BREAKING NEWS
Dollar Drops in NY Afternoon Trade as Fed Governor Janet Yellen said the US Trade Deficit to widen as long as dollar stays at present levels, and there would only be a turnaround in the trade gap if it involves the dollar. Statements by the Fed that imply further dollar declines are a rarity. Fed Chairman Greenspan always hinted at his inability to determine the real exchange rate of the dollar considering the swelling deficit, but he never factored in a dollar decline as a requirement to a slowing in the deficit since he always showed confidence in foreign demand for US capital. The impact could be further compounded ahead of Friday's July US trade figures, which follow a record breaking $55.8 billion in June.
EURUSD shot up to $1.2237 from $1.2190 in minutes after the statements

VA Raven// Good point..we've not been in surplus since Columbus was a corporal. JFK wanted to bo back on the gold standard, the gov/treasury wanted to do away with the silver standard. Why? So they could print as much bogus money as they wanted. Now the U$D is backed by less than 7% precious metals. The idea of having real currency died with JFK. With real currency (100% backed) there would be no trade deficit (well, yes there could, but you'd have less money!). Do these parts of the picture fit together easier now?

Evidently I was right a couple months ago, Fed CAN'T raise rates at this time, and it jumped the gun in my book when it left 1.0%. If Mr. Fedspan continues to raise rates it would quell any growth the U.S. has made and they're still not out of the dark, not by a long shot. The Fed & govm't are doing doublespeak for some reason:
FACT 1: The dollar has weakened 8.3 percent against the euro and 6.4 percent against the yen in the past year.
FACT 2: Snow: "I often reiterate our policy, which is the policy of a strong dollar". Get a grip!
FACT 3: If U.S. has strong $, growth slows because exports slow, therefore trade def. soars. So Fed CAN NOT raise rates yet unless they want to destroy what the econ has meagerly gained. They've goofed before however.
Personally I think the rate increase from 1.0 was to quiet a whining EZ, nothing more, just political garbage to keep EZ quiet & they really didn't have any intention of raising rates more for at least 6 mo - 1 yr. Fedspan never SAID they would, now did he.

Tomorrow's trade deficit is set to be a bad one, but as long as it's not worse than last month, it should be a "good" one. Believe the PPI tomorrow shold be the data to trade on which would work for dollar either way.
Mind you, we don't remember when was the last time that US trade was in surplus..... 1804?

The dollar pared its gain against the yen and fell against the euro after Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Janet Yellen said after a Seattle speech that the long-term current-account deficit may exceed 5 percent of gross domestic product.

The U.S. current account deficit widened to a record $144.9 billion in the first quarter, equivalent to 5.1 percent of GDP, as companies imported more to meet the demands of a stronger economy.

Strong Dollar

Treasury Secretary John Snow repeated his stance that the U.S. supports a ``strong-dollar'' policy. The dollar has weakened 8.3 percent against the euro and 6.4 percent against the yen in the past year.

``I often reiterate our policy, which is the policy of a strong dollar, a policy that we have stood behind since my first days in office,'' Snow said. His comments came in an interview with CNBC.

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, said mujahedeen, or holy fighters, have taken control of much of Afghanistan and driven U.S. forces into the ``trenches,'' according to a tape aired on Al-Jazeera TV Friday.

Wearing a white turban, the bespectacled Egyptian surgeon said ``southern and eastern Afghanistan have completely become an open field for the mujahedeen.''


``As for the Americans, they are now lying in their trenches, refusing to come out to meet the mujahedeen, despite the provocation of attacks, hits and carjacking.''

GVI Survey Results:
The latest survey GVI results were interesting. Actually any result is interesting. What stands out this time around is that the respondents appear to have come to a consensus on a couple of our tracking questions. Over 75% now feel that Bush will beat Kerry in the presidential election and over 60% now expect a 2.00% Fed Funds Rate at year end. That is two rate hikes of 25 bp at two of the next three FOMC meetings. Other than lower, there is no clear view on where oil prices will end the year. More and more, the status quo is being predicted for the eur/$ and $/yen for the end of December.

