As goes oil so goes Russia and vice versa. The russian RTS fell all of last week thus one could supsect some big boys are about to sell crude longs. GS JPM etc. work as contract advisors for Russian oligarch mafiosi.

Gs closed longs WTI today. I have sold my longs in gasoline heating oil and gasoil with nice profit. Last time after GS sold long WTI it continued to drop for months.

Robert J. Shiller gave an interview on French TV yesterday warning that chart analysis will be
misleading in currency and commodities trading. There is no "psychology" at work at all only "zero intelligence" , that is, algorithmic trading.

Paul Volcker is the only central banker who still enjoys credibility. I do not see any value neither in technical nor in fundamental analysis. fx is as manipulated as stock markets, commodities and you name it.

It was the second time after the USDJPY flash crash that unwinding EURUSD shorts met extremly
low liquidity. Thus USDx dropped hard. I think this is serious. The idea some posed that US could default on UST if budget is not approved and debt ceiling not lifted may be not too far fetched. But why would then someone buy Euro? The EFSF/EMF is the same stuff it isn't funded at all. Basically all bailouts were the same as QE under another name, just a kind of security promise, but no capital behind. Only hot air.

USDx is indeed in trouble . Looks like low liquidity in fx. No big moves. I don't think govt shutdown influences USDX although it may turn out bad for economy. Could be Japan another nuclear disaster.

if you understand topology you will understand how the bot works. Bothersome is that an interface for automatic trade entries costs 500 USD per month. Plus 1000 one time charge.

My strength difference trade robot is just a trend follower ... in honor of sub it closed long at 1.4436 and now idles in eurusd .
But fundamentally a rte hike in June/July and more to 1.5% are priced in. USDx suffers somewhat from struggling on debt ceiling. Although it is a proven fact that everything goes well when govt is shut down.

I repeat I am short in Portuguese banks Spanish banks spanish cajas...
Each and every opportunity for Portugal and Spain to become a competitive economy had been
deliberately destroyed by Germany and France. Greece's economy is tourism industry, period.
