GBP$ closed the month below 1.35 critical support. Bears in control. Next target is 1.30 then 1.28.

As for euro/£ the rally is misguided. It'll fall like a rock when more nations start walking out of the euro union straitjacket! I don't see any long term euro scenario. This is one currency that will likely seize to exist in a decade's time depending on how fast the fallout unravels!

Both support levels taken out! Focus shifts towards 1.25 then 1.20. GBP still struggling to find a bid post brexit.

EUR/£ testing .86 handle and aiming .90 handle. Madness. One heck of a shorting magnet build up when ECB slips!!!

Nikkei reports that Japan PM Abe is set to order a new economic stimulus package on July 12, while considering additional JGB issuance. Headlines are crossing the screens via Bloomberg. The Japanese Yen has weakened across the board on the news.

Yen weakening, Nikkei already up 4% off this news. Tomorrows Asia session will be one to watch very closely....

If you earn in pounds it's depressing. But the big picture is fantastic for their industries since their goods have become cheap overnight! Exports will boom and stimulate the economy. Over time they'll be able to balance their trade deficit. No longer will they have to rely on EU trade packs, which gives them room to abandon the sinking ship at will.

The game is simple here, buy solid uk equities for sizable gains. FTSE will rocket very soon!

UK MPC votes 8-1 to leave UK interest rate unchanged. GBP gains as FTSE100 drops to an intraday low. Market now repricing a rate cut and stimulus in August.

Coming sessions will be interesting to see how BTD plays come into the market.

Hello my fellow Wazuans,

I've been an ardent follower of this site and finally decided to sign up. I have a question for the forex gurus: which broker do you use to trade in forex? I'm using Alpari but would like to know of other better ones out there.

Most trusted brokers

These days the keyword is trustworthy broker. Those that can survive these uncertain days of huge volatility moves. FXCM almost went bust in Jan 2015 after SNB killed their euro peg on the swiss franc.


Thanks Hisah. I've come to accept that most of these brokers are market makers and the odds are usually stacked against small retail traders.

Eurobond 2.0 out the window. Premium rates will be demanded by the bond market.

Capital flight into the USD is a global trend that KE can't escape.

Which way, austerity to cut gok recurrent budget or print to stimulate the slumping private sector? Election looms so the latter is likely. Inflation will chew KES 'strength'.
