British Pound Renewed Weakness / Currencies / British Pound
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
The Macro Trader’s view:
On the 30th July, 4 weeks ago, we wrote a piece entitled “How vulnerable is Sterling”, our conclusion at the time was that we thought it not very vulnerable against the Euro, since we judged, based on available macro economic data available at that time, that the UK looked closer to emerging from recession, than did the Euro zone, and in some respects the UK economy compared favourably against the US economy too.

The Power of the U.S. Fed, Deflation and U.S. Dollar Devaluation / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Adam_Brochert
The non-federal, private federal reserve corporation has a no-bid contract to print money out of thin air and charge U.S. citizens money (interest) for this enormous privilege. Their so-called powers are legion and they are the cause of much distortion and inequality in our economy, to be sure.Read full article... Read full article...

Global Economic Recovery Good or Bad for the U.S. Dollar? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Money_and_Markets
Bryan Rich writes: If you’ve followed my commentary on currencies here in Money and Markets, you are well aware of the risk dynamic that has been driving currencies and other financial markets since the middle of last year.
In this crisis environment, market participants have been keenly focused on risk. And the dollar has served as the primary safe haven vehicle for global capital.

A New World Currency, The Valun Mutual Money Plan As Conceived By E. C. Riegel / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: Christopher_Quigley
The current economic crisis has brought into broad focus the failings of Government issued money. As pointed out brilliantly by E. C. Riegel in "Flight From Inflation" and "A New Approach To Freedom", the failure of a fiat currency is that it is issued by institutions that provide no enterprise value and thus cause inflation. Inflation is a tax, pure and simple. Debt monetization is deferred bankruptcy. Bankruptcy leads to usurpation. Usurpation can only lead to either of two ends: war or tyranny. Tyranny will take either of three forms: Socialism, Communism or Fascism. All three metastasize through political money. Its enemy is enterprise money.

Forex as an investment of the future, What is Forex, what is investing, what is the future? / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Elite_E_Services
Origins of Modern Finance - We must reference regulations, because regulations are the framework that the majority of finance operates in. Theories, strategies, and products, which do not fit into regulatory framework, are only hypothetical.
Financial regulations are based on a series of laws created during and after the Great Depression, such as “The Securities Act of 1933” and “The Federal Reserve Act (of 1913) and others. In 1933:

British Pound in Precarious Situation, Government Debt Downgrade Coming Soon ? / Currencies / British Pound
By: Frederic_Simons
A lot has been written lately about a possible US Dollar crash. Currently, however, it looks as if a crash in the world's reserve currency has been averted for the time being. Only EUR/USD trading above 1.44 would put the US Dollar crash alert on yellow again.

The U.S. Dollar is Dying / Currencies / US Dollar
By: LewRockwell
Richard Daughty writes: The Economist magazine had the Buttonwood blog titled “Law of Easy Money,” which immediately gets your hopes up that there is such a thing as “easy money,” which actually exists (just ask Connecticut’s Senator Chris Dodd!), but unfortunately not for guys like you and me who don’t have the political power and grease to extort money and skim taxpayers, which is gratuitously rude and scandalous, I agree, but which only shows the depth of my contempt for the huge, huge, cancerously huge, ridiculously and dangerously incompetent, ignorant and stupid system of governments in America, as exemplified by the despicable Congress and the even more despicable Senator Dodd.

Bottom Formation for U.S. Dollar? / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The next few days of action for the dollar index and the PowerShares DB US Dollar Bull ETF (NYSE: UUP) will be critical to the near- as well as medium-term technical outlook. The ability of the dollar to climb back towards a test of key resistance at 79.50 and 27.70/75 will tell us that the dollar in fact is “using” the month of August to create a significant bottom formation.

Japanese Yen Fractal Path for the U.S. Dollar? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Adam_Brochert
Though I keep hearing how we're different than Japan and their lost two decades of deflation (or as close to it as we seem to get in a fiat world), we are making the same foolish mistakes: protecting the financial/banking keiretsu that caused the current mess, burying the bad debt under a cloak of secrecy, and engaging in a massive quantitative easing campaign to "stimulate" the economy.

Canadian Government Economic Stimulus Threatens the Loonie / Currencies / Canadian $
By: Money_and_Markets
Bryan Rich writes: caught its cold. And the currency of this key U.S. trading partner has since become a victim of the ebb and flow of global risk appetite.
For instance, last year, when uncertainty was high and money fled to the center of the global economy, the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar fell sharply.

By: ForexPros
1.4260 proved to be a strong resistance level, stalling the EUR surge yesterday. Currently the pair appears to be forming a continuation pattern.

Initial target is 1.4310 followed by 1.4380.

U.S. Dollar Unusual Behaviour Despite Continuing Risk Taking Environment / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Money_and_Markets
Bryan Rich writes: Last week the U.S. reported better-than-expected employment data. And the markets liked it. Stocks rallied. Yields advanced. And the dollar actually moved higher.
A move higher in the dollar on good U.S. economic data might make perfect sense in most environments. But in this crisis environment, it’s unusual …
