Taking profits on GBP/AUD


On Sunday night
, I'd sold some GBP/AUD based on the premise that high Australian interest rates (6.75%) were on their way up, and nearly as high rates in the UK (5.50%) were on their way down this year. Well, I just took exactly 3 big figures out of that trade in about 60 hours, so that'll do me for now. Bought the Jun '08 contract back at 224.02, (spot is trading 222.35).

As always, I'll try and remember and keep an eye on this one, to look for the re-entry. I still think we could have a solid break out of the long-term range as the UK economy comes to a screeching halt.

Profit: £1500 = $2941

Yours,
