I just lost my connection to the internet
I Use cable with 2 network cards and 3 Operating Systems installed on one comp and almost the same on two others.
I"m Comp spec with 13 years experience.
And I'm telling you, when you say something on this forum which is deleated and you lose your internet connection that means they trace your hardware address and pinged it with unexceptable amount of packets, which means they disabled your network card or modem for a long time.
Goood Luck

I'm out of here

Wouldn't higher commodity prices lead to a preference for tightening?

The U.S. Dollar Index is computed using a trade-weighted geometric average of six currencies.
The six currenices and their trade weights are:

Currency : Currency Weight %

Euro 57.6

Yen 13.6

Pound 11.9

CAD 9.1

Swedish Kroner 4.2

CHF 3.6

No way neutral monetary policy level is 4% with lagging investment activity, mediocre capacity utilisation , low job creation and above all high commodities prices. That may have been neutral in the early nineties.

Found this in Investors.com this morning, "Fed officials have stated that they want to get interest rates up to a neutral level -- a level where interest rates would not create inflationary pressure in a growing economy.

What got the attention of Fed watchers in the past week was the fact that some Fed officials put an actual number next to the concept of neutrality.

San Francisco Fed president Janet Yellen estimated on Thursday that the neutral Fed funds rate was between 3.5 percent and 4.5 percent. Read story on Yellen speech.

On Friday, Cleveland Fed President Sandra Pianalto said a neutral rate was somewhere between 3 percent and 5 percent. See full story.

"Those are pretty high numbers. Those would cry out for a series of Fed actions," said Chris Rupkey, economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi."

Thanks AM. That's what I was looking for.

Do you have any info how the DXY index is computed/formed? (I mean the "cash" index of course. Not its futures).

Are there equivalent indexes for the EURO and YEN ?

Aren't you amazed with their stranggling technique at 131.80 eur/jpy? it's like super twisting mark there.... but they have no choice, otherwise, the jap number will not be good anymore this year.

I just wonder what those eur/gbp longers are thinking now, quite cold....

can't get your points, can you elaborate in simple terms?

SAS, I think you're looking for this (DX):

http://www.fxstreet.com/nou/usdindex/us_dollar_index.asp
http://www2.barchart.com/dfutpage.asp?sym=DX

I've been thinking about trading this myself. Not sure whether to believe my broker, or the real money guys. Although IMHO the real money guy's have it sussed, and a short is in short order.

Check out the 200 WMA below.
