I'm on multiple platforms, but typically 212 for individual holdings and IE for etf understood that makes sense yhtl - yep something been looking very off critical moment on the day for market here - cusp of a spike higher but fail and we may see another rapid sell off right at this point |

Japanese investors turned net sellers of overseas bonds in March 2025, marking the first time in three months, as they divested $6.14 billion worth of long-term foreign bonds, primarily U.S. bonds, reversing the net purchases seen in February.
This move was fueled by a decline in U.S. yields and a broader shift towards foreign equity investments. Additionally, earlier in the year, Japan had already sold off $27.3 billion in U.S. bonds, reducing its holdings to $1.0598 trillion, still the largest holdings of any single country. Hmmm, not so much sizewise really I would think - not really my area of focus though still largest holder with Chiyynaa in 2nd |

USD weak again, US 10 year weak again. I'm keeping the big powder dry a little longer.

Aftertiming, and still getting it wrong. That's a new low
 No wonder you had to open a new account to get a new chatname. |

By:
Not sure you really do this, hit 9934 (usd vs basket of currencies) at 3.30 after that goes all the way up to 10000. What isn’t surprising is you again claiming you didn’t get it wrong!

Post today's trading chart showing USD strength. You must be looking at something different to me (quite possible). While you're at it, quote yourself stating it would be strong today.
|

By:
Listen, you were wrong and you know it, you can go on any chart you like.

If you think USD isn't weak today, please PLEASE ensure that you only use Demo trading accounts (unless you're playing me).

USD weak again, Is it very complicated for you. At 3.30pm, USD was very weak. At 8.35pm, guess what, USD is still very weak. |
|
By:
I refer you to my post at 8.22pm, a child could understand it.
|
|
By:
Even on the bleedin chart you’ve posted you can see that it was low when you posted then it spiked and it is still significantly above the value at 3.30, saying it is ‘weak’ means fcukall
|
|
By:
It is like I'm talking to a child. I wasn't making a call on what would happen to USD from 3.30pm today. I stated it was weak again. It is weak again.
Can I confirm, are you actually trying to claim USD isn't weak? Go and play snoopy tennis or summat. |
|
By:
So, in your view, you will make money by saying it is weak? You make money when it goes below the value you said when you said it was weak, and it fcuking well hasnt

I don't trade currency. Perhaps you're unaware of the significance of USD being weak, at the same time as US treasury yields are climbing.
Almost all of my plays are based on medium and long term trends. I only day trade if there's an obvious and immediate unmissable opportunity, and if I was posting about a day trade on here, I would be specific about it. |
|
By:
The markets are hyper sensitive to news currently, so something as simple as a Fed member stating what they'd always state (they're ready to step in if needed), apparently sees buying of the major indices again. A sniff of bad news looking forward, and the sell off could be rapid.
|
|
By:
But you have been noted as an aftertimer, Cider.
Or - to put it more politely - one who posts facing both ways and cites the better later. Which is half the job of a financial adviser. Is that fair? |
|
By:
This thread, and my OT savings thread are full of calls. That I've made about what might happen, recommendations etc. Going right back to when I recommended locking in interest rates in mortgages way back in 2022 (calling a rapid spike in inflation incoming). Obviously, not everything has been correct. I don't set out to 'aftertime' as a default, no doubt in over 20 years of posting history it has happened.

Fair enough.

Cider • April 7, 2025 9:03 AM BST cherry picking today, eg ncyf, inpp, mrch, cty, lwdb not time for index yet (for me) All nicely up, not selling though. Next cab off the rank: Vanguard UK Inflation Linked Gilt Index Accumulation (GBP) Price today £132.63 .https://markets.ft.com/data/funds/tearsheet/historical?s=GB00B45Q9038:GBP (far lower than just after KK delivered his budget and the Fed hiked rates, when I 'day' traded it, btw) |

By:
All nicely up, not selling though. Next cab off the rank:
a number of those were trading ex-dividend on that date when I 'day' traded it, btw  seriously though a good time to buy global at the moment with a weak s&p500 combined with strong gbp/usd |
|
By:
Erm, exactly which one of those holdings prices were impacted by the x date between 7th April 2025 and yesterday?
(seems like you may well be as clueless about trading s&s as everything else, but we'll see) |

modest imo, I see a lot more pressure coming down the track in the short term on both usd and US equities. all it will take is some negative hard data, a lot of soft data is screaming in that direction. I have started chipping in, pca, however. |
