Hi, gollun, yw'r morhod, yw wedi'i gweithio 23 o'r Gwchtynbol yn hyn o'r 8 o'r clwch arall, yn Llywodraeth. Mae'r cyfeirio'n ysgrif, oherwydd y cyfnod brexit. Maen nhw'n ymgylched yn ymgei nhw, rydyn nhw'n ymgylched. Yn ymgylched yma, mae'r bwysig yn eu cyfnod ar gŵr, ond mae'n cymryd yn ychydig yma ond mae'r gweithio ar y cynnig. Mae'n gweithio ar gyfer y cerddur o'r rhagol, oedd y pwn o'r hwnnw o'r hwnnw, sy'n dweud o'r hwnnw i gyflwyno yma o'r hwnnw, a fyddwn i'r 1.30, a'r 1.23, byddwn i'r hwnnw o'r hwnnw o'r 129 o'r hwnnw o'r ddod. Mae'r 106 o'r hwnnw o'r hwnnw o'r hwnnw o'r hwnnw o'r hwnnw o'r hwnnw, The first vote went the government way, which is the first time a majority win in the House of Commons for any Brexit deal, so the Wav vote going through the first time has been a majority a win there for the government at 329 to 299. Of course it wasn't all that simple from from then on as we know the next vote the the vote on the timetable to push plans through the government well in just three days the government was therefore defeated 322 to 308 the MPs saying they need more time to scrutinise the plans. So if we have a look at the reaction in the pounds going back to to the chart here you can see it's come under pressure from that I guess this more uncertainty now you know what we haven't got the confirmation whether there is going to be an extension. EU's Tusk came out and tweeted pretty much straight after that he was very much in favour and he was going to recommend the EU 27 to accept the UK request for an extension for this I'll propose a written procedure so you know still up in the up in the air this uncertainty which is probably what is still weighing on the pound because you know I'll go through my personal reasons and opinions why actually this is overall you know medium term anyway a positive for the pound the only reason we could continue to come lower consistently would be if no deal was looking ever more like in Europe have kind of shown their hand we're completely not wanting that and obviously parts of parliament as well so for me I do see the pounders as a buy over the coming days if not today given the right scenario in play but yeah last night government defeated on the second boat however first win majority something Theresa May failed to do three times before so overall yesterday you could even say it was a bit of a win for Boris he came out after and said his his policy still very much remains to to leave remains to leave on October 31st however the government have left a short extension on the table a couple of comments that have come through as well following this if parliament's delay is agreed by Brussels which as you saw from Donald Tusk looks likely then the only way the country can move on is within an election so we'll talk about the election how that could happen if that was to be motioned this week and then the reaction that it would perhaps have for the pound at the moment conservatives look like they would be able to get more of a majority which would of course give an increased chance of getting any deals through something Theresa May famously tried in 2017 albeit it backfired quite dramatically on that Thursday evening other comments Justice Secretary Robert Buckton said it was undeniably frustrating to have lost the program motion which would have given MPs three days to scrutinise plans we want to crack on and if we can't crack on regrettably it does seem that a general election is the only way to sort this out so yeah I think general election is going to be the most likely there's talks of a flexed extension there's talks of an extension now to to January the 31st which Boris Johnson has come out and said if that is the extension date then he is going to push for the general election and all of these things considered well let's have a quick look at the the charts at where we're currently trading on the bigger picture of course from the 122 120 low I should say we're we're still up quite nicely and this is of course of an unwind of the no deal so we're still seven and a half percent eight percent up from that low which really is just kind of the unwind of the whole move that we saw in May which was the increased chance of no deal Europe do not want no deal Parliament are not going to vote through no deal October the 31st has has been pretty much the whole time been off the the table terms of when we're leaving so we're kind of back to square one in terms of that we're not looking at no deal now a general election it would be a tricky one and let me know in the in the chat guys and trade in live and obviously YouTube later what you think about a medium term move on a general election whether it be pound beneficial or not of course there's still going to be some concerns about a Corpin led government if that was to be the case of course but would this then increase the chance of a deal getting put through and actually this is then pound positive and we're suddenly then looking towards 133 134 it'd be interesting to see what you will think the extension to January 31st again this is taking the the idea of no deal of the table giving more time to to get through a deal and if we take ourselves back to before the summer when they granted the extension to to halloween of course you know the comments out where there will not be another extension we all know it's all a case of just words at the time and even if this extension come January 31st do we really think there's going to be some sort of deal agreed by then unlikely I think Boris realises that and the only way that this could develop into reaching a deal sooner rather than never would be with that general election so there's good article from the BBC but this is probably back in October now just about how we can go about getting the the general election how it could be called and see the the first way do at least two thirds of MPs approve of a of an early general election if that's the case then 28th of October is is talked about and of course that is the first day 23rd of October as law requires 25 days between an election being called in parliament and polling day itself so that could be one way if two thirds of MPs approve on that as well and obviously just to note of course today and tomorrow was expected when MPs have been due to debate bill but will now return to discussing the contents of the Queen's speech following defeat in parliament yesterday which will put forward the government's domestic agenda for the new session of parliament so another way they could to call a general election of course they don't get those two thirds it may try to get round the requirement altogether it could do so by introducing a very short law that calls for an election and adds notwithstanding the fixed term parliament's act so if that is passed through the election it could be the fifth or twelfth of December so the 28th of November date would be if we get the two thirds if they don't get the two first that is still ways and I'll just put this into the chat room now of how we could get that general election yes you're going to have the uncertainty when it is called you know you're going to have Labour are they even going to allow that to happen we've had comments that have come through this morning from Richard Bergen of Labour who confirms Labour will back a general election if EU agrees an extension beyond October 31st however then we've just had some comments from