Ex-Fed chair Ben Bernanke finds ‘significant shortcomings’ in Bank of England’s economic forecasting
LONDON (AP) — A review of the Bank of England’s economic forecasting that was published Friday and undertaken by Ben Bernanke, the former chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve, has found “significant shortcomings” that should be addressed to better inform future interest rate decisions.

Following widespread criticism about the Bank of England’s forecasts, Bernanke was tasked last year to review the forecasting models.

Though noting that all central banks have had problems over the past few years as a result of a series of economic shocks, notably the coronavirus pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis heightened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Bernanke said the Bank of England’s issues were made worse by out-of-date software that had not been properly maintained.

The review said that “insufficient resources have been devoted to ensuring that the software and models underlying the forecast are adequately maintained.” … blablabla

Glad you liked it SF. These guys sometimes get a little deep into the geo political but this particular episode I thought they did a really good job of transitioning from the geopolitical to the macro case to cash flow….

one would have to be somehow handicapped not to see the DLR romping and rampaging accorss the boad (except maybe vs the yen)

as players are likely gaming a few energy vectors:
– goodly yield spread
— eyeballing and anxiously re-pricing FED gang miscalutations about inflation bumps
— GOLD continues to look uP (i.e. good) as is energy in form of oil

some thanks has to go to wild media headlines about harsh diplomacy between Israel and Iran for at least some portion of players running into dlrs thinking “haven”.

EURUSD 1h

As you can see from the chart, we had a second leg down today, so one prolonged move.

We need to rebound to at least 1.06850 and even 1.07050 , and still will be in Down mode.

Support comes at 1.06150.

Keep in mind that it is Friday, so trading interest is fading fast.

I am going to prepare some rules and tips on how to follow my trades /ideas over this weekend.

Probably will write the whole article, so everyone can go slowly over it and be ready for things to come J

I have to do lots of accounting for my wife (her company) , and if I don’t …well you know how it goes

I’ll be around later tonight as well…

Ok I hope everyone enjoyed Monedge yesterday lol.  Back to business.  Could use some calls from you Bobby.  I am spread in every major and a few minors,basically long dollar, could use input on levels like Jy just did, lets make sure I don’t lose money today.  My first mistake was watching Christina Aguilera videos while trading, and because I literally was a fighter, a real fighter, like in the ring, I was trading and watching “Fighter” by Christina while trading and got too darn emotional lol.  So sitting on multiple positions, can give levels it needed lol.  Green almost across the board.  Its getting easy.

GPBUSD WEEKLY – UNCHARTERED TERRITORY AS WELL

I had to go to a weekly chart to find key levels following the 1.2499 break (now resistance).

As long as it stays below 1.25, risk is down. With a void of nearby supports, look for 1.2450 to be pivotal.

Of interest, shirt JPU crosses are being unwound, which is one soiurce of USD demand oither than vs USDJOY, which is a touch lower.

FRANKFURT, April 12 (Reuters) – Economists are sticking to their view that inflation in the euro zone will fall to 2% and stay there, a European Central Bank poll showed on Friday, in comforting news as the ECB prepares to cut interest rates.

The ECB’s latest Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF) put inflation at 2.4% this year and 2.0% in 2025, 2026 and in the longer term — unchanged from the previous round of the poll three months earlier.

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

With markets now re-shuffling central bank rate cut calendars, attention switches abruptly to the first quarter U.S. corporate earnings season on Friday – against a backdrop of an alarming swoon in China trade last month and rising Middle East tension.

EURUSD – 1.06000 is the target .

Roughly range is 1.07400 – 1.06000

[GVI Forex 2]

Unchartered water trading where support is a guess

EURUSD broke through 1.0650 after a brief pause. If the break holds, 1.0600-20 would be the next pivotal zone.

If not, 1.0650+ would slow the risk.

how about propaganda ( not just psychological, sociological, ethical, and political dimensions )
— but especially “formation of mens’ attitudes” (Jacques Ellul).

Isn’t it a dilemma –

Cut rates because of falling inflation => weak euro => increases inflation
