Market action resembles a door slammed on ones hand, biggest move down in six weeks pretty much. Not exactly sure why, Italy cleared its bond auctions

Its the accumulated losses that really hurt and whats happened is we have reset and gone back to the lower prices of the last month.
Mostly its been going sideways, this is a sharp move today but in total its not done much recently

No posts for 6 weeks!?! :eek:

I've been keeping half an eye on the $, in prep for our trip in the summer, but haven't seen any significant movement

Anyone got any ideas about what might happen over the next 4-5 months (yes, I know no-one has a crystal ball ... I'm talking best/educated guesses)

nobody knows

Yes, I know nobody knows
Just wondering what anyone who might know more about these things thinks might happen as a general trend over the next few months - out of interest

I've been watching the $ for several years now, but there seems to have been a lack of any significant movement for longer than I can remember over the last 4-5 years ......

If we only ever discussed things we know with absolute certainty would happen we wouldn't have much to discuss :rotfl:

its been fairly stable for the last month
