Pound was at 1.5150 a few hours ago, and 1.55 a week ago, 1.65 a month ago. Shorting the pound stories are all over Bloomberg, a bunch of investment seminar snake oil merchants are telling the dentists to short, it just puked 470 pips in a morning and it's the #1 topic on elitetrader which normally thinks a pound is something you lose each week on the Atkins diet. If this isn't a successful contrarian trade then being a contrarian is officially the worst trading strategy ever.
Rogers kept saying he would be selling his Dollars when it bounces, not surprised he is exploiting this rally to the full. It's also impossible to judge what the hell his plan is until after the fact. Open card poker anyone?
Easy, long all the way back upto atleast 1.85 and probably 2, although it might take about 9-12 months for this to occur, but occur it will... Get your longs keyed up folks. 9-12 months for 1.85 Could be a tough grind back to 2 dependent upon velocity.
UBS Report The pound may fall below parity with the euro and drop to the lowest level against the dollar since the mid-1980s should the U.K. cut spending too quickly, Mansoor Mohi-Uddin, chief currency strategist at UBS AG, said in a Feb. 24 report. Sterling slid to a nine-month nadir against the dollar last week, trading at $1.52. Zurich-based UBS, the worldâs second- biggest currency trader, predicted it could fall âquickly backâ to $1.05 or below.
