So US tariffs are a done deal… what size, shape and on what countries/products are the unknown.

Will Trump & Co look to renegotiate USMCA or use the threat to tighten the border?

The United States, Mexico, and Canada updated NAFTA to create the new USMCA.

Mr. Bessent, the founder of the investment firm Key Square Capital Management, has emerged as a central economic adviser… Unlike many on Wall Street, Mr. Bessent, 62, has also defended the use of tariffs, which are Mr. Trump’s favorite economic tool….NYT

BTCUSD – Bitcoin

High so far 99.804,98 – few bucks short of 100K 😀

So what next ??

Technically speaking , it has more room to go – that upper trend line is at 108.285 right now.

Experience wise : we should see another 2-3 days of blow of rally…

Trading wise – it is about time to cash in on any further rally.

Very simply Yen is in a buy cycle and UsdJpy is not.  I would love to see futures dip again to start next week for another solid entry in spot.  EurJpy is not moving with UsdJpy well and so for that one remains a good sell.  Maybe long term.  You really do benefit from at least paying attention to fundamentals.

Yen options are mixed today all the way out to March.  Nearby is more on the sell side.

Interestingly there was a span of 12 minutes where there was near zero change in the volume of advancing vs declining shares in the Dow before the turn of the hour and one would not think so on a Friday such as this.

Best hope for EURUSD is a slight reprieve as next week is a big holiday one for the US that will make it a 4-5 day holiday for most. So not usually one to add on risk.

Otherwise, talk will likely buid for parity unless 1.0446=1.0500+ is regained.

Moving forward in reverse I have been selling every uphill break in EurJpy all morning and overnight and I think the odds are improving the next one, if there is one, may yield greater returns than 15 pts each.  Maybe in around a half hour.

CME Fedwatch

Odds on a 25 bps Dec rate cut stands 55/45.

If Fed does not cut, it would probably piss off President-elect Trump and his pro growth agenda.

GBPUSD WEEKLY CHART -8 down weeks in a row

EURGBP at .8310 says GBPUSD is being pulled along for the ride by the falling EURUSD.

It has been 8 down weeks in a row so until/unless this pattern changes, it will stay in a sell mode but dependent on EURUSD for direction.

Key focal point is 1.25, solidly below it would be needed to put 1.2444 and the 1.2298 2024 low in play.

1.0220/1.2298 = .,8310

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan

EURUSD MONTLY CHART = BLACK HOLE

I posted yesterday that the downside and 1.0446 were at risk as ;ong as EURUSD trades below 1.05

Well the intra-day high was 1.0498, then 1.0446 was broken but it was hard to call what came next, a plunge into a black hole to a 1.0332 low.

Looking at a monthly chart you can see why 1.0446 was so important and why the black hole creates a void until .9535

This means

No obvious support so use the most recent low. The deck is clear of sell stops until ther 1.0332 low.

Key level on top is 1.0446, trades offered while below it but only 1.05+ would negate the risk to ???

Why the Choice of the US Treasury Secretary is Important for Trading.

I hate writing about politics and only do so to the extent it impacts trading. This is one of hose times when politics (i.e. the US election) has potential to have long range implications for the global economy.so it pays to give it some attention.

The question we should be asking is to what extent President Trump will be looking to implement his campaign promises, especially the more extreme ones.