I had not expected the rally we expereinced yesterday. If my analysis of the cyclicla picture is correct ti cannot continue and we should see an equally rapid move back down.

will be announcement at 1100hrs GMT - expectation is that for the BOE to leave rates unchanged at 4.75% as house prices have started to cool off - in this case i would guess a short on GBP will be a good move. On the 1% chance of a hike of 25bp, we might see the GBP rally further

The WSJ's Fed watcher [GREG IP] penned an opinion piece on the web late yesterday suggesting the FOMC could pause in the rate hiking cycle in either Nov or Dec. He cited no official sources for this view and stuck with the consensus view of a 25bp hike on Sept 21st, though he took from Greenspan's text that a breather could be on the cards late in the year. This was mainly based on Greenspan's positive outlook for continued benign inflation, with the mixed Beige Book that followed the Fed chair setting out a less than goldilocks scenario of weaker retail sales and patchy jobs growth. US Treasury yields fell sharply towards the end of NY play yesterday, with the 10yr down below the rate prevailing ahead of the Aug payrolls data last friday of 4.19%. This is bearish for the Dollar going forward if yields continues to undermine yield based demand for Dollars. The 10yr debt auction today will be eyed amid weak indirect bidding yesterday in the 5yr,

Did anyone predict the EUR/USD was going to jump 100 pips after Greenspun made those comments about the US economy? Did anyone see that coming?

The euro jumped 1.7 cents to $1.2192 after Greenspan’s speech recognized that “Consumer spending slowed materially, and employment gains moderated notably”, departing from the mainly upbeat remarks made in previous testimonies. Although Greenspan did say the “expansion has regained some traction”, which is sufficient to preserve chances of a September rate hike, the admission of economic weakness at the top of the speech was enough to hurt the dollar.
Did anyone's system see that coming? Did anyone make some money?

thanks for the comments (Gold Coast, that is exacly how I made a successful computer programming consultancy firm but does the same "roadmap" apply to investments, I guess is what I'm asking) ... this (stocks/options initially and later forex ... who knows why) has been an obsession for me since I was first introduced to options 10 years ago.

A friend of mine just went out with his brother to create their own financial planning and investment business and he is constantly in contact with me ... "wait for a few months after Buffet kicks the bucket and buy berkshire" ... on and on (btw I can't complain they have handled my wife's TSA masterfully)

But, coming from a purely technical point of view, is there much call for a "technician" in the trading reportoire of major institutions.

Dont be obsessed about getting work in institution....working for bank or large fx fund you just become a robot of policy with no potential to develop your own style or make an impression...instead keep developing your system ..if you are succesful with your system you will not need to work for someone else...become sucesful on your own will make an impression on your peers and can lead to a lot of consultancy work not just for large net worth individuals but actual banking institutions....outsourcing is the word these days...take this advice...hard work initially but it sure has lots of rewards with flexibility.....it sure works!..good luck with your endeavours....

Wisconsin tim// Likely you would have to work within a bank for years first, have the director(S) know you well to judge your personality to be considered. FX rooms are sort of political yet have folks who have an aptitude for trading (obviously). If you have X years of experience and have kept meticulous provable records of your trades and if your trades are within conservative parameters possibly a money management firm would be the place to go. Otherwise, just trade and make more money than they could ever pay you!

What they want Sydney plainly is to kill. A self serving lust for blood. 4 terrorists kidnap 12 people and kill them. Those 4 men bring all hades and pee down on an entire set of countries, millions of victims in a sence, not just 12. Those four men comprise a millionth of the population, are almost impossible to find yet they involve whole groups of countries in a bloodbath just so they can get off on killing 12 people. Bin Ladin..one man. One man has brought the entire Islamic peoples collectively into war, directly and indirectly, with the aid of actually a handfull comparitively speaking other crazy fanatic nutsy freaky people. Amazing. Freeking amazing. Hitler. No one liked him, not even the krauts, Dad was in intel towards the end..few Germans liked Hitler if any. All were simply afraid of him and his henchmen once he turned into a Mr. Hyde wolf from Dr. Jekyl. But it was too late..he murdered millions, Jews and otherwise, put an entire world into war just for one man's lust for blood and power. Why have a war, just remove the stench and take out the tyrant!

Terrorists don't even have to have a cause, they just make one up..they demand outrageous things because they don't want negotiation, they want to kill. Ultimately they are suicidal..the ultimate big thrill. They are sick sadists who "say" they are Islamic and are no more followers of true Islamic doctrine than so called Christians (fanatic ones) who kill their family members because "Jesus told me to". It's the same fanatic insanity. You can NOT negotiate with nor please terrists, they love to torture the mind and kill...hence the Frenchmen still being held from a country that resisted the Iraq war from the get go and the dozen Nepalese (harmless country) who died recently trying to help Iraq! Logic does not = terrorism. Terrorism = sadistic insanity.