an ITV source saying that they that the majority of Labour do not agree with Robert Richard Bergen so it's going to be comments like this it's going to be the uncertainty our Labour going to vote if it comes through what their policy going to be is there going to be a second referendum on the table the customs union so that uncertainty fine will weigh in my opinion on the pound short term but only be a better opportunity to buy as I do feel Conservatives will have enough to get this deal or get the the majority in parliament therefore get a deal through and that for me then takes us in the pound at least at least up to 134 so for me over the course of the next month or so I do see a pound being higher than where it is now I have to say so back to that arc also we at the government calls election through a law to get around the two thirds of vote requirement and or Labour could call emotion of no confidence I don't really see that happening or the government could call emotion of no confidence in itself as well so that will be all up for debate and surely it could be the only way really we get anything through an extension or a flex extension which has been talked about while I do feel short term is going to be short the pound along the pound sorry a good opportunity to to get in it's just going to be more uncertainty no deal being reached and I feel the general election is the only way forward here but anyway I'd be interested to see what what you guys think there as well Mr Buckland who I mentioned saying that the general election was the the way to to go through he said no deal was still a real possibility I have to say I disagree on that if the EU just chose to not extend the deadline past the 31st of October I don't think that's the case the the EU don't want it I don't think Boris really wants it either so no deal has been taken off the card so that whole may move down to the 120 low on no deal happening or increased chance of it has been reversed unless we were to get some seriously hawkish rhetoric regarding that for me that's that's put to put to the sword for now Katya Adler obviously a good source to follow in regards to Brexit along with Laura Coonsburg has been speaking overnight and claiming that their EU circles said she had spoken to were tempted to grant the extension to 31st of January laid out in the so-called Ben Act the law aimed at preventing no deal of course however BBC Brussels reporter Adam Fleming said their EU source has indicated the block was also considering a flex extension an extension with a maximum end date with the flexibility for the UK to leave early if a deal was ratified sooner so initially of that I'd see that as a positive but as with the free to go back to that as with the maximum end date we've already had a couple of those and it doesn't really work too well so positive initially and then as we get closer to that maximum end date the uncertainty surrounding it the chance of no deal perhaps coming back into to the minds of no deal happening itself that could be then a negative down the line but certainly short term and see that would be as a as a positive if an election was to be triggered this week as mentioned that would be 28th of November that that would come in if we have a look elsewhere from last night what the reaction of the pound had on markets not just the pound related the euro on the left hand side here you can see also came lower stocks overnight literally as the vote took place drifted lower as well so if we take ourselves back to last week where the the talk of a deal happening I think it would have been Wednesday last week let's have a look Tuesday last week where the talk of a deal happening stocks loved it as well not just in Europe but the US as well so this risk at a time being taken off the table now that uncertainty is back in stocks you can see came under pressure as well gold this morning has pushed higher obviously the inverse of that risk off in the markets and we're now back to that 1493 92 level however worth keeping an eye on gold here as we are just getting squeezed from both directions so worth just having these marks up for a potential move to come later on and the bigger one I usually would expect considering the last few days where it has been squeezed in also yesterday worth noting we had some comments out of of OPEC as well so you can see oil and it's going to put this into 15 minute chart you can see where these comments came through yesterday from OPEC that there was rumours that they were going to do an extension or increase extension cuts in December and of course this helped well supply cuts next month yes so November this helped oil push higher however we have just dipped perhaps a bit from those highs on a bit of risk off in the market the bund pushing on late last night tea notes as well also doing that so really this week or the rest of this week which was going to be focused on for the pound anyway about the the next sort of two days of debates is going to be a case of what is the the EU's ploy are they going to grant an extension is that going to be a fixed date or is it going to be you know a case where they can leave before if they were to reach a deal or are the UK upon hearing maybe a January 31 extension are they actually going to call or try motion a general election itself either way medium term I see it as a pound positive the only negatives are going to be the uncertainty initially of a general election or if the if or if you were not to grant an extension if that was the case if they were not to grant an extension I honestly don't think Boris Johnson would would leave on the 31st of October with no deal and you know therefore I think if that was to happen today we'd already be down towards 124 considering we're up at 129 so big intraday move absolutely that was to happen considering there's only well eight days until Halloween also worth having a look at the the calendar for for today just to reiterate that it's going to be relatively quiet one as well Monday Tuesday dead days in the market has to be said and now on the calendar front the same expected we'll go through the the api readings ahead of the DOE later on as well but though are really the main thing here that's going to move price from a scheduled point of view and that's at 330 no real speakers yes we've got some earnings out as well bowing Microsoft expected eBay caterpillar so worth keeping an eye on those as they come out from from markets also quick look over the the betting odds of a general election so if we have a look at the the British politics betting odds here Jeremy Corbyn nine to four to be the next prime minister I would say that's not high enough personally month of next general election so December here is five to six I think to be honest and you know I am a betting man November we talked about November the 28th would be the earliest the general election could happen now that would of course mean that we're it would get motioned pretty much this week in the coming days but 20 to one for that shows how markets betting markets aren't really expecting that to happen as of yet however December is odds on so that's when we would be perhaps looking for for that to happen as well back to Brexit if we have a look here the UK to leave the EU by the 31st of October and of course that now would be pretty much without a deal looking at 16 to one so I think that's fair odds considering