21st Aug - US Close


Interesting day - the AAPL train finally stopped, and the SPX felt it immediately. Currently sitting at good short-term buying levels. EURUSD broke above the resistance area around 1.24, and looks like the next stop will be around 1.26. Do check my updated Calendar page.

Chances of QE3 DiminishingTim Duy’s Fed Watch
Closely following the doves would lead one to conclude that QE3 was imminent.  This dovish chatter keeps the possibility of QE on the table.  But really this has been the case for months.  That should lead one to conclude that the bar to additional QE is high, very high.  The middle, led by Bernanke, is just not pulling in that direction.