Inflation expectations rise
September 9, 2004 SMH
Strong June quarter national accounts data and healthy consumer confidence pushed inflation expectations up in September, after a fall in the previous month, the Melbourne Institute said.
September 4.5 per cent,
The median of inflation expectations typically exceeds the inflation rate by 2.0 per cent.
"The proportion of respondents who believed that prices would actually fall or stay the same rose in the latest month, and was slightly higher than the average of the previous six months," the Institute said.
The rise in expectations this month occurred alongside ongoing evidence in recent weeks of strength in the economy, in particular as represented by the June quarter National Accounts.Australian real gross domestic product (GDP) rose by a seasonally adjusted 0.6 per cent in the June quarter, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reported last week.Over the year to June, GDP rose 4.1 per cent.
In addition, the Australian dollar remains around ten per cent below its recent peak in February 2004, and consumer confidence measures remain strong the institute said.
The median inflation rate expected by managers and professionals this month was 4.5 per cent.
The mean expected annual hourly wage change for all occupations rose by 0.6 percentage points to 3.4 per cent in September The paraprofessionals and tradespersons group recorded the biggest rise in September, rising 6.3 percentage points, followed by the plant and machine operators group (up 0.5) and managers and professionals group (up 0.1).

Sydney, I'd say its pretty safe to say they collectively have been for a while. Not intelligent. The forex implications are massive going forward. Ironically, this could lead to agressive price behavior especially when/where oil issues are tangibly impacted. The only diluting factor would be damage to the global financial infastructure such as on/after 911. In this case since there is preparation, I doubt the dilution in liquidity occurs. More agressive selling of some pairs upon any significant successes for the terror side, but short lived.

Overall trend in jobs market numbers still quite strong, so there's still solid case for another RBA rate rise, he says

yeah great Tarheel, much better to have hindsight trades posted here I agree.

Russia targets top Chechen rebels
The Russian army's Chief of Staff, General Yuri Baluevsky, said Moscow planned to launch pre-emptive strikes on terrorist bases "in any region of the world". A spokesman for Mr Maskhadov, Ahmed Zakayev, described the threat as a "disturbing signal for civilised countries" and said it set a dangerous precedent. "It is a warning to other European countries that Russia may come and carry out an assassination on your soil at any moment," he said.

Could be more threatening than IRAQ.

For those who want a more personal and controlled environment, we have GVI for that purpose.

Frankly I have no interest in the majority of the the copy and paste info posted here. Perfectly capable of doing my own fact finding. The majority of financial news is the expressed opinion of that individual journalist, nothing more.

We prefer to let the forum self-police itself when possible but sometimes, like now, we step in and strongly suggest getting back to the market.

As to what is relevant and what is not. This is not for us to judge as different people look at the market in different ways and what one person may find irrelevant, another may find valuable and vice versa. So, filter out what you don't find useful and take note of what posts interest you. .

mine was at 1.2029 LOL.

This thread is one reason I (and other I am sure) prefer NOT to post trades, suggestions, etc. on this or any other forum. Data, news releases, articles or to help with question like "What time is the ... ", sure thing. Trades, opinions, advice no way.

SanFrancisco tg 00:31 GMT September 9, 2004 Reply   
Just do your thing and dont focus on who you think is cheating the forum in my opinion, unless its really an atrocity like fraud advertisement or praising the 911 event. Just let it go and get on with business guys.

tg - would you think it is of use if I posted now that I bought EUR today at 1.2030?

nyc jk 00:21 GMT September 9, 2004 Reply   
and by the way, posting factual news stories is beneficial to the members of GV. it is the posting of alleged trades 2% away from current market that wastes space and downgrades GV.

ab - TRUTH ? when NZD was at .6425, if you posted at that time that you covered your short NZD there, that would be called TRUTH and a nice trade. when NZD is at .6535/40 and you post that you bought at .6425 it can only be one of two things a. BULLSH*T or b. UNPROFESSIONAL take your pick.

Well, I don't know if that is good or bad. But at least I know that I will have company in the Traders Ward of the FX Nut House. Feel as though every position I take has to be reversed to make a profit.

So I am going with the philosphy of " Don't Think Just Trade "
