U.S. Dollar Bull Market Trend Forecast 2009 Update / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Nadeem_Walayat
This analysis seeks to update the existing U.S. dollar analysis of January 2009 by evaluating whether or not the U.S. Dollar bull market remains intact and to project a trend for the USD into year end. The sideways trend of the USD for the past 6 months in the wake of the "Quantitative Easing" headlines that has repeatedly brought the Dollar collapse proponents back out of hibernation on each down leg has shown little deviation from the road map of 20th Jan 09 as illustrated by the below original price chart.

U.S. Dollar Pressure (Countdown) Toward Breakdown / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The Paradigm Shift continues to displace the power centers and introduce new ones. Those bright souls who ignore the shift will be well prepared for systems that soon do not stand. The Americans are the last to know, oblivious to the global shift in progress. They continue to seek a return to normalcy, when old conditions are as gone as a baby’s innocence during teen years. The crux of the matter is that the United States is no longer in control of its fate. Meetings with creditor nation leaders result in new orders given, and new policy directives enacted.

The U.S. Dollar Comes to the Rescue of Consumers / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Paul_J_Nolte
The almighty dollar has come to the rescue and just in the nick of time, as our hero – the consumer – was nearly out of cash and unable to spend to keep the giant economy moving. So the government waved their magic wand and poof a few billion dollars were created and tossed to those wanting to be ecology minded, who then traded in their big ugly vehicle for a nice new, more efficient one. Voila, not only do we have economic growth, but too the specter of employment to create these cars and all the other items the consumer will want now that the can spend again.

EUR/USD - Continued EUR Weakness? / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: ForexPros
The EUR lost more ground yesterday dropping below support at 1.4160. That level has now become upside resistance.
A drop below the recent swing lows just above 1.4100 indicates another swing lower and a target of 1.4040. Further support is at 1.4000.
A push above 1.4170 will try to test recent swing highs at 1.4220. Target beyond this on a further rise is 1.4320.

U.S. Dollar Index the Key to Financial Market Dynamics / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Guy_Lerner
Over the next couple of weeks, I will attempt to put together an asset class road map that should help navigate the weeks and months ahead. In a nutshell, I would have to state that I like commodities over long term Treasury yields and equities, and the key driver will be the falling US Dollar Index.

U.S. Dollar May Soon Confirm a Secular Bear Trap Trend Reversal / Currencies / US Dollar
By: The_BullBear
In the last BBMR we focused on the US Dollar and concluded that a major break of very long term support was imminent and that a substantial devaluation of the greenback vis-à-vis its major currency pairs and commodities was likely. It’s always healthy to revisit one’s conclusions in light of developments in the market. Recent action has caused me to reevaluate and question the bearish view on the USD and commodities as well. I think that there is a valid bullish case to be made for the Dollar as well as a bearish case for gold, silver, oil and other commodities. I will explore these views in this report.

U.S. Dollar Crash in September/ October 2009 Rumours / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Christopher_Laird
There have been disturbing stories/rumors going around that the USD is poised for a crash episode in the Fall. The stories are basically anecdotal. One suggests that US embassies have been told to gather a year’s local currency in their host country. That is one example.

U.S. Dollar Stage #1 Breakdown, Lost Control & Economic Mythology / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Jim_Willie_CB
A great question to ask is: what was the first important chapter written in nonsensical Economic Mythology? It gave powerful intellectual protection and coverage by economists, and resulted in widespread acceptance. The answer is clearly the break in the Bretton Woods Accord, when in 1971 Nixon broke the gold standard and permitted the USDollar to float on a cloud of arrogance and on a wave of liquidity that is best described as debt mixed with counterfeit. Little known then, but better known now, is the role of the USMilitary in propping up the value and acceptance of the USDollar.

U.S. Dollar Crash Has Started as Pressure Mounts / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Frederic_Simons
The US Dollar has shown further weakness during the last days. The support at about 78 in the US Dollar index has been breached to the downside. Technically, this means that the downside target of about 67 has been activated, and that downside momentum should be building up during the next days.

The Decline of the US Dollar in the Forex Markets / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Andrew_Abraham
It has been a negative period for the US dollar in the Forex Markets. When we are trend following we really do not look at the fundamental back drop ,but it seems evident. Look at it this way… with all the debt taken on and more spending by Govt, it doesn’t make sense? If we personally ran our households this way, we would not be living in our households.
