...and that was it for the French election initial knee jerk reaction flow with the European opening over. All inline with expectations. As expected in the inline with exceptions results in the first round, odds for the final results to be cleared in the second round without risk are sharply increasing in the last few hours.

We are set for a simple buy the 'rumour, sell the fact' in the Euro* for clearing all risk from Europe on the second round. Only Dollar side one more time hijacked by politics and DT tweeter account is the one that can short-circuit the Euro until French election part 2.

For the natural ebb and flow, ECB for a very slight chance to announce something this week given the results but I personally think the odds are severely against doing it a as they wont jump the gun with France only 2 weeks from clearing risk and unlocking the next chapter in the EZ recovery.

For that reason one and only update from France election results:

-> Changing short term outlook in Euro from neutral to soft buy until ECB is cleared.

....DAX is set for ATH [check] on a smooth ride so far since numbers turned around. As soon as risk from elections is clear [uber check], holding cash will be a very expensive affair in Europe investing wise...
Quoting sisse
...DAX 12280 [check[ for ATH and the ext 12575.xx [in play] .... Highlight come from ECB ...unlock the move in European Equities (EZ equities) and carry Euro* [check] as collateral....
Quoting sisse
...quick heads up DAX triggering imminent break up alerts for the Q close and mid term moves. In the very short term DAX is taking 1288x[check], it will carry the Euro no problem at all if we blow up the top in European Equities....
...and I will take that, clearing main target across European Equities with DAX and CAC40 (and all across Europe) flying high on a relief rally. Very well done all riding the rally across different instrument. Simple and direct moves across the board.

EZone is literally with all ducks aligned with a plethora of positive news from all fronts. Only French election chapter 2 left to be cleared and we are set for a whole new chapter in Europe which will include ECB entering back in to the equation. First to mark the end of the QE and then start the first expectations for the normalisation process later in the year.

US will join the party as lagger guest this time but DT announcements and busy earning week will add fuel from its own sources. Expecting 'risk on' to spread across all markets in the very short term...

Soaking in the irony of a LePen victory rally at Francois Mitterand Centre.

And flip hunting on the short term map. Thinking 780 looks good to me at first glance but not in front of charts to do it right until later today.

{quote} i know murdoch is a asshole. does he have any loyalty to anyone other than himself? or he just pro Russian?
No. He doesn't. Neither he has any legal, moral, ethical, our country loyalty restrictions. He only cares about his own interest.

--> As you know he controls 3/4 of the major circulations tabloids/newspapers in the UK (all those hardcore Brexiter, xenobophoe, racist headlines that are cancer in this country), and 1/2 of major media outlets in Australia, UK and a good chunk in the US including the 'almighty' Fox News, Sky , Telegraph etc etc.

Just as side note what a very sharp journalist fond that a few weeks ago.

Do you know since Brexit R. Murdoch is the private and public person outside of T.May inner cabinet with most official meeting directly with May (I think it was 12 meetings until Dec). Not even the UK top diplomats has as many official meeting (as is the minimum you would expect with Brexit).

Do you know how many times R. Murdoch has meet in official business meeting with DT (either W.House or in his Mar-a-Lago) well it was 5 or 6 until DT decided to erase all accountability from the public view (now the log of DT agenda is banned from public record...)

... in the Frecnh particular case. Murdoch openly (he doesn't hide it and has been openly transparent about this) doesn't like the French and think France should be quote 'crush' as it goes 'against the anglo-saxon values'. He doesn't really like France or french in general and he is very open and vocal about it.

--> On the EU he really hates the EU and thats why the personally has fund and support Brexit and hard brexit. His media empire has been always block and suffer from expanding in Europe because all those consumer protection rules and anti-trust regulation from the EU (sadly one of the worst cost the UK will suffer from Brexit...no regulation for Media monopolies) .

--> The second factor is that he was humiliated publicly by the UK Labour party a couple of years ago in that massive enquiry on the phone-hack scandal and etc and is his personal revenge to crush Labour from the political view (he is going to do it with the election coming) ...obviously Brexit gives him a free ride and complete monopoly in the UK and now he is in full control of the government too.

In simple words, he will dance with whoever is necessary for his business. His strong personal and business links with Russia right now are just a cherry on top given the circumstances in the UK, US and France with Le Pen...

better you than me..

i may have posted 109.08 it should be 109.091.. on the weekly X2 support may be 107.60ish.. but atm 108.01/108.78 is what i wanted. 109.091 is the closer one.. it's probably more about the close.

anyway i am throwing in 109.79 as a key

A solid day across the board, all on board on this relief rally even the UK got carry as collateral of world equities. US equities lagging in this move but they look set for fresh ATH (S&P for ref) with any soft wind from Trump.

With the lack of macro numbers and with French election chapter 1 cleared. Simple environment for trading this week 'Trade the Tweet, Sell the fact' if the DT tax cuts talk crash in reality against the political, legal and technical 'wall' [pun intended] as its expected with the [or the lack of them] details.

Not much to see or do across the board for today.
