Fillons voters hate Melenchon)
