Portfolio News

Market Flip Flop

European markets edge higher despite the new US-China tariffs coming into force.

US markets are closed for Labor Day holiday.

Britain Bumbles

Brexit story gets a new round of complication as leading Conservative Party members threaten to break away.

If No Deal is blocked by MPs it looks like an election is coming - both events means that Jeremy Corbyn starts to look like the next Prime Minister - yikes. I am thinking that Boris Johnson thinks parliament will not back whatever deal he can negotiate - so he has to keep open the "no deal" window rather than face another postponement.

Bought

Post NL (PNL.AS): Dutch Postal Service. Reinvested dividend for stock

Sold

DB X-Trackers FTSE MIB (DBXI.DE): Italy Index. Certainty about new government drives an uptick in price. Chose to bank the small profit and stay away from Italy - never really going to fix their problems. 1.4% profit since May 2014.

Compass Group PLC (CPG.L): Europe Food Services. 11% profit since June 2019 with 1.8% of that profit given away with the drop in the British Pound compared with Australian Dollar

Cryptocurency

Bitcoin (BTCUSD): Price range for the day was $718 (7.4% of the low). Price pushed through resistance at $9954 after coiling up below for 4 days. Need to see the previous high taken out at $10,650 to feel any confidence about a new run higher.

One trade closed for $603.60 (6.2%) per contract profit. This covers CFD financing costs for a few weeks.

Ethereum (ETHUSD): Price range for the day was $11 (6.5% of the low). Price also pushes through resistance at $177 though with not quite the same conviction as Bitcoin price.

Ripple (XRPUSD): Price range for the day was $0.01133 (4.5% of the low). Price keeps working away from support into the middle of "no mans land" and confirms a higher low reversal.

Surprised to see the GBP held $1.20 with everything happening but not sure how long that will last!

Market seems to have that as the floor for no deal Brexit.
