Meanwhile the US keeps on keeping on shorting commodities to sucker the Fed on inflation.

Yes Leeds it's termed jawboning...and with the NFP coming in at expectations it leaves everyone guessing here too until jawboning QE (as I am inclined to view it ) points to further evidence of a freeze on further clear direction moves on either side of the pond in deference to the points you made recently on the UK front in terms of comparative advantages...let alone being able to provide a coherent strategy statement which can be therefore clearly understood...;)

I dunno - these yanks and their technology!

Not sure the FCA would look into it though unless they were forced to.

Some pundit would be able to explain markets falling at the weekend when they were closed and blame it on Greece or Quadruple witching Sunday or the global pineapple shortage etc

Different day, same battering for FTSE and banks

Tradejunkie2, you're always spoiling for a fight.

[smurfy2001] 07/8/2015 08:24

I'm hoping for 360p to exit my CFD's. Probably next week.

begorrah88, you're always moaning.

[tradejunkie2] 07/8/2015 08:18

You've got to wonder how long people/insti's will continue to leave a buy order set for the open.

Virtually every day the bots immediately sell down the open regardless of the days expectations etc

The hedgies know it is like taking candy from babies so just set sell bots up from the minute the UK opens.

I'll give you a pre market call for every day - it will open and immediately drop.

[leedskier] 07/8/2015 08:05

So much for pre market calls ...

FTSE100 down 0.29%

[leedskier] 07/8/2015 07:48

cfc1, it better for the maintenance of the happy and relaxed atmosphere on this BB, which marks it out from many others, if I remain silent on that issue.

Is there a plain English version of this?

Bank of England Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent said on Friday that the time
for a first interest rate hike was getting closer as Britain's economic recovery
continues to advance although the central bank still believes it is some way
away.

LONDON, Aug 7 Britain's FTSE 100 index is seen opening 4
points higher, or up 0.1 percent on Friday, according to financial bookmakers.

* The UK blue chip index closed 0.1 percent lower at 6,747.09 points on
Thursday, weighed down by weakness in miners and insurer RSA, though it briefly
rallied off lows after a broadly dovish update from the Bank of England.


* Bank of England Deputy Governor Ben Broadbent said on Friday that the time
for a first interest rate hike was getting closer as Britain's economic recovery
continues to advance although the central bank still believes it is some way
away.

* British starting salaries for permanent jobs rose at the weakest pace in
18 months in July and firms hired staff at the slowest rate in over two years,
according to a survey of recruitment agencies that adds to signs of a cooling
labour market.

* GLAXOSMITHKLINE - GlaxoSmithKline received approval for Breo
Ellipta for the treatment of adults with asthma.

They have basically got anything they wanted for years for just doing a basic job.

They earn more than Doctors and many professionals in most Countries including the UK.

They don't know a good thing when they've got one.

The tube guys are making a big mistake, playing into the gov's hands.

They have ignored history, and now gives this gov the perfect excuse to smash them once and for all....in the interests of the downtrodden travelling public of course.


Think: Miners, print workers, closed shops in general.
