Interesting idea. Let's entertain it for a while. Could you describe in more detail how that would work within the broader context of the common market?

Johnson: 'Confident' EU will show flexibility

This is totally illogical once you think more on it. Unless he is a suicidal psycho, what would he gain from such a thing? And why on EU's behalf? Continental EU26 and the ~700 million people living therein want to take on a legacy off-shore ...

Johnson: 'Confident' EU will show flexibility

If that goes on as you described it, then EU has absolutely no incentive to negotiate with Tory party. EU objectives are met. Irish Peace is preserved, The Common market's integrity is assured. The Brexiteer snake is purged out of EU once and for ...

Johnson: 'Confident' EU will show flexibility

Why don't you tell us, bones?

Johnson: 'Confident' EU will show flexibility

You're welcome.

Johnson: 'Confident' EU will show flexibility

Even though I am on the EU side, I can try. As far as I understand the issue, the backstop is designed to ensure the Irish Peace will be preserved by avoiding hard border between RofI and NI. While both RofI and UK are part of EU, it happens ...

Johnson: 'Confident' EU will show flexibility

Those will be mostly of interest to historians trying to put together an account of the events for posterity. Once there is a full internet cutoff from HK, as you suggest, the panic on the financial markets will be gruesome. And the political ...

China is mobilizing internally to fight firmly with the US

The videos of HK protests showed a very large number of protesters using phones and dedicated cameras to capture the events. If this eventuality comes to pass, we won't have just one tank man photo to go by.

China is mobilizing internally to fight firmly with the US

I do not argue with any of this. It is just as you say. However, I support Trump administration's (emphasis on administration) tough line on PRC, in fact I think it is hopelessly late. I also believe Trump is uniquely incapable of leading it to a ...

China is mobilizing internally to fight firmly with the US

PRC is the biggest economy on total PPP basis only. On absolute scale, USA and the European Common Market are larger. On per-capita PPP basis, PRC is way behind not only these two, but Japan as well. The elefant in the room is the qualitative ...

China is mobilizing internally to fight firmly with the US

I've posted the link to the fact check site. There everyone can take a look and make up their own mind. The answer to both questions is yes.

Fed Rate-Cut Dissenters Cite Strong Employment, Financial Risks

That long litany posted above by Vancarbon has long been circulating the internet, going viral to the point where it has been officially fact checked. See: url Particularly one item in it that is quite relevant to trading (albeit not forex/CFD ...

Fed Rate-Cut Dissenters Cite Strong Employment, Financial Risks

RMB is not free floating, it has never been. The hard peg was simply replaced with a soft peg where there is a band of +/-2% deviation from the fixing rate. And the peg now is not solely on the dollar, but on a trade-weighed basket of currencies of ...

PBoC: China Does Not Manipulate Currency

The biggest mistake Trump did was to exit TPP just out of spite for Obama. He campaigned on that (like with Iran) and then publicly tore it apart in a show designed to please his voter base, without realizing he was giving up a powerful tool ...

China fires biggest warning shot yet in trade war and now it's up to Trump to decide how far...

Xi's agenda is maintain CCP's monopoly on political power and his own power over CCP by all means necessary. "Reform" is one of the means to that end.

"On A Scale Of 1-10, It's An 11" - Wall Street Reacts To China's Retaliation

NYSE is for equities only - stocks, exchange traded funds and exchange traded notes. Futures are traded on Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Forex and CFDs trading does not take place on any exchange, so it is called "over the counter".

NYSE floor traders are facing job extinction

Nice summary of up to 1992. If one puts charts to timeframe "MN" and then compresses the data until all monthly candles are shown (on my broker that is all the way to 1997), one can get a great view of what happened after. It puts the July GBP drop ...

Not so sterling: a history of UK currency crises

In my opinion ESMA has done the right thing to limit the leverage. If you think huge leverage is great, you may want to ask what Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers think about it. 30:1 or 20:1 leverage is plenty. If you cannot make profits with it, I ...

Johnson refuses to meet EU leaders unless they scrap backstop

The matter of the HK law is entirely different, and the above statement is a gross misrepresentation. HK already has own extradition agreements with 20 jurisdictions, noone has protested against those. In HK legal system, extradition towards other ...
