After the worst January for precious metals in two decades, investors still have a $102 billion bet on higher prices, hoarding more gold than all but four central banks and more silver than the U.S. can mine in almost 12 years…..per Bloomberg

HIGH RISK WARNING: Foreign exchange trading carries a high level of risk that may not be suitable for all investors. Leverage creates additional risk and loss exposure. Before you decide to trade foreign exchange, carefully consider your investment objectives, experience level, and risk tolerance. You could lose some or all of your initial investment; do not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. Educate yourself on the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial or tax advisor if you have any questions.

David I’m sorry for the joking. When I look@ the eur/usd vs eur/jpy spreads. Also The strength of GDP vs USD as a proxy risk trade. Best wishes all. Still stuck in Port Douglas until Wednesday. Trade well.
Hi, I would like to add a question in the QNA stack.
How can a retail trader get implied probs for rate hikes (BOE, ECB, FED, RBA, BOC)? I noticed sometimes various options and futures are used for computation and sometimes swaps like EONIA and SONIA…is there a preferred method that the market cares about for the banks above? How do we compute prob for next rate hike? First fully priced in?
I am a huge fan of the QNA section and FOREXLIVE in general, you guys are stars! If you can tackle this question I will forever be in your debt, thanks.
Hi Tradrt, in essence the market mostly takes the implication from the futures market and indeed the surveys are usually based on priced-in futures and the analysts’ overall views. The consensus is generally correct
David, is there a place where I can view these implied probs, website etc..? Or would I have to learn how to compute them myself?
Hi Tradrt, let me think about that and revert….sorry for delay I was doing the wrap
np: Your help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! If something comes to mind and you get a chance please post it in the QNA.
Thanks a million, you guys rule.
