Fed lowers rates which hurts dollar and yen rallies. What do all the folks who have the carry trade on eventually do? I think this rally is being led by momo guys and will end badly. Thoughts?
What about the carry trade?

Yes, it's momo guys.
Note though that the Fed has not cut rates -- all that's happened today is a psychological operation designed to give that impression.

sounds like the fed is saying that they may need to raise rates but they are kinda sorta adopting an easing bias. that's a good reason to rally

Question...how many equity price advances have there been with the FED lowering rates over the last 80 years?Note though that the Fed has not cut rates...
Question...wouldn't it be more correct to say that this same operation took place over the last 3 weeks?...all that's happened today is a psychological operation designed to give that impression

I don't know, Fib. Maybe. I'm a bull -- think we'll close the year higher.
But today's action smells, that's all...it's not a clean shot.
