FED Vs CHINA INFLATION CONTROL???

Firstly, China has used false statistics and internal manipulations of at least some of its data so that it cannot predict well the future course of its economyBASED ON THOSE STATISTICS. It was blessed by western countries big companies know-how and use , and western demands for cheap goods. That world is changing, and mega-debts will crush it as inflation roars back (which always comes back at some point).

The FED, has not been able to control inflation and is usually behind the markets moves in rates. All the justifications and the belief by many that the FED is god almighty, that it s able to control inflation is once again proving to be incorrect. No doubt the FED will attempt to say it will be resolute in handling inflation. WHEN, we have run away inflation that BEGAN with the upward moves in commodities since over a year ago? Also, wage increases (which by the way is an aggregate figure, but most employees do get that rise) are NOT the problem that economists and Bankers think it is.

MISSED ARE THE PRIMARY CAUSES and too heavy a focus on microscopic analysis and the unconscious  assumptions that all companies are running with good house keeping, which for many, IS NOT the case.

AS IN PAST BOOMS AND BUSTS PROFESSIONALS WILL FIGURE FIGURE WHAT WENT WRONG AND WHAT THEY THINK WERE THE PROBLEMS. They currently think badly run companies which crash financially should be subsided one way or another and saved --  lame ducks sucking resources and getting rewarded for their wrong actions, WHILST those who were not the cause nor responsible will be indirectly footed the bill (via government subsidies, hence the public having to pay it via tax rises down the road)..

WITH HINDSIGHT ALL CAN SAY "WE SHOULD HAVE DONE XYZ" BUT CAN THEY FIND THE CORRECT WHY NOW FOR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM BEFORE, AND SOLVE IT ??? If they can then the PROBLEM WILL SOLVE, AND ONLY THEN.

THAT IS THE BIG IF.

NOTE:

Historically, all civilisations and empires that once existed fell or were destroyed primarily due to huge debts and inflation. Then wars pulled the final curtains. But who understands such vital or its significances in the current scenarios? HISTORY HAS A LOT TO TEACH FOR THOSE WHO CAN HEED PAST MISTAKES.

Same wave-length as me - most people listen to the mouth pieces rather than figuring it all out for themselves and then they wonder why they can't win at trading, Investing etc

    • Hi @KoketsoIG, Thanks for investigating margin requirements in another thread. Could you kindly check with the relevant team what overnight credit (column swap bid in platform watchlists) was applied for short USD/TRY positions at the end of the trading day on Thu, March 14? WBR
    • Corn Elliott wave analysis   Function - Trend  Mode - Impulsive  Structure - Impulse Wave  Position - Wave 2 in progress Direction - Upwards for wave 3 Details -  A break below 434 means wave 2 is taking a lower leg for an expanding flat and could enter 423-415. Not much has changed since the last update.   In the intricate world of commodities trading, particularly in the realm of corn prices, the Elliott wave theory offers a compelling lens through which we can analyze recent movements and anticipate future trends. As of the time of crafting this analysis, corn prices have embarked on a retracement journey following a notable surge of over 12% witnessed between the dates of 26 February 2024 and 12 March 2024. Presently hovering below the $430 mark, indications suggest a continuation of this pullback trajectory, potentially dipping below the $420 threshold. However, amidst this temporary setback, glimmers of optimism emerge from the shadows, hinting at a forthcoming resurgence echoing the momentum initiated on 26 February, when prices bottomed out at $394.   To fully grasp the potential trajectory of corn prices, let's delve into the historical context provided by the Elliott wave theory. In April 2022, corn traded at a robust $814, albeit falling slightly shy of its peak in 2012 at $846. From this pinnacle, the price embarked on a tumultuous descent, plummeting to $394—a staggering 52% decline within approximately 22 months. Within this tumultuous period, the market completed three distinct swings, painting a picture of either an impulse or a simple A-B-C pattern.   Should the former scenario hold, the completion of the third wave suggest a forthcoming minor bullish correction, potentially manifesting as the fourth wave. Conversely, in the latter scenario, a bullish correction remains probable, if not an outright impulse upside. In either case, the prevailing sentiment leans towards a bullish reaction, with the path of least resistance indicating at least a three-wave bounce. This sentiment gains traction with the inception of sub-waves within the broader blue wave A, emanating from the $394 low.   Zooming into the H4 timeframe, we discern the intricate dance of waves unfolding before our eyes. The completion of wave 1 within the blue A wave sets the stage for the ongoing progression of wave 2, poised to carve its path within the 424-413 zone before pivoting upwards for wave 3. Uncertainties loom, as we await confirmation of wave 3's commencement, signaled by the breach of the $445 pinnacle.   In this tapestry of market dynamics, opportunities abound for astute traders poised to capitalize on the unfolding patterns. With the potential for blue wave A to ascend to lofty heights of $500, buying the dips will be the way to go. As we navigate the ebbs and flows of corn prices through the lens of Elliott wave analysis, we stand primed to seize the opportunities that lie ahead, armed with insights gleaned from a meticulous examination of market dynamics.     Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com
