Asian governments and central bankers breathed a collective sigh of relief on Thursday after currencies edged up and stocks rallied rather than recoiled at the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates. The prospect of the first hike in U.S. rates in almost a decade had kept emerging markets on edge in the weeks leading up to the Fed’s decision, amid fears investors would redirect capital to higher-yielding U.S. debt in a fresh blow to their shaky economies.

The Fed is done and we’ve had a few hours to digest.
I like USD/CAD longs here. It hasn’t made the kind of move that some other currencies have but the momentum lower for oil has begun to kick off again and if the US dollar can continue to strengthen, that will compound it. USD/CAD is almost within striking distance of 1.40.

Ecological Panic: The New Rationale For Globalist Cultism
