01[11:16] {Threei}  EU is half dead
01[11:16] {Threei}  Euro is stillborn
01[11:17] {Threei}  gold is useless as currency, and can be used as haven play for the disaster scenarion,
01[11:17] {Threei}  but disaster is staved off
01[11:17] {Threei}  meanwhile, world trade goes on,
01[11:17] {Threei}  world currency is needed,

[14:09] {nemo} Qs
01[14:09] {@Threei}  it's when they tag a stop just enough to get us out and immediately bounce back up and proceed to the target when I start switching to Russian
01[14:10] {@Threei}  because you may question Russian contribution to the world history and culture in anything but swearing department
[14:10] {nemo} I don't

01[14:43] {@Threei}  BC Teachers Vote Today on Whether to Approve a Tentative Deal
01[14:43] {@Threei}  The 6 year deal includes a 7.25% wage increase.
[14:43] {nemo} hope they don't, kinda' enjoy the room without the Trotskyite
01[14:43] {@Threei}  many demand to say no since "it doesn't cover inflation rate"
[14:43] {RonS} ...the whole province been on strike, not just Victoria?
01[14:44] {@Threei}  if they reject the deal, I expect them to be lynched
01[14:44] {@Threei}  yes ron
01[14:44] {@Threei}  come on nemo, he is our Trotskyite
[14:44] {nemo} gotta' get the hammer eventually
[14:45] {RonS} wow, who was the rocket scientist that allowed such a construct...
[14:45] {nemo} I have an MBA and degrees in philosophy and advanced mayhem
01[14:47] {@Threei}  "If I wanted, in two days I could have Russian troops not only in Kiev, but also in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw and Bucharest," Mr Putin allegedly told President Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine, reported Süddeustche Zeitung, a German newspaper.
[14:47] {nemo} I read that a couple of weeks ago
01[14:48] {@Threei}  no, that was another remark
01[14:48] {@Threei}  "two weeks to take Kiev"
[14:48] {nemo} AOL nuts
[14:48] {cosmo} I saw some in San Diego once
01[14:48] {@Threei}  Mr Putin's alleged threat bears similarities to remarks he made to Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, in which he warned: "If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks".
[14:49] {cosmo} They were on leave...I think

[15:19] {nemo} Chinese hackers
01[15:20] {@Threei}  good: I received an acess to the server so I will be able to restore the room much faster, since bulk of time was to get them to fix it, with time difference etc
01[15:20] {@Threei}  should take minutes now instead of hours, in cases when it's a hiccup and not complete shutdown
01[15:21] {@Threei}  and majority cases were just hiccups
01[15:22] {@Threei}  but you are right about hackers... website and e-mail was down yesterday for good two hours, massive DOS attack on hosting company
01[15:23] {@Threei}  and ese never went anywhere, he just wasn't able to be in the room with these pickets
01[15:24] {@Threei}  and don't pick on him... think about it: being unionized teacher, musician and married to unionized nurse, he had no chance {G}
[15:25] {nemo} they shoot horses, don't they?
01[15:25] {@Threei}  lol
[15:27] {nathan} gents have fun!
01[15:27] {@Threei}  think ese is bad? here is approximation of a dialog I had with a guy who signed up for a trial and spent in the room about 5 minutes:

01[15:27] {@Threei}  he: where is trading room?
01[15:27] {@Threei}  I: you were right in it
01[15:28] {@Threei}  he: no, you misunderstand. That was chat room. I am asking about trading room
01[15:28] {@Threei}  I: that was trading chat room
01[15:28] {@Threei}  he: why there was no trading then?
01[15:28] {@Threei}  I: here is quote, a call on FB
01[15:28] {@Threei}  you saw it? it wasn't trading??
01[15:29] {@Threei}  he: no, it was something like words. Where was trading?
01[15:29] {@Threei}  to make story short,
01[15:29] {@Threei}  he was looking at his brand new trading software expecting our call to materialize in it
01[15:29] {@Threei}  get it?
01[15:30] {@Threei}  he thought when he connects trading room, our calls will start getting executed in his account
[15:30] {troub} and it doesn't?
01[15:30] {@Threei}  of course it does, he just needed platinum membership :)
[15:31] {_KIKESAN} that's incredible!!

