- Recession Fears Could Delay UK Deficit Reduction Plans January 26, 2012On Wednesday, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that the UK economy contracted by 0.2 percent for the final quarter of 2011. Economists had predicted a slight increase of 0.1 percent for the last three months of the year. Despite the feeble ending to the year, the latest ONS data shows overall growth for 2011 was a mediocre, but still positiv […]
- UK Prime Minister urges EU leaders to be bolder January 26, 2012As part of the Davos World Economic Forum, UK Prime minister, David Cameron is urging his EU counterparts to follow Britain’s example. In his words: “In Britain we had to be bold”. In a message to his European counterparts, Mr Cameron argued his government’s efforts to tackle its deficit had “earned credibility and got (the UK) ahead of the markets”, and eur […]
- Fed Extends Near-Zero Rate Pledge; Hints at More Bond Buying January 26, 2012Yesterday, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement extended the current near-zero interest rate policy another year to the middle of 2014. The FOMC also addressed the resumption of the Fed’s bond buying program. The Federal Open Market Committee “recognizes the hardships imposed by high and persistent unemployment in an underperforming economy, an […]
- EUR Top is Where Now? January 26, 2012The market sure did not see this one coming from the Fed. An “unambiguous and aggressive” statement from US policy makers is certainly laying the groundworks for QE3. With unemployment elevated and inflation subdued, Helicopter Ben can certainly put this option back on the table. The Fed has set a long term inflation target of +2%, a level they expect to fal […]
- A “Dovish” FOMC January 25, 2012The “Exceptional” language was maintained by the FOMC after keeping rates on hold. A dovish meeting has US yields and the dollar sliding. This FOMC’s statement shows one major change from the December meeting, it now expects exceptionally low levels for FED Funds rate through late 2014. Basically, policy makers have extended their timeline by 18-months. Curr […]
- Yen Falls to 2-Month Low January 25, 2012The yen fell to a two-month low against the dollar following news that Japan had recorded its first yearly trade deficit since 1980. Japan’s manufacturing sector is still struggling with problems stemming from last year’s earthquake and ensuing tsunami with some large production facilities still offline. The drop in production has impaired sales of Japan’s p […]
- Deja Vu EURO January 25, 2012The single currency price action has us trading back and forth, with the lows getting higher and the sellers becoming a tad more aggressive at the top. Fundamental releases and Greek bond discussions have thus far failed to worry either the bull or the bear. Market commentators must be finding this market boring, the longer term technicals and fundamentals h […]
- Japan Expected to Post First Trade Deficit in 30 Years January 24, 2012Japan is expected to post its first trade deficit in more than 30 years due largely to the disruption of last year’s earthquake and tsunami. The country’s automotive industry was particularly hard-hit and production lines were forced to shut down and global inventory fell to record lows. The resulting meltdown at the Fukishima nuclear reactors continues to d […]
- EUR on Supplements? January 24, 2012Still no Greek deal, but optimism remains that debt laden Euro-zone members will avoid a messy default. However, worries over Portugal needing fresh help has managed to temper some of this outright enthusiasm. FX price action has lacked some of that “depth” as Asia has been mostly on hiatus for a second day because of the Chinese New Year. Even the US 2-year […]
- US Debt Prices on the Back Foot January 23, 2012Weekend discussions between Greece and its private lenders did not result in agreement as many had anticipated. At the same time, it has not been able to derail global equities entirely. It seems that investors have shunned the safety of US treasuries for a fourth straight session on hopes that a ‘Hail Mary’ deal by the Greek government is imminent. With the […]
