Well I know that some of you may be wishing that I’d talk about something other than $USDRUB but its been another couple of amazing days in the currency pair. (See here for my earlier posts on USDRUB) Yesterday was a 10% drop which caused the Russian Central Bank to increase interest rates from 10.5% […]

I talked about USDRUB last week and this morning we saw price hit highs (again) with price just falling short of 58 Ruble to the USD. As I explained in the video I thought 54 might be the line the Russian Central Bank drew in the sand…but from the last few days action it would […]

Last year ladies and gentlemen I penned a rather indulgent, self-important piece about Iraq titled Ten Years on: still shock and no awe.  I suppose its interesting to find that a year on from writing that article we find ourselves back in Iraq conducting bombing missions …..along with our new (ahem) ‘allies’ the Iranians and […]

I decided to talk about USDRUB – which has been a great trade all year. I’ve not really mentioned on this blog but I’ve been trading it and talking about it […]
