Prelude to Bernanke?:
Reply
FED: FRBNY Pres Dudley remains dovish. He talks of adjusting QE up or down, unsure of which way next, but warns of mkts overreacting to taper and posits Fed might want to hold, not sell, MBS to prevent a rate rise. He says Jun'11 exit advisory is dated and Fed should update thinking on bal sheet, possibly with eye on how to "mitigate potential costs and risks." Says FOMC "could decide to indicate that it will avoid selling the MBS portfolio" during early stage of normalization or perhaps not sell MBS at all to avoid a sharp increase in long rates. Challenge will be getting "the initial tightening of financial market conditions... commensurate to what we desire. There is a risk is that market participants could overreact" or move too fast. That would threaten fin'l stability, also "make it harder to calibrate mon policy appropriately." He wants QE "to respond flexibly to a changing econ outlook," but not disrupt the economy. "Based on what we have learned to date at the zero bound, I believe that it will be important for us to anchor all communication" around Fed's core principles of getting a better econ and low infl.

uk inflation coming up in half an hour. i thinking cpi could come in slightly less than expected at 2.5% or less (consensus 2.6%). dollar is still in profit take mode so cable may not suffer too much. eurgbp should get a boost however but would look to fade a move to 8500 as tomorrow come boe minutes and retail sales. the later may be poor, but the minutes may well inidicate a shift in voting and a brighter picture (data during that time was very encouraging) so gbp should be boosted by that.

Charles Evans: No rush in downscaling QE:
Reply
The Chicago Fed President Charles Evans indicated on May 20 when speaking to the Chicago CFA Society that the job market has turned into a good progress, which still needed more time for evaluation though.
Evans signified that he held no brief for taking measures to downscale QE in the Monetary Policy Conference from June 8 to June 19. However, he demonstrated his optimistic attitude to the outlook for U.S. economy and belief in its true recovery.
Evans claimed that the U.S. economy had always been highly resilient, especially under the environment of the antidromic fiscal policy and global weakening economy. In the aspect of inflation, he was also pleased to see the CPI rising more closely to the Fed’s 2% goal.

Gold: Sell, sell, sell!:
Reply
By Greg Canavan from BullionVault, May 20, 2013
Time to sell gold? Leveraged traders sure think so...
ANOTHER DAY, another beating for gold and silver investors, writes Greg Canavan at The Daily Reckoning Australia.
After trading lower all day Friday, Asian futures markets today opened in a panic, with leveraged holders no doubt getting margin calls over the weekend. The result? Stump up more cash or sell. Clearly, selling is the preferred option.
It seems like a lot of punters are trying to pick the bottom. They're buying in the expectation of a bounce...and when that doesn't eventuate, more selling takes place.
In gold, we're now closing in on the low from April at around US$1320. Will it hold or head lower still? We have no idea. And we certainly wouldn't be utilising the futures market to make a bet on it.
But we do know that for every seller there is a buyer, whether it's in the futures market or the physical gold market. Some are happy that prices are again back at levels from a few years ago. They're the 'strong hands' and they're taking in what the 'weak hands' throw into the market.
All this reminds us of 1999. Back then you had financial market euphoria in the midst of a new internet age. The tech bubble was in full swing. Stocks – especially anything tech related – were a sure thing. They went up day after day on nothing more than hope and expectation.
Meanwhile, gold was in the doldrums...a barbarous relic well past its time. In the modern age of pets.com and new paradigms, gold was an anachronism. But as hindsight was to show, 1999 represented the nadir in gold's long bear market.
Today, we are in a similar state of market euphoria. Everyone is jumping on the central bank bandwagon. They're making bets that can't lose. Downside risk has central bank protection (the Bernanke put) and the upside is unlimited.
What could possible go wrong?
Against this backdrop, institutional investors and speculators dump gold futures to go long S&P futures. And it's a great trade at the moment. It 'makes sense'. As in 1999, who sees the sense in owning gold when faith in central banks (or new technology) seems all-pervasive? Right now, it seems like an unnecessary hedge – so sell, Sell, SELL!
That may be the mindset of the speculator, but it's a different story for the physical gold advocate. According to reports, physical gold demand is as strong as ever in India and China. And last months' price plunge led to huge demand from the 'retail' investor all around the world.
So while the 'institutional imperative' (Warren Buffett's reference to the short term pressure that institutions face to 'do something') forces the hand of big money, the small investor takes a longer view. They see a world distorted by cheap money. They see a highly fragile financial system. You don't get a stock market melt-up when the underlying financial foundations are sound. You get this type of price action when there is something very, very wrong with the system and the price signals and incentives it gives off.
On the face of it, it is entirely rational that markets are soaring on the back of unprecedented central bank largesse. And it is rational that speculators see less need for a hedge in such circumstances, and so they sell gold. But we are pretty confident that hindsight will prove this trade to be a very big mistake. And the biggest mistake is that most players think they can get out before everyone else.
The other similarity between now and 1999 is a little more obscure. It relates to the extremely low 'gold forward offered rate' (GOFO) that was prevalent in 1999 and...now. The GOFO is the interest rate one must pay to borrow US Dollars using gold as collateral. Alternatively, it is the interest rate charged by holders of US Dollars to obtain gold short term. The lower the rate, the greater the demand for gold, or the greater amount of Dollars bidding for gold.
Last week the 3-month GOFO dropped to the lowest level since 1999 (when the three month rate actually went into backwardation...a highly unusual situation where the owner of gold gets paid to swap their gold for US Dollars).
So once again, despite (or because of) falling prices, the gold interest rate structure is telling you demand for physical gold remains very strong.
But there is one important difference worth considering. In 1999 market interest rates were much more 'normal' than they are now. A series of recent articles in the Financial Times' Alphaville blog argue that a super low GOFO simply reflects super low rates everywhere. It doesn't signal strong demand for physical gold, but just an attempt by risk adverse institutional money to protect capital in a deflationary environment.
It's a complex argument, and a bit beyond our simple powers of comprehension. Being a simpleton, we tend to think the right interpretation is the simplest one. And the simplest interpretation of gold is that it will protect your wealth in times of severe monetary distortion. Full stop. End of story.
That gold doesn't seem to be doing so now is a product of markets sending wildly false price signals – just as the S&P500 and the Dow Jones are sending a false signal of a US economy in good health. The falling gold price is sending a false signal about the underlying health of the financial system. And tragically, when the majority of investors succumb to this false signal, it will likely turn around warn of the opposite development.
We have no idea when this will happen, but to give your imagination a kick along, we include this comparison of gold's recent performance with the 1970s' bull market (sourced from Jesse's Café American). From 1975-1976, the gold price fell 50%. The yellow line in the chart below represents the latter part of that correction. As you can see, a steep price fall was followed by a rebound, then another fall to new lows.
This last dramatic fall obviously cleared out the last of the weak hands, and set gold up for an explosive move higher in the years to come.
So far, the 2013 move in gold is following the 1976 script. If that continues, expect new lows very soon, followed by a sharp reversal.
Don't bet on it though. History rarely repeats exactly. We offer the comparison only to show that we've been here before. And also to make the comment that if you want to ride a bull market through to the end, you must first endure years of pain...of being 'wrong' and feeling like a fool.
The market is not so much a test of intellectual strength as emotional strength. If you don't have conviction and belief in your position, the market will take you out the back and beat you senseless.
And we're guessing many gold investors are this week wondering when the beatings will stop.