that it's very unlikely to be to happen a second EU referendum you're looking at about 20 to one before 2020 so again quite unlikely for that to to be the case as well so quick look over at the markets technically how we're looking ahead of the day if we start off with the pound so I mentioned I like the idea of there being an opportunity to to go long so the way I'll be looking at it is obviously you've got the highs of the day from yesterday evening I should say the yesterday evening high I've also got the lows in the mix around there so 129 25 just before the pivot which then of course comes up with a couple of lows as well if we were to get a break above that just bringing the text line here something like this to come in to get that push through from a technical perspective of course the idea of when this extension is going to happen general election chat is going to influence markets but that could be a way that I would be looking at it of course to the downside if we were to have any further negative sentiment in in the market you can see we're starting to trend higher so a break of that from those lows as well could be a half decent opportunity to target of course the lows from there the low that we made this morning pretty much bang on the low from the 18th as well so again an opportunity to get short should we break that low I think very much it would be a case of just waiting and seeing what how this market reacts really yes it is of course a big intraday move from 130 24 down to 28 64 but I can easily see over the coming days a full reversal of that yes 1 2 3 4 5 6 tests up at that high so you've got to imagine as well a break above there could see a bit of a relief rally in with the euro obviously worth noting tomorrow you've got the ECB meeting last draggy meeting so I'm not expecting too much in the way of fireworks from this market today and really markets in general it has to be said other than the pound pivots are pretty key area original low from yesterday also a closing high from last night as well up towards the highs from last week trending lower got a solid base like with the pound of that low from the 18th so worth keeping an eye on that how we get squeezed in and then the possible push lower just on the brexit uncertainty maybe the opportunity there to wait for that break or above the pivot to target towards that trend line either way I'm expecting a relatively quiet one S&P you can see here the pivot like with the euro and the pound a pretty important level an area of support that we had broken through so we're keeping a watch on that like with those lows as well probably worth waiting until the the second part of the day the US cash open to really come in and wait for the earnings obviously Caterpillar we know can move the down and be a good bell wherever going forward Microsoft Boeing and eBay PayPal all ones that will in their own right have an influence on stock so some interesting earnings you've got 20% remember of the S&P coming out and giving earnings this week so while actually earnings have been slightly more positive you've also got the the troublesome geopolitical risks the brexit scenario trade talks obviously while we had some positive chat recently about November talks the brexit situation really the main driver here going forward oil we'll mention we'll go run through as we come closer to to 330 obviously that high from yesterday slightly broken through the the the high from the 18th but obviously a fail break of that and remains a pretty key area of interest 54 68 and give or take a few ticks it means bring in this rectangle to show why you can see those break that breakdown area from the 27th to the 1st highs from the 15th 16th and then of course recently there as well so if we can get back above there it'll be pretty significant and be a bit of a relief for the oil market of course with these cuts proposed for next month you can see that happening alternatively be looking to see if we can break you know what has been quite a choppy trend or something like this so for oil like with gold it'd be a case for me certainly medium term anyway for a clearer direction to wait for confirmed break above either here or back below that trend line as well so same as gold as mentioned just getting squeezed in perhaps waiting for you know the better opportunity to be above here or below there as well just going back to that calendar just to wrap it up expecting a relatively quiet session to to be honest just eyes out on or ears out should we say on on the brexit situation of is there going to be the January 31st is it going to be a flex extension and then general election chat as well any questions as usual please do let us know but I hope you will have a good trading day ahead


Hello, stampers. Hi, everyone. Welcome to our Stampin' Chat with Aubrey and Stampin' Jill. We are playing today with Them Bones Sweet. Them Bones, Them Bones, Them.  Yeah, there is a song. It's all about Them Bones. Maybe somebody can tell us what the name of the song is. Probably Them Bones. Something like that. So we were running a bit behind today. So we haven't even started playing with it yet. We just put these on the blocks for the first time. Yes, but it's this Bag of Bones stamp set. So it has all these cute little skeleton guys and the dyes that coordinate. So I've cut a few of them out. And what's the extra ones besides skeletons in there?  And then all of the little skeleton pieces. Right, and then they've got like a cemetery. Oh, yeah, they have the, what did you call it? Mausoleum, I think they're called right here. A mausoleum or a tomb. Right. That's a gravestone. It goes inside of that. Oh, yeah. So, yeah. And then it's got the fence and it's got the hat. Oh, look, a shirt you could even, oh wait, is that a hat or a shirt? Or a flag? I don't know, we haven't played with it. Actually, I think it's a bone with something on it. Let's see, I'm looking at the actual thing. We've got to discover what that is. Yeah, we'll just have to figure it out. Or it's maybe, maybe it's. But I can't show you the cat log yet. There's also this DSP designer series paper that is part of the suite. It is super cute. And the dies match these. Yeah, we think you can cut those out with the dies. The dogs, the cat, and the light. Super cute. I also want to show this sheet. This is like one of those one sheet wonder kind of sheets. You can cut out the different card bases. No, they're ready to go. Yes, ready to go. Otherwise, look how cute. Okay, I thought these were cats, but they're the shape. Oh no, it's the. It's the cat is on the actually. It's this, this sheet. Okay. But I guess, do you see on there? Are they cats or bats? Joe said, look at those cats. And I was like, no, they're bats.  