What do people think is going to happen post Brexit vote?


Recommended Posts

I have a firm view that Brexit Remain vote will not change the fundamental picture in the financial markets or the wider global economy but may be a temporary catalyst for US large cap stock markets to make new all time highs (probably not the other markets thought, which will make strong retraces instead).  After that the end of the Bull market must surely come in.

 

On Commodities I think this scenario results in the end of the current retrace and a turn into a final move down to the bottom.

 

On FX I expect a fall off in DX corresponding to a surge in the Euro and GBP, with USDJPY completing the current move down as previously discussed and then USD goes on a large rally against all currencies, probably coinciding with a turn off the Stock markets all time highs.  Additionally I see an initial Euro relief rally against GBP followed by a strong Euro fall as the reaoity of the Eurozone economy and the precarious nature of the EU post Brexit vote hits home. 

 

I believe we will see a narrow Remain result, which will be too narrow to kill the issue (just like with the Scottish independence vote) and then we will see whether the Eurocrats are serious about real reform, which they are not and when people see that the issue will raise it head again, perhaps in somewhere like France with the people, emboldened by a close UK result, calling for their own referendum.  Surveys show the French people are more disenchanted with the EU than the Brits!  That one would probably go in the favour of exit and then the cats is truly among the pigeons...

 

Anyone else got a view?

Hy Mercury, if their was a remain vote, which looks like the markets are pricing that in already, it will most likely be a very narrow result, of which then without a shed of doubt their will be some turmoil in the conservative party. However in terms of reform in Europe, that to me seems more a joke and a dream and not to be taken seriously. If their was a remain, I don't think we are going to see a rally in indices or currencies as much as institutions are making out, simply due to uncertainty in the Eurozone and the US. Overall I still see USD-JPY falling lower, and GBP against the EURO to still fall regardless of the vote. The irony of course, is that Scotland is without a shed of doubt going to bring up the subject of the referendum for independence, if we vote leave, then I think to the contrary, regardless of what the SNP state.

It has been a very long time since I have seen such volatility in the market, and after staying up most of the night, we have seen interesting moves all across the board, however, it does seem that GBP-USD has slowed down, USD -JPY did go below 100Y, but soon went above 101 again, BOJ to make a press conference this morning. Now that we have left the EU, many of us have been saying, how Europe as a whole is standing up to the establishment, hence why I now would not doubt a win vote for Donald Trump in America. I do think now that the UK and the EU will no doubt will try to reassure the markets ASAP, and central bank chiefs will without doubt make statements sooner or later.

Overall a good victory for democracy, however as traders, this is going to require re-assessment across many major indices, commodities and currencies.

Reassessment  is needed on a continuous basis but this time it will take some time for the dust to settle.  Trading any time soon is a gamble in my view.  Logic would say that there will be a large reaction retrace but these times are not logical.

 

Longer term I think this may be the pin the pricks the bubbles but it will doubtless take a while for that to become apparent sufficiently to trade it.  The strange thing is that the markets are all going the way many of us have forecast long term, just happened over night, that is the crazy part.  One or two need another look (EURGBP for instance) now that is an overreaction.  The Euro FFX crosses may well be a decent trade soon as people wake up to what will not happen in the Eurozone.

Hy Mercury, although many have now suggested we could still see further falls in the pound, I myself a little sceptical about that. We have to start looking into the past and make some similar comparisons and therefore reach a logical conclusion, even though the markets are from logical right now. My View is that the euro dollar is the one that could take a pounding, as the rise in euroscepticism starts to unfold and therefore greater uncertainty in the Eurozone. Of course a credit downgrade could add to the increasing pressure on the pound itself, but that remains to be seen. The facts are we are not in a recession, the BOE has not intervened as of yet, and if you look at past history with the ERM, we all know that was not the most greatest of ideas even then. From a technical analysis view, looking at EUR-GBP, I do think we may have almost completed W5, therefore, unless it penetrates that tramline, I do think we may gain some strength. Let me know of course if you have a different view of this.

    • 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
