EURJPY: The cross closed on a rejection candle after a failed intra day attempts on the upside. We now look for EURJPY to decline further. This view remains valid as long as it holds and trades below the 135.71/136.33 zone. Resistance is seen at the 135.50 level where a break will turn attention to the […]

Oct 06, 2015 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

This is a stark depiction of underlying stagnation: paid work is not being created as population expands. Heroic efforts are being made to cloak the stagnation of the U.S. economy.

Oct 05, 2015 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

The popular belief that the U.S. economy has been steadily recovering has endured months of disappointing data without losing much of its appeal.
