Hi Mont & all,

Why the magic number 0.8500? which will causes the carry trade to unwind? Care to explain?

Thank you.

Zerohedge's as ever unique take on this:

"Carry Bloodbath Resumes With Full Blown Liquidations Imminent
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/18/2010 20:22 -0500

"After earlier we saw the decimation of the European currency, it is now Asia's turn where an impressive bloodbath is now raging. The AUDUSD is in freefall, having moved a massive 300 pips from yesterday's high to today's low. At under 50 pips from 0.855, the AUDUSD will likely breach 0.85 at which point the destruction at carry desks will become an epidemic, and full liquidations will soon ensue, coupled with billion dollar margin calls, forcing global asset liquidations at bulge brackets. With the carry collapse pervasive, don't look to futures to stage any miraculous Fed-inspired ramps tonight: Germany may have well called the Fed's bluff. "

magess, gold still uo as it is only perceived safehaven in the face of the sovereign debt damage but LOOK AT SILVER, which is extending lower. so this raises questions abt GOLD. But AUDUSD will continue to find its own way lower to 0.847 then 0.80

Guess what. The deadly cross of AUS/USD is appearing. The 100 MA and 200MA both are crossing now in Daily timeframe. I am wondering why Gold still up and AUS is down.

Looks like a big sell off in Aussie 85.40 and falling ..

Which is better for a long term hold after they hit bottom AUD or CAD ?

I know you really want Ashraf's view, but in the meantime, how about:

- If the stock market really crashes (as some of the gloomier people are saying), how about 0.60?

- If the market shows anything like a real recovery, then maybe we aren't far from the bottom - say 0.8570?

- Give or take anything the RBA might say or do of course.
