This is why I like the NSE20 discounts. Those FTSE KE NSE indices will turn when the main FTSE index bulls finally start setting new all time highs. The coming rally will be spectacular by 2019.

Thanks for this..

I have not failed to note the co-relation between the FTSE and some specific counters on FTSE KE NSE.. was sure today SCOM would touch and close at a 2-3% high from previous close.

I note the FTSE had the largest volume spike ( more than 4 times the average)on 24th to 27th in more than 3 years..and rebounded
GBP/USD now at 1.3510

Sterling falls sharply after Bank of England governor Mark Carney says "some" easing of monetary policy will be needed "over the summer" and that the BOE can deploy a wide range of instruments. Many analysts expect the BOE will cut interest rates and may opt for further quantitative easing following last week's U.K. vote to leave the EU. GBP/USD falls more than 1% on the day to hit a low of $1.3295 from a rate around $1.3413 just before the speech. Policymakers will make an initial assessment in July and a full assessment in August, Mr. Carney says. He notes that uncertainty over Britain's vote to leave the EU could weigh on the economy for some time, although he warns about negative rates.


Interesting summer ahead.....

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!

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.

It's not short term since the USD will benefit from the euroland panic. Both the euro and pound will definitely devalue to reflect the fallout. Since the euro is tied to EU, if the union crashes so will the euro. This has happened before. Refer to the ERM crisis and won't be the first time the euro currency goes down in flames.

This is why I find the euro rally vs pound being very misguided. The pound will survive. So why dump it to buy the euro, which has no clear future? Sell pounds vs USD makes sense if hedging pound losses. But hedging using euros is a disaster waiting to happen!

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.

Be LONG USDCAD with SL at 1.2828 and target at least 700 pips.
Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

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.

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'.
