BOC held rates
I just got a call from my broker about an increase in margin requirements for gbp and jpy
I expect massive volatility to the upside as well as a positive correlation with the stock market.
me thinks they are actively trying to keep out the little guy
all this pointing to a .25 or 0 interest rate increase by the us, the end of tightening
jpy interest rate decision tonight
nfp tomorrow
