Position changes

Got cold feet on my long EUR short USD trade and closed it out today at 1.3590 for a small gain.
But decided I hate the pound, and so sold GBP1m and bought USD at 1.4990.

Will update more tomorrow.

what do you think of the kiwi against the GBP ?

I like it!

As I am long kiwi already and now short the pound, I am effectively long the NZD/GBP cross anyway!

I have a target of 0.5000 in the NZD/GBP. Basically the UK is stuffed, for a long time yet, but at least until after the election in June.

In NZ the RBNZ will eventually raise interest rates, and that will send the NZD/USD back to the 0.7500 area, maybe more.

All in all, it adds up to a higher NZD/GBP!
