CALDEIRÃO DE BOLSA

Os pedidos de subsídio de desemprego também saíram pior que o esperado.

Com o abate dos 2 falcões que havia no MPC (que eu saiba só abriu a caça à rola), estava à espera de um comportamento mais negativo por parte da libra.

Tenho um feeling que o mercado está a descontar uma qualquer espécie de um novo QE por parte de FED.
É a única explicação que encontro para o comportamento do dólar.

Já agora, julgo que já existem 3 tópicos que metem libras...

Bons negócios

Wed, Aug 17 2011, 08:53 GMT | FXstreet.com

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The Pound has dropped across the board, as the minutes of August's monetary policy meeting showed MPC members Dale and Weale abandoning their previous positions for monetary tightening, in the light of the deteriorated global economic outlook.

GBP/USD has plunged 100 pips, from 1.6450 to 1.6350, wile the GBP/JPY retreat from 126.40 extended below 126.00 to day lows at 125.25, and EUR/GBP recovery from 0.8730 as extended 50 pips higher to 0.8800.

The Bank of England Monetary policy committee approved unanimously its decision to leave its Bank Rate at 0.5% all-time low, with Martin Weale and Spencer Dale, monetary tightening defendants in previous meetings, changing their vote on concerns about "slowing in world demand and heightening tensions in the financial markets."

FLASH: BoE MPC voted unanimously to hold UK interest rates at 0.5%