But so cute. But they've got, it could be either or. All right. Well, maybe when we get some friends chiming in, we'll have to have a vote. Cats or bats. Are these cats or bats? Aubrey says bats. Jill says cats. Beth, what do you say? Beth says bats. Oh, wow. Hey, let us know what you think. And we are going to go ahead and get, oh, I forgot. These are fun ones. What was the dark? You can see them as. They kind of have an iridescent look. And that's better. Ghosts and bats, but they're glow in the dark bats and ghosts. And they really work. And they also glow in the dark paper. So you can actually cut out the skeletons just in the paper. Yeah. And we tested it to see if we could show you, but. It doesn't work on the camera. So you'll have to try it out yourself. Yeah, they are really fun. I'm excited to play with this. So after Aubrey gets done stamping that in the momento, I'm going to clean it off. And I'm going to go ahead and stamp the skeleton. And I'm going to do a method where it's reverse. So I'm going to stamp it first reverse on this. And it's the silicone mat. I'm putting it on a block. And I kind of put some adhesive on it. I think we have a video doing that with a different one. It's the mirrored image. Oh, yeah. That's what I think it's called. And I just call it a block. Yeah. No, I think it's the same idea. But look at that cute little skeleton guy. Cute. He's cute. Or a skeleton gal. I don't know. Yeah, I'm going to make a girl and guy on mine. And I'm just looking at which way I'm going to go. So I think I'm going to go ahead and do one purple and one orange. So I think I'll do the girl first in gorgeous grape. Oh, you could put these together with some, what are those called? So I'm going to stamp it on. Oops. I've got to be careful because it kind of smears it. Hopefully I got that. So I stamped it on that first. And then I'm going to just take this and lay it right on top and rub it. Did I not get all of the things? Maybe I didn't get them all. We'll just have like a dance and a jig one. OK, so there's one. Now I'm going to go ahead and do the other side. It was kind of a little wobbly on my first attempt. So I'm going to go ahead and do it with pumpkin pie.  Cute. So I've got to clean that. Wherever I put the things right here. That it looks like the spotlight is on him. Yeah, you can use that. One of those little one sheet wonder pieces. But he's also going to have his trusty sidekick with him. We have our leadership this week that we're going to. And I know I'm going to see a bunch of fun things done with this stamp set, but we haven't even had a chance to play with it. Right. So yeah, that's right. We're going to leadership in Las Vegas. I'm wondering if there are any other friends that will see there. Oh, cute. OK, so they're linking arms. OK, so the reason why I did the purple one first is because I figured I could line up the other one easier. The second one. Oh, yeah, to see through it. Right, especially so. Now we're going to head and decorate them. And I think I am going to do this. This one right here is super cute. It's got like a French hat and a mustache and a scarf. I'm going to stamp that right here so you can see it. And I'm going to go ahead and put that right on the skeleton because I haven't done this before. I'm trying to line it up, but we'll see how it looks. Oh, there we go. Oh, cute. That's our French. Are you going to do the bonjour? Oh, that would be awesome. Bonjour. That's one of the sayings in there. Yeah, they've got a lot of cute sayings in there. OK, there's that one. And then there's a cute hat, too. I think I've got that one. I'm going to go ahead and stamp that hat on the girl. I think I will do it in gorgeous grape. So a gorgeous grape hat and another gorgeous grape with that pumpkin pie off for a second. And there's a dye that cuts out this hat so you can use the dye. OK, well, that looks so cute. Love it with the bats. Now that's a bat. That's a bat. Yes, that's a bat. I know. Are these bats or cats? It looks like a bat. OK, I like the dog, too. The dog's cute.  I think I'll do the opposite in those colors on here, too. Cute. Oops. Little bit of black still on that one, but that's OK. It's just skeletons. It's just an old one. It's just an old one. Oh, that starry sky is part of the colors here. But I've also added gorgeous grape, too, colors, even though the DSP has a lot of starry sky in it. OK, there's our kitty. I like kitties. What can I say?  And dogs. Cute. Let's see. We have the two ghosts there. I haven't decided if I'm going to add any ribbon to this. But you know what I think I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and do a background just on tone on tone. Let's see. We've got all these cute. There is a bat. Actually, that's a bat flying. And that's a bat just has, I mean, there's two different ways you could do the bat. Let's see. What does this say? Boo to you. I think I'm going to do a boo to you in the gorgeous grape. On gorgeous grape. No bones about it.  Oh, cool. That's awesome. I like that. Hmm. I'm just doing boo to you all the way around. I'm on the wrong side, so I don't have any. Oh, what do you need? I need adhesive. adhesive on that ear. Thanks. Yep, we're sitting on the opposite side of what you said. I know I. Boo to you. There we go. Oh, cute. I want that. I think I need some kind of cute ribbon, but that's OK. I'll get that later. I like how you've used.  So this one actually is not a treat. I know. But I think we could do a lot of fun things with the treats. I know. We'll have to keep playing with this later when we're a little more. We can grab all of the extra stuff we want. Yes. Do some. We don't have as many parameters when we can go out of the suite a little bit, huh? Yeah. OK. There we go. Boo to you. OK. I'll show mine. OK. No bones about it. Oh, cute.  Awesome. So cute. Yeah, I think there's so much more that we can do with this one. I think you're right. We need to get some treat bags out and some treats. Ring pops, all that Halloween kind of stuff. So we will share our cards on Facebook, on our Facebook group, Stampin' Jills VIP group. Beth always puts the link down in the description. So go see. Go watch there and you can get a still image of our cards. But we'll keep playing and we'll post some fun treat ideas too. Sounds good, can't share. Yes. So.


Good morning. I hope everyone was well. It's the 7th of January and just got 7am here in London, so let's get this briefing kicked off and look ahead of the day. I'm looking at the S&P chart here on a daily time setting. As you can see despite some of the sensational headlines coming off Capitol Hill last night. S&P not really blinking on the futures here just nudging up and edging up and right up there around the highest point ever traded, which was set on Monday and indeed tested again yesterday. But as you're waking up, you're going to be seeing sensational images here as Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol building on Wednesday and they forced lawmakers and staff to seek shelter. Of course, it was destructive what was the certification of President-Elect Joe Biden's victory. Quite incredibly, you know, armed supporters of Trump, there were four deaths, unfortunately, that occurred during the protests. Although it looks like only one of those deaths was related to actually a gunshot and a woman, unfortunately, died and shot by police as their cry forced its way in so that out of the representatives, the three of the deaths were apparently more due to medical emergencies, too much info beyond that at this point. But Carl was eventually restored after the National Guard was called in and more than a dozen people were arrested. You know, this was the joint session, you remember, to formally count electoral votes and certify the election result and it got going again, the formal process got going again after all of this kind of was the protests were removed. I don't know what to say about this other than it's kind of perhaps Trump's final hurrah in a way. I mean, the media will be all over it and loving it, but actually what's important