AUD/USD Carves Bearish Sequence Following Failed Run At September-High
AUD/USD struggles to retain the advance from earlier this month as the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBA) quarter Statement on Monetary Policy (SMP) highlights a diverging path with the Federal Reserve, and the rebound from the 2018-low (0.7021) may continue to unravel as the exchange rate carves a fresh series of lower highs & lows. AUD/USD […]

The Long Shadows
The news was one of those instances when you could see they were trying a little too hard. It didn’t make any sense, not anyway in the context to which it was delivered. On September 21, unnamed German officials were supposedly championing a megamerger in the banking sector. The country’s two largest financial institutions might […]
The Dow Construction Index Led Stocks By 26 Months In 2006… What Is It Saying Now?
I was one of the few, along with Robert Shiller, predicting that the real estate bubble in the U.S. was getting ready to burst back in late 2005. Home sales had peaked in July 2005. Home prices peaked nine months later, in April 2006. The Fed and most analysts bullshitted that the subprime loan crisis was containable and […]
