Rolled VIX at a 1k loss. this market is utterly insane. amazon rose in 1 hour over 200x actual earnings. May start to scale in small short positions on UK/EU indexes

everything means that this is fixing itself and will be above £3 next year :)

Maxk - we were told that by the chief brexiteer economist (now there's a contradiction in terms) before the referendum.

edit: re post 148988.

The selling into the €U is not going to change, or at least not much.

Unless of course they go for the nuclear option, which amounts to suicide (MAD)


btw, thank you for that graph, I'm going to post it on the gold thread.

Cheap £ boosts exports.

edit

And we can still sell into the EU.

We were told UK manufacturing was going down the toilet cos of brexit.

Market seems underwhelmed by Standard Chartered Bank's update & numbers - down 7.2% at 715p!

UK factory growth accelerates

Breaking! UK factories grew faster than expected last month, thanks to a surge in new orders.

Data firm Markit reports that manufacturing output and new order growth remained robust in October, suggesting that the weak pound is helping factories.

UK Manufacturing beats consensus at 56.3.

Which may provide further support along with the housing data earlier this morning for the interest rate rise this month.

Is that why the indices are pulling back?

And or the Budget.

I suspect that the contents of that will include measures to replenish the depleted Treasury coffers. Alternatively an acknowledgment that the PSBR will not be reduced any time soon.

It's as thought it's a cert...


Nationwide has paved the way for an across-the-board increase in mortgage costs by announcing that a 0.25% interest rate rise would be passed on in full to its 600,000-plus variable-rate home loan customers.

The building society said that if, as is widely expected, the Bank of England lifts the base rate by 0.25% to 0.5% on Thursday, it would increase both of its variable rates by 0.25%.

[smurfy2001] 31/10/2017 13:19

I guess the markets are waiting on interest rate news before the next climb up.

[leedskier] 31/10/2017 13:03

The week after the UK clock changes are invariably weird. This maybe because NY does not switch from Summer time until a week later and the market overlap is an hour longer.

[leedskier] 31/10/2017 08:25

maxk, I wondered about that too,

FTSE100 lifted by BP.

7,503.36 +15.55 (0.21%)

Yeah, wonder if he tried to broker that deal like he he may have done with LLOY and HBOS!

[maxk] 31/10/2017 07:54

So why didn't he (broon) jail some banksters, he had the means to do so.

Gordon Brown has said the failure to put guilty bankers in prison after the financial crash has paved the way for further gambling with public money.

The former Prime Minister said rogue executives should have been jailed, lost their bonuses and had their assets confiscated and warned that “little has changed” since the global financial crisis in 2008.
