Sterling Digest: March 5, 2012

Twenty pound bill by Images_of_Money, on Flickr — Sterling on the rise

Sterling is strong across the board this morning. Despite less-than-expected UK Services PMI, sterling has managed to catch a bid versus many of the major currency pairs this trading session. The only exception at the moment is the $EURGBP, as euro strength battles sterling strength making for a very small range in the pair today.

Greece bailout — And in other news this week, Greece got bailed out again...I think...

$GBPUSD finally reached the major psychological level of 1.60 this week with the high at 1.5992. $GBPJPY breached its major psychological level of 130.00 with its high of 130.11 this week. However, both pairs finished the week with a healthy pullback as sterling weakened versus most of the majors on Friday. The $EURGBP was an exception as that pair probed new lows on the week at 0.8314 on across-the-board euro weakness.

Sterling Digest, March 2 2012: THE FIRST RUN

Here is the first run of Sterling Digest.

I started the Sterling Digest when I was editor of StockTwitsFX.com. I’m so happy to continue the Digest here on FaithMightFX, my new forex blogging home.

I’m LIVE!

What a professional journey it has been for me these past 3 years. When asked to do a personal blog, I passed on this opportunity when first presented to me almost 9 months ago. I didn’t think myself ready or even worthy to present ideas under my own brand. Tweeting is one thing. Even being an editor of a blog is a very different thing. I can hide (more or less) amongst other traders and opinions. But under my own blog, it’s just me all the way out there. I had done it before but on StockTwits it’s just a completely different level of authority and respect so I had to be sure that I could represent.

Thankfully, opportunity knocked twice and I was a fool only once before. I snapped on it this time. I put things in place and finally here we are. It’s been quite a journey. From trader to tweeter to editor and now my own personal forex blog. Thank you StockTwits! Let’s do this!
