Same as Saturday.

US President Barack Obama said on Saturday that the draft budget he is set to present on Monday will help the government (whose annual deficit averages $1 trillion) start "living within its means," the NY Times reported over the weekend.

According to the draft budget for 2012, the deficit this year should reach an all-time high of $1.6 trillion. - the highest on record, as the extension of tax breaks in December has already cut into federal revenues, the WSJ noted. Last month, the Congressional Budget Committee projected that the deficit would reach $1.48 trillion from $1.3 trillion a year earlier.

Another WSJ article suggests that U.S. economic growth this year should reach its highest level since 2003, thanks in part to higher spending by consumers and companies. Many economists have raised their forecasts as recent figures reflect an increase in willingness to buy.


The highs since 2003 are hard to believe. Are you holding a buy?

Looks like it:

 
That's it for today, the options have moved, but the move prevails upwards. I'm off to bed.

The high from 2003 is hard to believe. You got the buy in?
You betcha!
 

Is there a Big Call at 1.3457 by any chance ???

if there is then i'm afraid we can touch 1.34...


 

I like Dudley's performance better:

2011.02.14 17:04:24 *Dudley: The economy is healthier, but you can't call it healthy

2011.02.14 17:56:04 PM Fed-New York President Dudley: The current economic situation is unsatisfactory

2011.02.14 18:22:27 *Dudley: The government's austerity measures are a negative factor for growth

 
I have another impulse down on m15 and m30

So Obama's speech isn't exactly bullish on the quid's growth either.
 
Tantrik:

The down-correction (in general the EUR is rising globally) has not finished with the targets 1.3430 or 1.3270. I think the maximum would be 1.3320 and then 1.44. Maybe according to the blue variant it will go to 1.3640 (correction in correction - that is what it is called.)

Hi, so many profits you have written here (each one is a thousand quid!) Forecast p1679 is in force, first target 3430 is taken. will break 3550, will go up (what I doubt)

I am looking at 1.3544, but there is also 1.3602, there is a weekly pivot there as well. We wait.
