Harry’s Charts of the Day
FOMC & CB BS – WTH?
With the BOJ last night and FOMC today there is likely to be significant market turbulence even with the likely net announcements not amounting to much. The Fed will reveal today where rates will remain at almost nothing, or be raised to slightly more than almost nothing, and while it’s a little hard to see why that should be particularly interesting, the markets will be watching that carefully nonetheless. Trade safe!
I’ve already done two webinars today so I’m going to save myself some time today by using the premarket video and charts that I did this morning for Daily Video Service subscribers at theartofchart.net. I’ve been doing the charts every morning there for a while but have recently added the video and that is being incorporated into the Daily Video Service next week, by which time we will have settled on a likely new name for the service that is a bit more catchy. The service also includes Stan’s post market update video and the private twitter feed which is updated during regular trading hours
Kuroda Muffs It…….Again
Haruhiko Kuroda is clearly the Dennis Gartman of the central banking world.
Last night (based on the time zone in this once-great republic of the United States), the news came out that although Japan wouldn’t be making interest rates even more negative (yes, this is the topsy-turvy world we live in…….more negative) they would be introducing “yield control”, whatever the hell that means.
After a few moments of initial panic, the market liked what it heard and did precisely what Kuroda wanted: bid the US dollar up mightily versus the Japanese Yen.
