U.S. Dollar the One Investment That Might Be About to Bottom / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Graham_Summers
As I’ve noted several times on these pages, the US stock market and US dollar are trading at a near perfect inverse correlation. With stocks extremely overbought and reaching a critical point of potential resistance, any bounce in the dollar could kick off a rapid collapse in the US stock markets.

Bernanke’s Grand Strategy to Let the U.S. Dollar Fall / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Larry_Edelson
By now it should be abundantly clear to you that my warnings are coming to pass. Gold is acting firm, having made a new 12-month high above $1,000 an ounce, and within a whisker of a new record high.
And while it might not fully blast off yet, in time, it will — to well over $2,000 an ounce … then even higher to $3,000 … and ultimately, probably by the middle of the next decade, even to $5,000.

U.S. Dollar Up While Crude Oil Slips / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Ok... which is the chicken, and which is the egg? To find a starting point, let's look at the key timeframe during the major market turns that occurred duing Feb. and March 2009. Crude Oil prices hit a low (with equity prices) at $44.01, while at the same time risk averse investors finally bought enough dollars (from Dec, 2008) in their acute flight to safety. Since then, equity and oil prices have climbed sharply, while the daily Dollar index (DXY) gave up all of its panic flight to safety gains in what looks like a panic back into riskier assets-- perhaps until recently. In the case of oil and the US Oil Fund ETF (USO), prices actually peaked in June, at which time they went into a contracting coil pattern that appears to have ended yesterday with a resolution to the dowside.

New Deadly U.S. Dollar Carry Trade / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Jim_Willie_CB
A powerful hidden engine existed for close to 20 years called the Yen Carry Trade. The engine produced tainted trillion$ for its priviliged participants, whose access to cheap money was assured and whose control of government policy was tight. The engine served two important purposes. It kept the Japanese Yen currency exchange rate low, sufficient for maintaining the export juggernaut that sent products around global supply routes with names like Toyota, Honda, Komatsu, Mitsubishi, Nikon, Toshiba, and Fuji for a string of years. It also supplied a torrent of funds to feed both the Japanese and Western (think US, UK, Europe) financial markets its most important channel in existence.

Inflation Pressures Rising Again / Stock-Markets / US Dollar
By: Guy_Lerner
Several months ago I began to lay out an asset allocation road map. In a nutshell, the US Dollar remains the key asset to follow, and as long as the Dollar remains in a downtrend, then commodities should outperform equities with Treasuries bringing up the rear. In those articles, I never really stated why I like commodities over equities.

U.S. Dollar Imminent Upside Reversal? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Sy_Harding
The U.S. dollar fell to a 12-month low against most major currencies on Thursday, with by far the majority of currency traders believing it will continue its freefall. And on the fundamentals, the dollar doesn’t seem to have much going for it to reverse the trend.

U.S. Dollar Index, The Trend Is Your Friend / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Guy_Lerner
In identifying the Dollar Index (symbol: $DXY) as the key asset class to watch, I relied upon two strategies for guidance to make the call on June 19, 2009 that that this was a "Very Dangerous Time For The Dollar Index". So far, things are working out as expected.

Easy-Money Fed Fueling U.S. Dollar “Carry Trades” / Interest-Rates / US Dollar
By: Mike_Larson
A fascinating thing just occurred in the global interest rate market: For the first time since 1993, it became cheaper to borrow dollars than Japanese yen! The three-month dollar-based London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, slumped to 0.292 percent, compared with the yen-based LIBOR rate of 0.352 percent.

Buy the U.S. Dollar / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Whatever happened to the Yen carry trade?
Japanese overnight interest rates are still lower that the U.S. (10 basis points versus 25 basis points). However, the three month Libor rates show that it has been cheaper to borrow dollars rather than yen. In addition, the yen has been appreciating against the dollar since 2002. So those having to buy back yen (to unwind a carry trade) have had the extra burden of currency appreciation working against them.

US Dollar USD Index Important September Update / Currencies / US Dollar
By: INO
My wife and I just got back from cruising the Maine coastline and we were blessed with great weather and calm seas. When I got back to my summer home and had access once again to the internet, I immediately started looking through the MarketClub charts. It was then that I realized that it has been sometime since I last did a video on the Dollar Index.

U.S. Dollar Entering Free Fall Crash Territory / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Larry_Edelson
Martin’s off this week. So I’m writing you today from Asia with a passionate plea to our country — to its citizens and especially to our leaders in Washington.
We are now the laughing stock of Asia. Our dollars are no longer respected; our ambitions, no longer mimicked.

U.N.’s Anti-Dollar Talk a Problem of Our Own Making / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Rep_Ed_Royce
A new report from an organization called the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) calls for the U.S. dollar to be ditched and replaced with a new global reserve currency. Why is it that the U.N. always concludes that central is better? This discussion, of course, has been prodded by our country's financial crisis and drunken sailor-like spending.

USD Bearish Clamour, The Dollar Won't Go Quietly / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Christopher_Laird
As gold tries to break and hold $1000 it brings up the larger question of how long the USD has to last. At the very least, after the markets digest the debate over deflation which is USD bullish, the question becomes: how long can the USD hold together before it falls in value drastically.

U.S. Dollar on the Move / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The PowerShares DB Bull US Dollar Fund ETF (NYSE: UUP) not only is oversold, but also appears to be the beneficiary of flight-to-safety money flows that is reminiscent of last year's stock market plunge. Concurrent with equity market weakness, the dollar has steadily climbed this morning, which has a familiar ring to it from last year’s stock market debacle, which attracted investors into the “safety” of the U.S. currency.

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...
