FX next week: DXY, EUR/USD and GBP/USD
|The comclusion to yesterday's probabilities for central banks to change interest rates are permanent probabilities as 23% to 77%. One step further is 23%, 50% and 77%. Any forecasts above 77% and below 23% is wrong.
The currency wars of the 1930's and Bretton Woods 1% exchange rates taught us the modern day market concept to Competitive Advantage. Interest and exchange rates must maintain balance and alliances to each other's central bank rates. An interest rate adjustment to a central bank requires an equal reaction from all central banks to maintain Competitive Advanrtage. This explains the permenent probabilities.
The 1930's Currency Wars experienced Competitive Devaluations to exchange rates as the French worked exceedingly hard to destroy GBP and drive GBP's exchange rate to zero.
The 30 day interest rate rate alliance to the main central bank rate is to close to forecast accurately. Market probabilities use Markov Chains or the answer to what is the here and now probabilities. Easier ways exist to forcecast interet rate changes.
USD/CAD traded 64 pips from the BOC interest change or 15 pip minimum to 67 max. This is the new 2022 interest rate arrangement by central banks.
