More voices pushing towards convergence of rules and noting that travel restrictions are not of any use. We know how susceptible political communities are to narratives, this is one narrative I support although I generally wish politicians would serve their constituents and not be led by the gods of TV.
fordm - I am disgusted by your cynical attitude towards worldwide governments and leaders. How dare you malign my personal hero -Jacinda Ardern (I have a poster of her on my wall) - she's amazing.
And are you really suggesting that people no longer have faith in their leaders? Shame on you.
PS - have a good day bruv.
b-b, the problem with closing of borders is that it is a 'knee-jerk' reaction from governments, none of it makes sense as the science actually states it as being useless.
I cannot wait to see NZ open up, they will have a mushroom cloud effect of infections. They think that by closing borders they have escaped it, all they have done is prolong it. This is why there is uncertainty about flying, booking holidays etc. You leave your country one day get to your destination and they they change the rules and they do that at a drop of a hat.
Can you blame people for not trusting what their governments say when in the last two years have proved that they flip flop?
With all the vaccines and controls, this sp should be near the 180 mark by now and yet here we are, that is consumer sentiment.

Starting to see a number of stories popping up with a general narrative that next time a variant is 'of concern' that closing borders and restricting flights is useless and does much more harm than good. It does seem that a meandering to a global consensus is being created where travel restrictions will be low down on the list of responses to the next variant of concern.
The only good thing to come out of the kind of military stand off is iis and other large funds have to enter genuinely speculative trading. Will it be war or peace? Will war be profitable or not? Will peace be profitable or not? What cost to avoid war? Opinions diverge much more in these times and it can be a really great opportunity to make some big gains, if of course you happen to pick the right side!
Slowly clawing back yesterday's drop. There are issues with what the fed may do with rates, and whether Putin will up the ante by moving more forces in position. I think the hit the Russian exchange took will focus minds. Putin will have an exit strategy and the next move on the chess board will either be offensive or defensive. In my opinion based on the politics I know from that part of the world Putin will settle for some ethnic territorial gains whilst a commission or some such is set up at the UN to waste a few years away looking to find a demilitarisation of the region [that will never happen, just a treading water exercise]. Remember woke culture hasn't quite caught up with these areas of the world and the demarcation lines are in full view. It is why the Balkans descended into all out war after the lid of the pressure cooker was lifted off after the end of the Russian soviet era. My biggest worry that things could fall apart is the EU trying to elbow its way in to try and look important. It is already talking in terms of EU US. Specifically leaving out UK. In pursuit of their silly campaign to demonise the UK they are likely to use situations like the Ukraine with no account of the trouble they will create by dividing the united front to Russia. So far it looks to be predominantly US Russia discussion, UK and EU states independently contributing resources under the auspice of nato. The French/German separate approach to Moscow seems to be swept under the carpet for the moment and everybody must just hope they don't try and crash the treaty signing with some idiot ideas to bring peace in our time trying to steal the show and cause a complete collapse and actual hostilities. If you think that's is just a load of ranting rubbish, go back and look at the Balkans and what a complete mess the EU made of that trying to act as a supranational state. Nothing in the political structure has changed since then except the UK has left.
It's a fingers crossed time for a week or two and hope the fed prioritises inflation control.
Cheers.
I think Saxo, IG etc or you can spreadbet without forex exposure
Straight $10US per trade no commission up to $60,000 trade, after that incremental but same scale so 120,000 is $20.
Cheers, I'll look into it, any suggestions?
Use different platforms for different for the appropriate markets. I know can be a pain.
Not for me, £0 per trade, but a very unfavourable forex +1.25% commission.
Trading wise $10 per trade + libor and a few %
Trading wise $10 per trade
monkeys, I appreciate what you are saying, that's why I said in my experience, my platform is a bit of a rip off so that deters me anyway. Not to say i did not buy, but bought to make the fees worthwhile.
fordm, Incorrect, all depends on trading platform, more akin to trading.
You can look into it if you are interested again all depends if you want to be exposed to currency movements or not. Use of derivatives is easy but long winded to explain on a forum, just saying it is no problem trading any stock.
sundemza, no point buying US stocks unless you invest heavily and with a sizeable amount, the fees and exchange rate alone are stupid high, not for day trading either, LTH only. buy and forget for a few years.
Just my experience
Go and buy DELTA Little blue then...why waste your time on this board....No1 to talk to on their board???? :))
+5 % coming...patience is required..although i need a bit less to close my trade in profit...£400-500 in a day is not to be sniffed at!!! DYOR.
Well spotted IAG. Gold star :)
Yeah bb you’re prediction of the 5% rise didn’t happen either…..
https://www.metro.us/asian-shares-extend-losses/
I wouldn't get your hopes up too high for a 5% U-turn today based on the Asian markets overnight.
I think the nato stepping up activity and US rally will help, but the asian markets indicate all is not sorted just yet.
