At first glance the dramatic Boeing Union demand of a 38% wage increase strikes one as quite extreme. But consider the real inflation rate of ordinary goods and services over time and it might not seem so extremem.
The inflation rate of eggs in November 2020 was 208 compared to 361 in September 2024 with a 39.62% price increase from this time one year ago.
Candy coat inflation all you want to and remind yourself that inflation has been decreasing overall. Those decreases are not based on prior levels, they are based on historic highs. My bet is the Union wins but takes around 30%.

USDJPOY 1 HOUR CHART – CHART SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

Many of you have seen me post charts with my Amazing Trader (AT) charting algo lines on it so here goes again.

4 Things You Need to Know
European bourses are entirely in the green alongside modest strength in US futures following post-earning strength in Amazon/Intel & ultimately outmuscling losses in Apple.
Dollar is firmer, CHF sinks after the region’s inflation data and JPY pares recent strength.

With next week’s U.S. election now dominating thinking, the last two megacap earnings reports of the week appear to have calmed the stock market somewhat and a potentially noisy October payrolls report is up next.
Amazon and Apple got different market receptions to their updates overnight – the remaining two of five “Magnificent Seven” firms reporting this week.
EURUSD 1 HOUR CHART – WAITING FOR NFP

Market is biding its time waiting for the US jobs report,
A sharp price in EURGBP yesterday helped give EURUSD a bid and it has backed off today as the cross eased back.
1.09 should be tough on top, back below 10840-50 would be needed to shift the focus back to 1.08,
Oct NFP:
A weak jobs # is expected following a sharp rise in Sept BUT NFP will likely be distorted by the hurricanes and strikes,
GBPUSD 1 MONTH – NEW MONTH, NEW BALL GAME?

GBP sold off yesterday on a plunge in the bond market (higher yields) and today it seems to be benefiting from the higher yields. So price action suggests month end flows may have been a factor in the ell off.
Whatever the case, it was a straight line move from 1.2999 to 1.2851.
For today 1.2880-85 needs to hold to keep the bid.
On the upside, no resistance other than the day high so treating the move up as a retracement, use FIBOS as possible levels
