China: Another rate cut from PBoC
The Peoples Bank of China (PBoC) today cut its leading 1 year benchmark lending and deposit interest rates by 27bp to 5.21% and 2.25% respectively.

In addition, the reserve requirement ratio (RRR) for smaller commercial banks was cut by 50 bp to 13.5% and the RRR for major banks was cut by 50 bp to 15.5%. In light of the very weak November numbers released for the Chinese economy, the rate cut does not come as a surprise. On

Japan: BoJ cuts leading rate by 20bp and turns to quantitative easing "light"

Start Selling JPY, particularly against high yeilders

24/10/08 09:59

Hello Traders,

Start Selling JPY, particularly against high yeilders - Long > AUDJPY

We can start to build some traunches on long AUDJPY starting here at 56.12 and lower only, currently it is NYSE market open, as I write this. Place 0.25:1 gearing on your traunches to 1:1 max (four traunches) risking max 2% of equity on total traunches. Take profit on each traunch separately as price moves above using discretion and price. Today should spike down and we should see an equities rally in the next 5 trading days. Look for carry this position for several weeks to a few months. I will update in Pro Traders Club.

Good Luck with your trading and be careful out there.

Chris
