AUTOREFRESH 













It fits best if worn wet.
hopefully she will send a picture )
forexlive chief economist + model ?
mmmh Jamie maybe your seat is at risk
I think we might have some come back in the old forex/assets correlation..
Cheg you mean eurusd inverse correlation as before december?
Now we would like a in depth analysis from Mary of what to expect post figures, and a pic…
Eur/usd up with stocks and commo. as traders will guess liquidity is here to stay and good for “risk” trades. Prefer to wait a good hour after WS opens, but these are thougts at the moment.
awright you letches, easy on my chief economist…
It looks that reflation trade model is not working. Stocks and currencies relations are not significant. The tie between currencies and comm. remains intact.
Not a surprise it is not working. it didn’t work in Japan, won’t work in the US, the Uk or anywhere else…
You cannot reflate an economy on the long run only by offering credit for people to consume smtg that is produced elsewhere. Until now we all know whose winning big time, the soon to become the number one economy in the world, thanks to their currency manipulation.
The reflation trade model works- but it takes time. ’06/’07 inverted yield curve predicted the current recession. The current steep yield curve will lead to a recovery. When things are good, people never think they’ll get bad again; when things are bad, people never think things will get better. But the business cycle is always with us… There were doomsday people 20 years ago, when Clinton took office, 30 years ago when Reagan took office after the oil shocks, 40 years ago when Nixon bailed on Bretton Woods, etc etc etc. This too shall pass…
Sorry for the late reply, I’m a little under the weather this morning, so no pic!!
Thanks for the sticking up for me Jamie, and your job is not at risk, I am a forex day trader, the last thing I want is a job. Who knew that thinking so negative about the dollar would pay off so well.
My first order as chief economist…………buy low, sell high!!!!
Would someone at forexlive please remove cheg’s first comment….Thank You
about the market analysis ? (because the wet thing is not my comment Mary..)
Hehe, mind your dirty talk about assets Cheg.
