Americans’ urge to shop is overriding anxiety about the economy.





While household-sentiment measures are at levels typically observed during a recession, an increase in spending during the third quarter boosted growth to the highest level of the year, Commerce Department figures showed Oct. 27.

Retail Trader Positioning 31st October – USDJPY Intervention!





We ended last week with 88%+ of USDJPY traders long and wrong for many months now.

We expect this trend to continue but its important to note that past interventions haven't done a whole lot to stem the tide.
