Extremely low liquidity tonight on the EURUSD, even for a Monday.

Single trade for the day was a long on the EURUSD, exited at 1:1 R on expectations of small moves, price managed to jump another R after a retrace though. I'm not comlaining, considering the crappy liquidity.

Starting to look pretty distributiony on the hourly chart there. Time for a relief rally in the USDX?

From what I can see it is real money doing the selling and specs trying to get back into their carry trades. So probably it'll go until it doesn't anymore. Obviously any USD strength in the face of this kind of AUD weakness is going to do some serious damage.

I've been trading EURUSD tonight and seeing the same signs as I saw in the AUD market today, definitely looks like there just aren't any bids for EUR around.

The week so far...

If we analyze emerging markets it's been fairly violent and extreme during last couple of days. Emerging market currencies, stocks and bonds suffered a fierce sell-off on Tuesday.

Both The Brazilian real and South African rand touched four-year lows against the US dollar on Tuesday. The Indian rupee fell to a record low. Even countries like the Philippines and Mexico have been hit by heavy selling. Some central banks have begun to intervene to control the currency slides. If I am correct The FTSE Emerging Markets index fell 1.7 per cent on Tuesday.

We have to accept USD dollar was underperforming against some currencies both hard and soft currencies such as NZD, AUD, and Indian rupee due to over speculations. As I said before it has become bull currency now. In other words the dollar (USD) has entered a multi-year bull cycle. USD is number one reserve currency in the world.

As I said every asset has cycles. We have to identify this cycles before others. Both NZD and AUD have appreciated more than 50% against some south Asian currencies during last five years. Now cycle has reversed and both NZD and AUD should depreciate not only against USD but also some emerging and frontier markets currencies in Asia. Few Asian currencies including India rupee will go up against NZD, AUD and CAD in the coming quarters. They will go down against USD. On the other hand USD will appreciate not only against emerging currencies but also against currencies such as AUD, CAD and NZD.

We can expect some volatility in some assets. Today Indian rupee and their market and Korean won down. In commodity market both Gold and Corn down.

It is time to do serious research on stocks, markets, currencies and commodities. There will be some of the best life time opportunities in global markets. Always there will be bull market somewhere. Lower currency rate in some countries will benefit their export companies in the coming months. Lower raw material cost will benefit some companies globally.

In short I am bullish on selected commodities, selected sectors, USD, some markets including few frontier markets. In the medium term I am bullish on Asian currencies against CAD, AUD and NZD. New development will have positive effects on some sectors in Australia and New Zealand. There will be life time opportunities in global markets including emerging markets and frontier markets in the coming months.
