October 9, 2020 | Limits To Monetary and Fiscal Policy Methinks…

“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.” ― Dante Alighieri I presented the following chart below during showing the nasty feedback loop of rising debt and weak global demand during a webinar back in 2015 (and had developed the diagram a few years […]

August 21, 2020 | EUR/GBP Chartview – 240-Min and Weekly…

What if the pound outruns the euro as the US dollar breaks down? Given the extreme long positioning in the euro, measured by CME currency futures, and the negative positioning as of last Friday for the pound despite its rally, out-performance of the pound would not surprise. I.E. there is a lot of positive sentiment […]

August 4, 2020 | Gold: Parabolic Financial Speculation, But Not Inflation!

Gold is in parabolic mode. Everyone loves it. Inflation and safe haven and the end of the dollar are the rationales. 1) This is not inflation. If it were, corn (green line overlaid) and all the other real stuff would be blowing off. It isn’t. 2) This is not the end of the dollar yet; […]

July 31, 2020 | Norwegian Krone: Backdoor Way To Play Euro and Oil Weakness?

USD/NOK has a tight negative correlation with the euro. And as suspected, the currency is also impacted by oil prices. We suspect oil goes lower given the dismal demand in the real economy. Below a look at USD/NOK with EUR/USD (inverse) overlaid and our Wave view on oil. Oil (WTI) Daily:

July 2, 2020 | The Case For The British Pound

Though I think it best now to get past the non-farm payroll reaction tomorrow, the British pound is looking increasingly interesting as a long trade and a long-term hold based on the potential, we see in our Wave charts and the potential for a fundamental realignment of the their economy triggered by Brexit; i.e. unshackled […]

May 1, 2020 | US Dollar Index Daily View

Dollar Index Daily View – Looking lower…but, alternative still in play as it represents another dollar risk-bid on a big sell-off in stocks (as abstract as such an idea may be to the bulls at the moment; the narrative–money must go somewhere). 0 Likes

April 18, 2020 | Drivers For a Multi-Year Decline in the US Dollar into Focus

I just wanted to comment a bit more on our current macro theme as it relates to credit markets and its impact on the longer-term dollar path. As you know I’ve been suggesting it is the credit market that is key to the US dollar’s path at least intermediate-term (months) and is likely the trigger […]

April 13, 2020 | Still Stuck in the Debt-Demand Feedback Loop….The Great Deflation

Below is a slide I shared at a presentation back in 2015 as the real economy was supposedly healing after the credit crunch.  My point was we were indeed showing some progress, but from a macro standpoint we were still stuck in an ugly debt-demand feed-back loop; i.e. relying on increasing amounts of credit and […]

April 3, 2020 | What’s Holding Up The Pound?

The euro has been battered over the last four trading days, but the pound has held up nicely against the US dollar (see EUR/GBP chart second below). Why? Not sure. But we do believe the pound is set to turn down and we are looking for at least a couple hundred + pip decline, with […]

February 12, 2020 | EUR/USD Daily View: A Bottom in Place? Maybe

We have been tracking for a while–since November 2019–the possible irregular flat correction pattern, whereby Wave (b) exceeds the beginning of Wave (a) and Wave (c) carries lower than Wave (a), as you can see in the chart below.  An extension for Wave (c) as a percentage of the Wave (a) in this type of […]

December 31, 2019 | Major Pairs Summary

December 18, 2019 | EUR/USD Hourly: One more push lower near-term?

Have we traced out A-B and have C down to follow?  We still like this setup after a test of our stop level at 1.1179.  Note the minor Wave [a] is equal in length as minor Wave [c] into the 1.1175 high.  Looking lower; targeting to 1.1086 in Wave C.

December 6, 2019 | Tight Correlation: If you like stocks short; then you should like USD/JPY short

USD/JPY (black) vs S&P 500 Stock Futures (purple) 240-min: A fairly tight positive correlation. A further correction lower in stocks likely means USD/JPY follows.

October 13, 2019 | Chart View: Why China’s Currency will not be Weaponized…

Quotable “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.’ –Lao Tzu                                                     Many analysts have been predicting China will “weaponize” its currency; i.e. push it sharply lower against the US dollar as punishment for US trade “aggression.”  On first blush, this sounds sensible.  But I don’t believe it aligns with what China is trying to […]