for traders is it's not really benefit. This is Trump's final sort of death cry for he steps away from the White House just in two weeks time. So this procedure that was going on in Capitol Hill was all formalities, it's not going to change the result of the election, it's not going to change the fact that Biden is stepping into the White House. That is inauguration in a couple of weeks and so freely from a markets point of view, it's a complete distraction. So I don't really want to talk more about that at all. What is more important and actually, you know, why our stocks up here, nurturing the highs again, well, we talked about this in the briefing yesterday myself and Anthony. This is the kind of blue wave trade, if you like. It's back on and that's because the Democrats took control of the Senate. They won those two. Let me bring up these sort of headlines here. Sorry, that's the Republicans recoiling from Trump. There's violence proved too much and so some senior Republicans have really, of course, you know, forcefully separated themselves from Trump. But yeah, in terms of the headlines with regards to the blue wave, so the Democrats gained control of the Senate. They won both of those runoff elections in Georgia. So they have control, it's 50-50, but in terms of the senators, 50 Democrats, 50 Republicans, but it's the vice president who is, of course, Democrat carries the deciding vote in any event where there's a vote split. So in effect, Democrats have control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate and obviously Biden sat in the White House. He's a Democrat and so this is the blue wave.  Of course, we talked about this in detail yesterday. So I won't go over it other than to summarize that this scenario means that it's just more likely that Biden will be able to get his policies through Congress and that those are policies such as a larger and perhaps a faster and larger stimulus package to fight the corona virus situation. It also means other stuff. Again, I talked about this yesterday, so I won't go over it too much, but the NASDAQ certainly underperformed yesterday compared to the S&P, and that's because the idea is that Biden, with a clear pathway on getting legislation through Congress with this blue wave is more evil, we think, to implement more regulatory burdens on the tech industry. Plus, we talked about this whole idea about how the inflationary trade here is back on, more stimulus may lead to a more rapid increase in inflation and we talked about how this is negative for, in one respect, it's negative for tech stocks and it's kind of good for value stocks. You're seeing a rotation trade out of tech into value. The other thing is, one good example yesterday, Biden, of course, is very much pro, green, environmentally friendly policy. Now that he's got his blue wave, it was the renewable energy stocks that were just on an absolute tear yesterday. What I look at quite closely is called renewable energy. That was up almost 13% on the back of this, on the back of the Democrats taking control of the same with that win in the two run, obviously, in Georgia. We talked about this yesterday. What I wanted to touch on and what we didn't talk too much about yesterday was what's happening over in the dollar. We'll come back to the stocks in a minute. But if we look at the euro dollar here, then certainly, let me just get rid of these two lines and tidy up this. Obviously, this dollar weakness trade has been the theme of the last couple of months and it's certainly been extended and ongoing yesterday. Again, euro dollar punching to new highs here for the year. But if you look back, let me go back to a monthly view because this move yesterday to new highs for the year, and I guess new highs, that's not only for 2021, we're actually only four days in here, but it's new highs compared to last year as well. And in fact, it's higher than anything the year before. And actually, you've got to go back to 2018 and actually very start 2018 to find the last time this currency pair was trading up at these levels. And so I think the dollar weakening story very much is aligned with the blue wave and Biden being able to get his policies through much more easily and the Democrats being able to set their agenda much more easily now with control of both axes on Capitol Hill. So this dollar weakening scenario, I would expect to continue to clear the clear targets is 125 and just above that 125 80, which as you can see is a very prominent, very proud double top here from the start double triple top from the start 2018. Okay, so we're expecting that dollar weakening theme to continue. What else are going on in the headlines then? Well, just looking back this morning, actually, it's a positive data out of Germany. So Germany, Germany manufacturing is unexpectedly increasing by 2.3% month by month in November. And that follows that follows an upwardly revised 3.3% jump in October. So beating expectations are good news on the data front this morning out of Germany. Well, it wasn't so good. And the focus for tomorrow really will be the US labor market where we're going to get the December 2020 non farm payrolls result that will be announced tomorrow afternoon. And the kind of one leading indicator for that is the ADP US private sector ADP employment number that came out much worse than expected yesterday and printed negatively, which is of note just because that's the first negative print since if you like the first wave of COVID, which was back in April. And of course, you know, we know what's going on here. And certainly in the UK, we're in full lockdown.  And so we should anticipate this as restrictions are tightened. We should anticipate that the labor market will suffer in the near term.  Here's the payroll chart just as a reminder in November. We've got a 245 print. And of course, you've seen a wild, the most remarkable year in history really for non farm payrolls data. We'll talk more about this tomorrow because this payroll data is tomorrow. Oil headlines. We talked about this another big story of the week and oil buoyant near 51. But let's take a look at that chart right now. So we talked about this yesterday.  Or sorry, yesterday afternoon, we had a draw down for the US Department of Energy inventory data. But of course, the big story isn't that big story is the sound ease. And how they've very surprisingly decided to cut production by a third of one million barrels day for the months of January and February was we go into a bit more sort of lockdown situation in Europe and indeed in the US. So oil, we're along with the weakening dollar. Sanities cutting production draw downs in US inventories. This is that kind of trio of positive catalysts that's enabled oil to punch up through 50 bucks. And we're trading indeed up above $51 this morning. So let's just take this time to bring it back and see the last time we were trading up at these levels. And you've got to go back to, let's see here, yes, February, so the 24th of February. So as that sort of coronavirus scenario started to kick in, then that's where we had this big sell-off. We had a big marker point at the end of 2018, which I've drawn in here at 42.36. And you can see that that obviously we've got the gap lower here off the wave one of COVID. And then you can see that as things recovered through the summer, this kind of presented a very nice barrier of resistance. And we broke through