Yen rises on Amari's comments : May 21, 2013:

Market Review - 20/05/2013 23:02GMT
Yen rises on Amari's comments
The Japanese yen rose against the greenback on Monday after Japan Economy Minister Akira Amari said on Sunday that further losses in the yen would have negative effects on the country's economy. The greenback was pressured throughout the day on expectations that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would hint to trim its bond purchases this week.
Japan's Amari spoke on a Sunday talk show on NHK and said 'it's being said that the correction of the strong yen is largely completed. If the yen keeps on weakening a lot more, it will have a negative impact on peoples' lives.' He also added that if the weakening of the yen does have a negative impact on living costs, "it's our job to figure out how to minimize that."
Earlier, the greenback opened lower and tumbled briefly but sharply to an intra-day low at 102.00 in New Zealand morning, however, price pared intra-day losses and recovered to 102.92 in Australia. Dollar remained under pressure in Asia and weakened further in European morning before falling to 102.17 in New York afternoon.
Although the single currency came under selling pressure in New Zealand and dropped to session low at 1.2819 at Asian open, price pared intra-day losses and rose to 1.2878 in European morning. Despite a brief pullback to 1.2842 in New York morning, renewed dollar's weakness pushed the pair higher and price climbed to an intra-day high at 1.2901 in New York afternoon.
The British pound also came under selling pressure in New Zealand and dropped to session low at 1.5166 in Australia, however, cable pared intra-day losses and rose in tandem with euro to 1.5219 in European morning. Price continued to trade with a firm undertone and found a fresh wave of buying in New York morning, pushing the pair higher to an intra-day top at 1.5281 in New York afternoon.
In other news, Japan's MoF panel said 'absolutely no guarantee Japan domestic savings will continue to fund JGB purchases; failure to meet budget-cutting promise cud cause spike in interest rates, offset effects of monetary easing; if interest rates rise in deviation fm fundamentals, that wud damage medium, long-term economic growth.'
On the data front, Japan leading indicators rose to 97.9 in March from 97.6 previously. U.S. Chicago Fed index dropped to -0.53 from previous figure of -0.23.
Data to be released on Tuesday :
Japan all industry index, Germany PPI, U.K. PPI, ONS house price, CPI, RPI and U.S. redbook retail sales.

