Aussie posts largest retail overshoot in the last 3 years, 2 mins later Williams news for 3 rate hikes. AU falls dramatically, EU barely phased and even gains.

Something is not right with these tweets and the corresponding market moves..

Yep something is wrong , especially with the dollar flows against euro* , algos seem to pick the slightest bad news on dollar ignoring all positive news on the way . Euro pump and dump above 1.10xx in general is suspicious now that we are so close to ECB/FED combo . Waiting patiently as usual ...

I must admit yesterdays month end flow has been different from what i have experienced. USD has been sold on every occasion while Eur didnt sell off strongly apart from 1.1268 top and failed retest last week. (and of course fake news on greece for drop to 1.111) , just attracted fresh buyers in strength on the last day of the month before summer...

Month close around 1.1243 makes it more tricky now, is MT changing outlook soon? Im not so good with that but with ECB next week the Eur prepositioning looks to be building up for pop north soon, with NFP tomorrow.

Although the current top looks to be contained now, the potential for Eurusd substantial drop looks to be slimmer.

Small short for me soon once 1.125x is rejected by london open

It's because Chinese PMI for May went below 50. China means too much to Aussie.

What will happen at 3:00 PM (NY time) Thursday when DJT announces he will pull the US out of the Paris accord?

What will happen at 3:00 PM (NY time) Thursday when DJT announces he will pull the US out of the Paris accord?
In order of impact and importance:

--> For the environment, your children and grandchildren future: A complete disaster beyond repair.

--> For Foreign Policy: US will have the shiny batch of joining the selective club of 2 countries (Nicaragua and Syria) in the ENTIRE planet to ride alone for strictly political & dogmatic reasons. US will confirm is NO longer a trustworthy global leader, we'll start talking about the new world order (US, Russia oligarchs, a select group of rich Muslim Kingdoms, a bunch of autocratic/dictator states [Philippines and Sudan] and the rest). anti-Americanisms will reach new high never seen before....etc

--> For Politics: Just adding to the randomness and third world country management style of DT administration. More chaos, contradictions and isolation ...nothing new really.

--> For Market and Economics: Very little in the very ST, important impact in the MT (via retaliation and compensations) and potentially huge impact in the LT (via economic sustainability ). For the actual knee jerk reactions, etc. Very little expected. Polluting and dirty industries (almost all of them sleeping with DT) will get myopic benefits in the ST, trading wise, digging deeper inner correlation within the accords you can find a handful of companies to ride a soft leg on the back of the news.

Would somebody share his look on XTI? For me ST soft sell, just jumping around flip 48.4 waiting for momentum around 47 and TP 45 with lower extensions. MT I'm not completly sure, so I assume neutral with flip +-45. But current uncertain situation pushing up and US using reserves (or stronger production?) pushing down keeps price meddling around.

Trump has already been gutting climate friendly policies enacted by Obama, so the Paris Accord dump will be mostly symbolic - but I think in this case the symbolism will outweigh prior facts, because it will just drive home the larger fear that the protectionist/isolationist & simply moronic tendencies of the Trump govt will outweigh any hoped-for positive effects from tax reform and fiscal stimulus, etc.

With NFP coming in the following pre-market though, maybe not so much of an effect at Thurs close, but if there be a weak NFP print Friday, I would expect red equities then...