that in November as we started to see maybe like the end of the tunnel off the back of all the vaccine use of course. And it's kept hiring, kept hiring, kept hiring. And this latest punch has actually taken us up through the triple bottom area or up through and around the triple bottom area from 2019. So this is an important technical here that's been kind of breached. And so targets on the upside, technically speaking, would be this high point that we had in February. But that's right up at 54.50. So, you know, there's quite a distance to move to get up there. Of course, you know, looking back at 2019 as a whole, then the high fat year was right up at 66.5 or way off there. And, you know, certainly not thinking $60 of my $66 at this point. That might be a scenario that plays out only if the vaccine rollout is very successful. And at the moment, so further updates on that, the US reported that they've now managed to vaccinate 5 million people. That's with the first dose, but 5 million, you know, that's still behind the expected sort of rate of vaccination. So that whole vaccination program, as you have seen in the press, is being rolled out, but some bottlenecks are just slowing things down. So traders are hoping that those bottlenecks will be alleviated and the rate of vaccinations will be able to ramp up quite rapidly. And obviously, the hope is that this will enable economies to open up and develop economies first. They're the ones with the vaccine first and these big giant developed economies like the US. Successful vaccine rollout leading to opening up the economy in a much more positive, strong, more near a term rebounded economic activity. Add in the blue wave, and that's what investors are hoping for. Of course, with oil, on the demand side, that would be a very positive situation. Of course, any hiccups or road bumps or speed bumps, sorry, in the vaccine rollout will then that demand side equation starts to turn negative again. If lockdowns are being extended for longer periods, then of course this is a negative situation. Also, then, you've got to think about the supply side and, you know, the Saudis so far have committed to a couple of months worth of quite aggressive cuts.  But it will be interesting to see what the Saudis say and what is now more frequent monthly OPEC plus meeting. It will be interesting to keep track on the Saudis stance as we get into February because that will have a much better idea. We'll be a few weeks on and we'll be able to see the rate of vaccinations and are they speeding up. And then we'll be coming towards the end of that deadline of January and February where the Saudis said they'll cut production by a million miles. What are they going to do in March? What are they going to do in April? So obviously the supply side is important to monitor but for now, for oil, this is really key. Very significant from a technical point of view and of course very significant from a fundamental point of view with that Saudi news yesterday. So up above 50 indeed, up above 51, you may well see a push towards this next target on the longer term of 54-50 in the coming weeks and the couple of weeks ahead as long as that vaccine rollout doesn't disappoint. And as long as the Saudis don't start talking about increasing production again in March too soon. Let's return back to stocks. The one thing I wanted to just kind of look at with you is T-notes. I talked about this yesterday back to the kind of blue wave and the Democrats winning those seats in Congress. So here we've got T-notes. I talked about this yesterday. This was a very important situation because we've got yields rising. This is all part of that inflationary trade story of course. And we have yields rising and yields on the 10-year T-notes in the US punched about 1% briefly yesterday. From a technical point of view from the price perspective, this has taken things down below that June low. We had a little bit of a low point back in March, which was at 136. The low point that we've had yesterday was at 137. We don't have a new low for 2018, of course. Sorry, 2018. We don't have a new low for 2020 because obviously here you can see the T-notes trading all the way down below the 130-hand. Well, it's up to 2020, but if I zoom in on the daily chart now, you can see that it's been added to this morning and draw that line in there to shift that one a little bit. And so very, very important from a technical perspective. This feeds into that whole story we were talking about in yesterday's briefing about how this is arguably negative for tech stocks, those big giant tech stocks that are carrying a huge amount of kind of key free cash flow. So future valuation of free cash flow, if yields are rising and inflationary expectations are rising now, that's a negative for that value. So very important here, definitely keep an eye on T-notes. Key break technically here. So two couple of really big breaks technically, one on oil, one on T-notes. You've got your dollar kind of marching and continuing its trend and I'll end on stocks here because the S&P is up here around the highs. Again, from a technical perspective is continuation of the upward trend, of course. And as it stands, despite all this kind of chaos and quite remarkable scenes that we've had on Capitol Hill last night, it doesn't matter so much. It's not an important thing. It's not going to alter or change economic performance in the United States. And therefore ultimately, you know, with the FOMC last night, by the way, where the minutes really didn't throw up much. So the minutes from the Fed's meeting, this is their meeting back in mid December. So the minutes were very consistent with the kind of statement that we had at the time. So really not much surprise at all, officials unanimously backing, holding. The pace of asset purchases is steady when they met last month, with some open to future adjustments if needed. So nothing out of the Fed last night, certainly no negative surprises. And so whilst the media is pumped for Capitol Hill chaos, traders and investors are ignoring that and looking through that. By then, we'll be here in a couple of weeks. We have a blue wave. The blue wave frays on the inflationary expectations of the rising renewable energy stocks are on a march. You've got a rotation at a tech and into value stocks. So that's the theme of it and nothing to change. So that's it for today's briefing, guys. Enjoy your session and I will catch you later because very much.


