this post is actually quite to the point. let me do some fundamental stuff, which i never do on the weekly threads
a) USD should weaken, yes. but against what?
a.1) the euro.................for me, "the euro is to the dollar what a non-cyclical cash cow is to the stock market :cheesy: "
a.2) the pound.......yeah, right. the UK has more hidden deficits than one can think of. just higher interest rates than euroland hold it. we just need to wait for the market to sniff that, and thats the end of cable. period.
a.3) yen, well probably, disregard carry trade, but we all know japanese policy makers dont seem to care about yen weakness.
b) Pound expensive
b.1) BOE made that statement several weeks ago.
b.2) depends against what. look at EURGBP, at the end of the day, euroland takes about 50% of external trade.
b.2) USD......see above
so, to put it in a kind way, 2006 was the year of the the quid (EDIT: assuming 2006 finished on a Chinese calendar. lol. )
