U.S. Dollar Stability Choppy and Temporary / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Ashraf_Laidi
Sterling leads the list of currencies losing against the dollar and yen amid widespread expectations the Bank of England will exercise its quantitative easing expansion option by purchasing an additional 25 bln in assets without seeking govt approval. Concerted selling in emerging market bourses further elevates the risk-aversion lustre of USD and JPY.

Fiat Currencies Race To Zero Acceleration A Certainty / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: Captain_Hook
Just when you think you have it figured out – bang – something changes. And present circumstances are no exception to this rule. Last week it appeared conditions were forming to sponsor a significant sell-off in stocks / equities this summer / fall, where a combination of sentiment and internals were moving into alignment in this regard. Not out of character in a mature market environment however, speculators stepped up put buying at expiry late last week, which has materially altered the sentiment backdrop, and correspondingly the prognosis for stocks moving forward.

Fiat Money in Death Throes / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: Professor_Emeritus
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away that power, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear -- as they ought to in order to make this a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let them continue to create deposits." ~ Sir Josiah Stamp (1880-1941), one time governor of the Bank of England, in his Commencement Address at the University of Texas in 1927. Reportedly he was the second wealthiest individual in Britain.

Japanese Yen: Resumption of the Bull Market ? / Currencies / Japanese Yen
By: Frederic_Simons
Until the middle of 2007, the Japanese Yen was notoriously weak, as the selling of this low yielding currency was funding the purchase of higher yielding currencies, ranging from the British Pound to the Australian and New Zealand Dollar and many emerging market currencies. The so-called carry trade yielded investors the interest rate difference between what they paid for borrowing Yen, and what they earned for the investment in high-yield currencies, ie between 3 and 10 percent annually. And since the carry trade was mostly done at a high leverage, the carry trade became a fantastic cash-cow during the days of easy money and complacency.

Temporary Bounce in EUR/GBP Now Possible / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
A few weeks ago a long term 38.2% support in EUR/GBP was violated, adding weight to the medium term bearish argument that we have been favouring. However, without this view being threatened, there is a decent chance for a shorter term bounce, subject to a certain resistance yielding.

Green Shoots Recovery Forex Markets Fatigue & Intermarket Setup / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Ashraf_Laidi
There are more substantive fundamental and technical grounds that the recent pullback in equities and global bond yields will extend throughout Q3 to the benefit of the US dollar, which will likely stabilize, rather than wage a rally such as in H2 2008. Current explanations for a stronger dollar in H2 based on US recovery preceding rest-of-world are off the mark. The past 7 years have proven that each time US data emerged on the stronger side, global bourses pushed higher-at the expense of the greenback. While we back the notion for a stronger USD in Q3, our rationale is based on the following:

U.S. Stocks, Dollar Decline on China Calls for World Currency / Currencies / US Dollar
By: GoldCore
The People’s Bank of China report is very significant news for the international monetary system and for the gold market. Their call for a new global reserve currency or super sovereign currency will likely lead to further pressure on the dollar. Despite gold having risen and then fallen in value today, the news is another bullish factor supporting higher gold prices in the medium term.Read full article... Read full article...