When I started reading the course about special relationships and holy relationships, I think most people who read those nine chapters from 15 to 24 about special relationships and holy relationships, they still are thinking in terms of persons and bodies. What they really want from the Holy Spirit is a romantic holy relationship. Quite frankly, you know, they're like, okay, I'll read your book and, you know, it still talks in there as if there's two in the healed relationship, you know, and they call upon the Holy Spirit together and then the Holy Spirit answers immediately and then it gets very disjunctive and it's kind of a way of taking you in and then the deeper you go in deeper and deeper and deeper you get certain to a turning point when you're working with this going deeper you start to see it's about the holy instant about the present moment about letting go of everything that you believe is good and real and true like nothing I see means anything you start off the first lesson to try to unwind you from everything you believe about the world and then you get to a certain point where the ego will go you you don't want to do this course because he's going to ask you to let go of interpersonal relationships at some point because he's saying God did not create this world and God didn't create the body and what's the one thing that interpersonal relationships are based on is bodies when even you ask people are you in a relationship or not you know their answers probably gonna have something to do with proximity of bodies what bodies do together and the frequency of contact of bodies you know and if there's not a lot of that going on it's gonna be like no I'm not I'm single if there's a lot of this going on a lot of contact the more the better if there's a lot of this going on whether you're gonna say oh I'm in a relationship now and and you know and that applies like a commitment and so on and so forth well you can see the Holy Spirit's taking us to a whole different perception of everything that we perceive and everyone we perceive where in the end we're opening this spiritual vision the vision of Christ which takes us beyond the body entirely you know back into spiritual awakening


Welcome folks, this is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We have five days a week, we go seven hours a day, we go 24 hours a day on the internet at TFNN.com. Always remember folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever you focus on grows so everyone's having a great day, safe day, make it a great week folks. Don't take anything personally. Your truth is personal to you. Your own opinions and point of view reflect your own agreements and are personal to you. It's no one's truth, but yours. Not good wise. Let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industries up 26. NASDAQ up 13, S&Ps up three. Gold contract up $3.50 trading at $14.72 an ounce. You get Silver up five cents, $17 fat, late sweet crude off 86 cents, $56.86 a barrel. Notes and bonds, you get the 10 year up five ticks, 129.10, 30 year up 13 at 158.23, King dollar, King dollar down 213 ticks, trading 97, 787. The euro is at 110. The yen is at 108.65 and the pound is at 129 to one US dollar. Our phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. Give us a call folks. One note's going on in your world and the world that the S&Ps, what do you have?  We take a look at the S&P, the spy out here, all-time high. We hit an all-time high on Friday. You closed out Friday in the spy at 311. You're at 312.09. Yep, you got the contraction of volume but the bottom line, you continue at higher price. And the X100, same type of setup inside the end of the X100 and the three Q's right now trading up 30 cents. You're at 203.21. Dow industrials also the same inside the Dow industrials. Dow industrials right now trading up 24 bucks at 28,003.0. Small caps, different ballgame. It's just showing how basically weak the small cap index actually is. You got the IWM is down 38 cents, just can't handle price. So you still have monster divergence there. Small caps, they topped out in July of 2018. Yes, that's what you heard folks, July of 2018. So pretty wild. Gold contract, gold contract out here. Rejected lower price out here this morning. Caught a bid, bottom line is that gold wants higher price and we'll see how this baby's shaking out but quite a day out here today. We're at 14.56 this morning. You're at 14.71. You're at 321,000 contracts and anything inside this 14.70 gets you in the higher range once again. Silver, same type of set up inside the silver market. Silver also caught the bid out here. Silver right now is trading at a price point up six cents.  So we'll see if silver itself can bust out of this range. Gold bottom line is out of the range. Notes and bonds, the note and bond market folks, this is just amazing actually. Continue to want higher price and it's pretty intense how this thing is basically shaking out. You have the 10 year note up five ticks today. Now last Thursday, it had some big strength that got back inside the higher range. We're at 129.09 right now. End the 10, that's looking to go up to that 132 mark. We look at the 30 year, 30 year is set up the same way, meaning that we got an additional 12 ticks out here with 158.22, that 30 year is looking to get up into this 165 area. Last Thursday also this jumped right back in the higher range. Anything above 157.17 gets you inside that higher range and that's exactly what they did. The 10 year yield right now, we are at 1.81, that's where we're at. Bottom line looks like it wants to run down to approximately the 1.6 area. King dollar, what do we have a king dollar out here? King dollar right now. Come on baby, let's see, where are we at? There we go, maybe. King dollar is 97.795. So we've had three days down in King dollar. King dollar looks like it's gonna get down to the lower end of this range. It's been in 97.141. And what that's about today folks is that the pound has actually caught a bid today over in the UK. Pounds up 66 straight in 129.57. The Euro hasn't really caught the bid yet. If the Euro catches the bid then you can see that dollar come down with some conviction. The Euro is up 23 ticks out here, one 10, not bad bottom line though, because the dollar index is 60% of the Euro. It's when the Euro basically gets cracked that you'll see that dollar go much higher. Oil, let's go over to the oil market out here. This oil market continues to have a tough time and let's go, we got the December contract right now. We are trading down 89 cents, we're $56.83 that failed the whole price out here today and dramatically lighter volume. So I expect we're gonna see inside that oil market it's gonna try to basically first get down into this 55 area. If you get there with conviction like we traded down today from the 58 to 56 then you're gonna be down the very bottom of this consolidation was the $50 mark. What's so intriguing about the oil market right now is that you have Saudi Arabia come out over the weekend folks. So Saudi Aramco was going to be the biggest IPO in the marketplace to ever take place bottom line. That's not gonna be the case right now.  Then the actual individual investors, they changed the rules at the central bank that you're gonna be able to do double leverage to buy it. Bottom line is they're gonna push out 1.6 trillion to 1.7 trillion. What that's telling me is that we get so much oil out here because they are doing huge amounts of pressure to get this IPO out on the market. I suspect once they get it out on the market of course then they can, it's only 1.5% of the company but then they can use that as paper. They bottom line is they gotta get it pushed out so I expect you're gonna see more downward pressure on the oil market because what we have had, there's no two ways about this is that we've had the aspect that bottom line, oil has had a really tough time at the $60 mark at all, all above. And the companies themselves they're having a hard time staying in business at oil being 55 or 60. So I suspect we're gonna see some more destruction inside of that whole sector. Dow, Dow Industries right now up 25, you get the NASDAQ, I'm 14, S&Ps are up three and a half. Those are all at all time highs folks. Stay right there folks. Okay, my name is Steve Rhodes. Coming up next we're gonna be talking to markets. Come right back.


