At the “Economic Turning Point”?

If we’re at the “economic turning point” as I believe we are…then that will be bad for the dollar, yen and Swiss franc but will be particularly good for those currencies that tend to be influenced by inflation, commodities and risk taking…which would be the Aussie dollar, New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar and British pound…and arguably in that order.

As an additional note, if this is true…then the natural course of “Swiss franc weakness” may kick in and help the Swiss central bank out with a weaker franc. They’ve been proactively “selling francs” but there may come a time (and we could be there now) that the market actually kicks in and “aids” their intervention efforts for a weaker franc to the euro in particular. If so, between their collective “franc selling” and the market’s turning point…it could bode well for those that are long (buyers of) EUR/CHF. The Swiss are attempting to put in a floor on the EUR/CHF pair around 1.50-1.51. So anytime it gets to around the 1.51 region, one could go long the pair with a wide stop and low number of lots and probably experience a good “upside to downside” risk ratio.

I’ll also note that, so far, the Swiss have been able to reverse the daily downtrend on the EUR/CHF pair and have “held the line” quite well so far. You can look at it from most any aspect you wish and it still holds true. The pair is technically above its downtrend line, 50 SMA, 200 SMA, etc…all of which are bullish for the EUR/CHF pair.
