Chloe, very well said about Bernanke's green light for USD selling.

Here is what I said in my piece yesterday, which sums it up succinctly for now.

The contrasting monetary policy picture involving a tighter ECB/BoE/RBA relative to the Feds continued quantitative easing remains the main driver to the USDs downfall. Any periodic reverberations regarding peripheral Eurozone debt concerns, equity market pullbacks disappointing earnings have proven -- and will likely to continue proving an opportunity buy the dips in EURUSD, AUDUSD, gold and silver.


But I wouldnt agree with you about uninterrupted USD declines for another 3-6 months. I think June-July should see some kind of USD correction...the question is: will it be a rebound of more than 5?

@Chloe Im not shorting CL with real conviction (intra day scalps 15-30pips etc)....if anything best to play the range i mentioned few days earlier and buy the huge sell offs we are seeing once the Hedge fd algos get turned on ( abt 1.30-3.30pm london time)

On a side note there is large cluster of resistance around 114.10-20 region so you cd look for a short there as we will be getting there very soon (DX, SI and GC pointing higher prices)

Dave - I heard the same abt soros liquidating commodity posns and that margins on CL futures had been hiked. Either way some truly crazy moves in CL recently...Those stop hunting algos are running stops up and down. Been beastly to trade recently

It fell well short of 100% symmetry target on the 60 min correction down.