Hello people! I'm Ginny Metherill and I am a fourth generation witch so I have really known my staff, been learning it at my mother's knee. The video we're going to do today is on the third eye which is located in this area here. The third eye is what you would use to communicate with spirits, ghosts, demons, fairies, other supernatural creatures. This is a really important part of witchcraft because it is the third eye that makes you see the magic in the world around you and understand, communicate, learn and cast magic. However before we get into this video I would just like you to listen to this very short message from the rather magnificent Snoop Dogg. This is SnoopDLWG. Subscribe here to my homie Ginny Metherill. Yeah! Right let's get straight into this video and start with what the third eye actually is and where did it come from. It started up in Eastern philosophy and religion so Buddhism, Hinduism and Chinese religions. They had this idea that the third eye could be opened and this would help you communicate. So this area then represented your inner eye or your perception, your ability to see further than the world that as it is around you. So just as some people are short-sighted and some people are long-sighted, with your third eye you may well find that your ability is better at certain things than others. For example I am particularly good and very fabulous at communicating with spirits and supernatural beings. Very good, very good, ghosts and demons and things. Very good. However my coven friend is extremely good and I can't do it, not like her anyway. I can only do it very vaguely. She can see everybody's auras and she can see them and see their colours and see what shape they are and see how they need work etc. So what might you expect when you open your third eye? Well as I said earlier it depends on where your particular strengths are but here are the main areas in my opinion that opening your third eye will do for you. You may find that you are much better at foretelling the future. This could be through reading palms, it could be through reading tea leaves, tarot cards, playing cards, some people even read bumps on heads. I mean that's not something I can do but it depends, it depends how you are drawn to foretelling the future. You might find that your ability to detect the supernatural world around you goes from here to here so you can therefore communicate with the fairies of this world and the natural earth spirits of which there are many and varied. I'm quite good at that actually, I quite like the earth spirits and the fairies and the fay and I'm going to do some videos on them when I feel a bit more confident that my YouTube audience is not going to think that I'm completely insane. They might think that already but I don't think I care. Another area that you might find is very heightened is your empathy. It goes from normal empathy levels to right up the top. Another aspect of the third eye would be to differentiate between just standard normal hibbledy-hobbledy dreams and actually dreams that are telling you stuff. John Lennon was very famous in that he woke up one morning and wrote yesterday and then woke up another morning and wrote Let It Be both of which absolutely huge hits. He had dreamt of them. He was a bit psychic anyway wasn't he John Lennon. He was slightly out with the fairies at certain times but certainly very into the occult. So how do you do it? Well firstly you need to cast a circle for safety. Now the reason that you cast a circle is not only for protection and safety but it also magnifies your clairvoyant ability and if you don't know how to do this I'll put here my casting a circle video but once you've learned how to cast your circle you need to just interject in this circle the words I cast this circle for safety let everything that happens within it be in my best and highest interest and say that as you're casting the circle and that'll be it. That'll be enough. That's all you need to do.  Now you need to concentrate on this area here with your mind for as long as you feel comfortable and in my case because I have a attention span of a goldfish it was about 20 seconds but it might be for you 10 minutes 20 minutes half an hour five seconds it's as long as that you feel that you've really connected to the space here and that you feel that your mind and this area are in focus together so when you feel that you have focused and you're concentrated on this area while sitting in your circle I want you to take a note of your feelings and your sight and the keyword here is difference does anything feel different do you feel scared for no apparent reason do you feel excited anxious loved I want you to take note of these feelings and write them down likewise with your eyesight now I start to see ghosts and spirits because the air goes fuzzy is the best way I can explain it it looks a bit like a heat haze off a road you know it's sort of shimmers and that to me is a sign that there is a ghost present or you know something else and it's not always a ghost it's sometimes something quite different now the best way to then continue with this opening of the third eye is to practice your psychic ability so if you read tarot cards you know do out a spread read tarot cards see how much better you are while sitting in the circle having opened your third eye if you are an empath you can sit in a circle and see if you can feel the feelings of any other person in the house or how far away they are if they're in the next door flat can you feel what's going on there can you pick up on those emotions your third eye will enable this and because you've concentrated it and powered it up in a circle you should be able to feel something now if you feel and see absolutely no difference what I want you to do is to sit quietly and let your imagination flow your imagination will tap in to your intuition and help you open that third eye and concentrate on the areas that you need so for example if you let your imagination fly and you think oh I want to see a fairy then that is probably the area that you will be drawn to eventually and you will start communicating with the fey if you let your imagination flow and it says oh I really want to foretell the future then you know get a tarot deck or something along those lines I don't know read some tea leaves see how you get on that is probably the area where you're going to go needless to say you have to practice every day you don't need to cast a circle every day it's good to do it in the very beginning because it helps magnify and increase your clairvoyant abilities it also gives you a measure of protection because you can be attacked whilst you're psychically vulnerable so I like you to put a circle around yourself as protection now when I first started opening my eye it got quite such a tension headachey here it wasn't just a real nasty headache just like I could feel this area I feel it working and it was did pulsate somewhat and feel a bit sore now I work through that if you want to work for as long as you feel comfortable if you don't like pain stop take a break and do something else and then go back to it when I first started this it did really hurt quite a lot actually I do remember thinking how I was quite painful but I was putting a lot of psychic energy through my third eye at the time and what I was doing as far as I remember which I will maybe tell you in a future video for those of you that feel that you want to communicate with spirits do please speak out loud because they can't mind read necessarily you know they might not be that type of spirit so talk to them and say hello spirit I'm very pleased that you have come what is your name tell me what you want and then try and pick up any emotion that you feel so you might feel suddenly great sadness or you might feel the need to go and search for something these are emotions that spirits can pass on to you and this is how you start to communicate with them and again practice travel with the third eye is that sometimes the information comes so fleetingly to you that you really got to grab it before it disappears and it will be honestly the very very very very first thing that you thought of not the second thing because you've discounted the first thing you know you think treat oh no it's water and then you carry on thinking about water it'll be tree so you have to be very careful and very clever in sifting through the information that's going to come at you because you've opened up that ability to receive the information I also have a slight word of not caution maybe it's not really warning it is more caution once you open your third eye you can't can then completely shut it down you can learn to tune in and out of it but you can't close it off it is a bit like and this is the only comparison I could come up with so I do apologise if you're offended by this but it's a bit like when you first smell dog poo you can never unsmell that dog poo and as soon as you smell it again you'll always recognise the smell of dog poo so when you first open your third eye you will know you might not realise at the time but when you then sort of shut it slightly down and then come back and open it you're no instantaneously whether it's open or not you will understand and if not listen to your intuition because your intuition will be telling you will be screaming out at you what you must do and must not do also once you've opened your third eye you then have to learn to control it now this is done through practice it can be a little disconcerting you know I have forgotten to shut down the psychic vibrations that I'm putting out to everyone and then I walk through a crowd of people and I'm assaulted on all sides because I'm terribly empathetic and get all their emotions and that feels a bit like being blown over by a hurricane so you do need to find tuner but that is something I will go into in another video because first of all we're just getting used to the opening of the third eye do this sit in your circle sit comfortably let your imagination flow if you're not feeling anything and we'll take it from there anyway I hope you enjoyed this video I really enjoy making it actually and because it's one of my pet subjects the intuition of the third eye in my next video we will go into stage two and develop your technique for increasing your clairvoyant power let me know in the comments below how you're getting on with opening your third eye and I will see you in part two