01[15:33] {@Threei}  unless you want 3-4 cents scalp, I don't see the point
01[15:33] {@Threei}  lol ron
[15:34] {_KIKESAN} ok
[15:37] {_KIKESAN} when you say too narrow, what does it mean?
01[15:37] {@Threei}  range in which it moves
01[15:38] {@Threei}  sits for hoirs within 10 cents
01[15:38] {@Threei}  how much of a move can you expect from it
[15:38] {_KIKESAN} without enough volatility?
01[15:38] {@Threei}  whole daily range is that early morning spike, after that it did nothing

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update: : Markets Await Fed Signals and Scottish Vote

European and US stock indices ground lower all week, commodity prices fell and the dollar only strengthened as global markets prepared themselves for next week's Fed meeting. Anticipation is building that the FOMC will make material changes to the way it talks about its policy exit. On Tuesday, CNBC's Fed watcher Liesman said there was a good chance the Fed could alter or drop its "considerable time" language next week, as both hawks and doves have been increasingly critical of "date-based forward guidance" versus an economy-driven policy. In Europe, attention has been squarely focused on the upcoming Scottish independence referendum as for the first time polling data has shifted enough to make a UK break up a distinct possibility. In Japan, the final reading of Q2 GDP showed the measure to be even worse than the first go-round, raising hopes the BoJ may ride to the rescue after all, helping the Nikkei gain 1.5% on the week. For the week, the DJIA fell 0.9%, the S&P declined 1.1% and the Nasdaq slipped 0.3%.

UK financial markets and the pound have been unhinged by poll on the Scotland independence referendum on September 18th. A poll out last weekend put the "Yes" (to independence) camp ahead of the "No" option for the first time, driving a sharp selloff in the pound, banks and energy companies with North Sea operations. Later polls showed the "No" vote ahead, however in each case the "undecided" vote was 10% or more, making it too close to call. If Scotland were to secede, there would be elaborate negotiations to sort out the new nation's currency, how existing debts would be divvied up between Scotland and England, and much else besides. GBP/USD hit nine-month lows around 1.6050 mid-week.

The 10-year yield drifted higher all week, pushing above 2.60% on Friday, its highest level in nearly two months. USTs followed yields higher in Eurozone, while plenty of new supply sparked selling, a setback from the roaring market in 2014. Selling was also driven by jitters about Fed policy.

The ceasefire holds in Ukraine, despite ongoing reports of breaches by both sides. Ukraine President Poroshenko has gone to great lengths to emphasize the need for diplomacy in resolving the conflict with Russia, and even agreed to delay trade sections of EU-Ukraine Association Agreement until the end of 2015 in order to assuage Moscow's feelings. The US and the EU launched a second round of sanctions on Russia, restricting access to its financial markets and punishing various banks and energy companies.

On the commodities front, both gold and oil futures have continued to fall lower this week on a variety of factors. Gold futures fell to the lowest point in eight months this week as continuing improvements in US economic growth plus the strong dollar curbed demand for the metal as a haven asset. But it is the increasing likelihood of higher interest rates that is ultimately cutting gold off at the knees. Over the last month the WTI futures plummeted to eight-month lows around $90.50 as of Thursday from around $98 in early August, driven by the easing of some geopolitical conflicts and renewed dollar strength. WTI fell 1.1% on the week, while Brent has fallen even harder, down 3.7% on the week, dropping below $100 for the first time in about a year.

Apple unveiled its new, larger iPhone 6 and 6+ models and its highly anticipated Apple Watch device this week. The new iPhones have larger 4.7" and 5.5" screens, and as of Friday the large screen model had already sold out online. Reports suggested Apple could ship up to 80M iPhone 6 units by the end of Q4, making for its biggest quarter of sales ever, by a broad margin. The Apple Watch received somewhat mixed reviews, however it will not launch until early next year.

Demand for Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba's IPO was so strong that the underwriters closed their books early and will likely raise the price range to around $70/share from the initial $60-66/share range. The final IPO pricing is expected on September 17th with trading to begin the next day.

The dollar rally continued this week, with the trade's center of gravity shifting from low-yielding to high-yielding end of the currency spectrum. EUR/USD was around 14-month lows after testing 1.2860 on Thursday. EUR/CHF ticked up off the 1.20 floor after the SNB's Moser reiterated that the SNB could implement negative interest rates if the floor was under threat. A weaker Yen supported Japanese markets (Nikkei closed at an 8-month high) with USD/JPY at 6-year highs above 107.35 in the week.

China's August economic data suggested a more benign slowdown than feared last month, diminishing the likelihood of broad PBoC easing. Imports fell for the second consecutive month, but the trade surplus hit another record high of $49.8 billion, well above the $40 billion expected. August new yuan lending was also marginally above consensus at CNY702.5B, alleviating credit sector concerns after July lending fell to its lowest levels since early 2010. August CPI did hit a four-month low of 2.0% and M2 money supply grew at a 5-month low pace of 12.8%, but the PBoC said overall money growth is still within a reasonable range and on track to reach 13.0% target this year.

Japan Q2 final GDP showed an even bigger contraction than initially estimated at -7.1% annualized. Private consumption was particularly soft, falling 5.1% on reduced spending following the April sales tax hike, but the biggest downward revision was seen in corporate capex, which was cut to -5.1% from -2.5%. On Thursday, Bank of Japan governor Kuroda and PM Abe held their first direct meeting in 5 months, boosting speculation that the cabinet will call on the central bank to do more heavy lifting on monetary policy as it faces increased pressure to increase sales tax again next year.
