This Bernanke fellow just lost me a cool amount... Who knew taper would be good news to Mr Market?? d'oh!

Santa rally... Always dread such market cheers. A down move is on the cards likely in Q1. Low likely around March-April.

This is why I highly suspect a sucker rally in Jan/Feb that will trap (bull trap) late comers in many markets.

@Candlesticks

Crucially, the Fed softened the blow by making its forward guidance even more dovish.

"It likely will be appropriate to maintain the current target range for the federal funds rate well past the time that the unemployment rate declines below 6-1/2 percent, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the committee's 2 percent longer-run goal," the Fed statement said.

Alan Ruskin, global head of G10 currency strategy at Deutsche Bank in New York, noted the Fed's forecasts for the funds rate had also been trimmed out to the end of 2016.

"This is a very dovish taper-lite where the Fed has done its utmost to provide an offset with forward guidance," said Ruskin.

"It tends to elevate the importance of the inflation rate in decision making should it be meaningfully undershooting target, which is very constructive for risky assets." http://www.reuters.com/a...al-idUSL3N0JX41R20131219

@hisah with the taper story taking center stage again. I am looking at the KE/USD activity, does it have anything to do with the upped foreign sales. Are we there yet???

Eurobond is the KES saviour if the uptake will be strong. USDKES line in the sand is 87.50/- for bulls while 84 for bears. Break above 87.50 targets 90/- and break below 84 targets 80.

Waiting to see inflation figures going forward with food security alerts already on just like 2011. That eurobond will give CBK ammo to keep CBR tight as well as USDKES locked if they get their loot.

I dread if the eurobond uptake is lukewarm. KES will take it hard in the chin and NSE will feel that effect.

Oops. Missed this query. For KE eurobond is still key. But it's interesting to see NSE chop around (up and down) to nowhere just like most global equities. KE inflation continues ticking up. Current gok wage cut fight paints a gloomy picture as industrial counters continue to release lousy results. If NSE bulls are to take the day, 5200 must be broken up with solid pressure. FTSE KE15 must also break above 180 with force.
I'm defensive in 2014 meaning I'm willing to cut losses faster as a trader.
