Us $ direction

Where is the us$ going to move? My analysis shows indecision. Basis is far better here in canada than america, and I believe it's due to dollar differences...

Anyone watching and predicting trends in the usd? I just haven't had the time to look into it but I'm betting one of you guys do

Re: Us $ direction

Hey farmerguy......My two cents of the US dollar is that we are within weeks of a pretty major high. The high this week pretty well reaches my upper trend line on a weekly chart. Of course currency trends are one of the hardest for me to predict. So will the CDN go higher automatically when the US eventually drops? I don't think so necessarily but usually does which will make our cash prices closer to the US reality. I see many cash soybean prices under $9.00 and corn at $2.80 today.

Re: Us $ direction

cx...do you ever have bearish projections for things. Crude is keeling over on its way back to a normal price, maybe $60.

 

US$ targets for me are Feb15 @ 96, or 89 minimum.

 

Not an expert just some ratios and 90 quarters from the major low.

 

Important to remember the US$ index is 83% comprised of countries far more broke than we are: Euro, Jap, GB.

Obviously, the swiss, swedes, and canadians are far more under control, but at 17% of the average they can't push it far.

 

Forgot to mention the obvious, 1qtr2015 is 30 years from the all time high in 1qtr1985. Expecting a top before then is probably not backed up by the history.

That is the only good news for COP on the 2015 crop, Fuel costs.      So Far.

 

Note from the west ---- Wheat acres in SW may climb a little or a lot if you consider harvested acres.