Amateur investors tap 401(k)s to buy homes:
Reply
In order to get in on hot housing markets, amateur investors are buying up homes and taking risky measures -- like tapping their retirement accounts -- to fund the deals.
"We're seeing many people cash out 401(k)s or IRAs because they want to take advantage of the market," said Sean Galaris of financial services firm LM Funding, based in Tampa. "This new scenario involves people losing significant personal funds since they are financing real estate through retirement accounts, savings and life insurance."
"The decision to take money from your 401(k) is not for everyone,"

Joe its guaranteed to do something soon, up or down, as rba releases minutes of last meeting in a few hours and later still inflation expectations from rbnz.

red thank V much for the tech picture.
This scenario is time sensitive (ish) and really, I had expected 1990 to have been struck by now..... it hasn't so far, so that pushes back the time for a reaction. Missed the bus so as to speak.
It IS linear, just not a straight linear :-)
If it doesn't get cooking soon, I'd look more toward London open for a reaction.
Possibly an upmove in about 1 hour... but nothing on the scale I was looking for... GL

AUD/NZD 1 day: Still correcting April-May’s large decline, and should reach 1.2130.
AUD/NZD 1-3 month: The trend decline to sub-1.1960 should resume once this corrective bounce is complete. Relative fundamentals (e.g. RBA easing to 2.0% vs RBNZ stuck at 2.5%) favour the NZD medium term.

Audnzd has been building a base for good few days imo. Futures positioning and BoNZ rhehoric suggests a rebound is possible. Couple of decent tails on daily candles support view of base. I have a position just above 1.20 and will stop just under 200 month sma at 11940. If i am right i will want to scale in above 12125/50. Potential for a multi figure move as this pair has 9 weeks of losses so a spring back will be quite violent when it eventually occurs.

Wells Dry, Fertile Plains Turn to Dust:
Reply
Forty-nine years ago, Ashley Yost’s grandfather sank a well deep into a half-mile square of rich Kansas farmland. He struck an artery of water so prodigious that he could pump 1,600 gallons to the surface every minute. Last year, Mr. Yost was coaxing just 300 gallons........when the groundwater runs out, it is gone for good. Refilling the aquifer would require hundreds, if not thousands, of years of rains.
A shift to growing corn, a much thirstier crop than most, has only worsened matters. Driven by demand, speculation and a government mandate to produce biofuels, the price of corn has tripled since 2002, and Kansas farmers have responded by increasing the acreage of irrigated cornfields by nearly a fifth.
At an average 14 inches per acre in a growing season, a corn crop soaks up groundwater like a sponge
the High Plains Aquifer is giving out

Event risk today: Today’s local highlight will be the RBA minutes (from 7 May meeting) which will be combed for clues to any follow-up rate cut. NZ has migration. There’s Fedspeak tonight from NY’s Dudley (dove and voter).

tic toc tik tok ABN to Cut 400 Jobs After First-Quarter Profit Drops 17%
love those "customers with increased risk awareness": "House prices have plunged by about 20 percent since 2008. They might not start to recover until 2014, according to ABN Amro estimates. Mortgage lending by Dutch banks is equivalent to about 90 percent of the country’s economy, double the average in the euro area, the central bank said in April.
ABN Amro had 153 billion euros in mortgage loans in the first quarter, with an average loan-to-value ratio of 82 percent. That was unchanged from year-end as the declining house prices were offset by additional repayments by customers with increased risk awareness. Loans exceeded property values in 21 percent of the outstanding mortgage values as of March 31, ABN Amro said."

Maybe Holland is the stilt that when it finally breaks it pulls and shreds the Eu and euro apart IF only the customers with increased risk awareness pulled their deposit accounts out of their banks before they they get the Cyprus treatment lesson

notice that, with the exception of Calif, the highest prices for Gas are in the "Heartland". Diesel is priced higher than gas. It's planting season in the midWest....all those tractors and trucks and pick-ups.

this Sunday.
According to AAA Oklahoma's gas price tracking website, on Sunday, the average price in Oklahoma City for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline is at its highest point ever, $3.963, breaking Saturday's price of $3.952, which was also a record high.
"It appears at least part of the reason for these breathtaking price spikes is limited gas supplies caused by a couple of refineries in the upper Midwest going offline," said Mai. "But these shortages have only impacted selected locations. For example, the average price for regular gasoline in Texas today is $3.43, which is 47 cents below that of Oklahoma. And Arkansas' average today is 48 cents below Oklahoma's."
In the contiguous 48 states, six have gas price averages Sunday above $4 per gallon: Minnesota, $4.272; North Dakota, $4.204; California, $4.057; Illinois, $4.05; Nebraska, $4.031; and Iowa, $4.002.
