Waxing lyrical aside, is this not just a wave of post election confidence? Cash just hitting the market that was sidelined pre election. Let’s see where we are end of year.

GBP/USD Daily Forecast – UK Inflation Rates Rebound Sharply Higher in January

That's funny when i first read your post i didn't read that as "winking".

China will start destroying cash collected in areas with high exposure to the coronavirus

....And wrong.

Big Jump In Coronavirus Deaths Coming Up?

A nothing headline. This was out 2 hours before Oil futures closed and oil only continued higher.

OPEC+ close to dropping idea of emergency meeting: Delegates

Was that a question? Repo rate yes Repo, full stop: no. Headline is NOT repo rate

Fed cuts size of Overnight repo operations- BBG

I struggle to disagree with your points. How can I? You've missed my argument though. Decrease the accuracy of diagnosis and number of diagnosis positive patients will jump. That's all that's happened here. Am i making sense yet? Having said all ...

China's Hubei province reports 14,840 new cases on Feb 12

As far as I know this virus will wipe out all humans. But this headline..... be aware that it's just a classification change that caused the jump. That's all. Total madness.

China's Hubei province reports 14,840 new cases on Feb 12

Trying to not get frustrated with the ignorance here. They've changed the classification from pathologically diagnosed to clinically diagnosed. That's a very significant and much looser classification. Of course that would mean a huge jump. Be ...

China's Hubei province reports 14,840 new cases on Feb 12

Not fake news..... oh and here's a link to a website. Lovely stuff. So CharlyNajjar; from that website what do you find particularly alarming? Please expand?

China's Hubei province reports 14,840 new cases on Feb 12

So if you include clinically diagnosed, which means unconfirmed (from pathology) clinical presentations of pneumonia and similar then yes.... guess what the figure goes up a lot. But you are still looking at an increase over what is a tiny ...

China's Hubei province reports 14,840 new cases on Feb 12

The provence has a population not far off the UK's. Isn't that c. 1/1000 have been infected then (using you 60k figure)? I'm just not getting this. It certainly represents an unknown, but the numbers do not point to something as serious as what ...

China's Hubei province reports 14,840 new cases on Feb 12

Such an ugly and purposely deceptive headline. When are these shady news wires going to be held accountable? How much more effort is it to qualify those numbers. Is that 242 in one day? 14840 case in one day? You just know it's garbage.

China's Hubei province reports 14,840 new cases on Feb 12

If my legs were longer I'd be taller.

Fed Powell: will see virus impact in data fairly soon

In which case buy it all right now, no? Moves on rates decisions have a habit of trapping weak hands. Just my experience.

Monetary Policy Statement February 2020

Risk-on, you meant, surely?

Mild optimism grows amid signs that the Coronavirus is slowing

That's the best joke I've heard so far this year

Employment Situation -- January 2020

Unemployment rate could be thought of as the “participation rate”. It drops when the unemployed give up looking. Goes up when when the opposite is true.

Employment Situation -- January 2020

Those that boast.

Coronavirus: 'Significant breakthrough' in race for vaccine made by UK scientists

Sure thing. PS google "tentative". It means uncertain. It's not an epidemiological stage (which i think is how you are using it).

China is said to seek U.S. flexibility on phase 1 trade pledges

Yeah you definitely didn't google tentative. You presented a case that the virus has great potential to mutate into something much worse. I countered that by questioning your rationale, correcting some mistakes and then stating the "potential"[it's ...
