Need for a vacation

  31st of March 2021 With a long weekend approaching, the markets already look like they’re looking for the eggs, knowing that it’s going to be complicated to get down to Rome this year. Even for the bells and whistles that run us. Still, everything seems to be in freewheel mode and the same themes..

The CFD is a Gremlin that ignores itself

30th of March 2021 We can talk about the world’s stock markets, but yesterday, no matter what was happening on the broad indices (as they say to make it classy), all eyes were on the banking system which had – obviously – once again found a way to make news. We won’t refer to Credit..

Global markets are like a ship in the Suez Canal: stuck

  25th of March 2021 If one were to sum up what’s going on in the markets right now, I think I’ve come up with the perfect phrase that sums it all up: “markets posted mixed results on Wednesday as investors remained cautious and largely refrained from making any significant moves. ” – basically; nothing..

If it is, Powell is lying

  19th of March 2021 So we are sold the fact that THIS WEDNESDAY would be the most important Wednesday of the decade, if not of the century. THAT THIS MEETING of the FED in particular could change the face of the world and since June 6, 1944, there hadn’t been a more important day..

The Traveler of the Future

  18th of March 2021 The media and experts were all convinced that the March 2021 FED meeting would be “one of the most important meetings of the last few years” – a bit like it has been every third time in the last 20 years, but you have to sell newspapers and give the..

Between anxiety and anguish, my heart sways

17th of March 2021 No more talk about the stimulus. No more talk of inflation. No more talk of sector rotation. We’re not talking about tech anymore. No more talk about cryptos. But on the other hand, we’re getting anxious about the FED’s statements tonight, it’s unheard of. Anxiety This Tuesday which has just ended..

It’s raining MONEY

  16th of March 2021 The Dow Jones has just set its fourth consecutive record, the S&P500 is at its highest level ever and my little finger tells me that it will go straight to 4’000 points in the next few days. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq has just invalidated its “Head & Shoulders” and the long-awaited..
