The nail in the coffin .. Even Schroeder has publically called for abolishing the EU economic restrictions in favor of a flexible free market system, realizing his mistake. He has been on television with dire warnings should such not be implemented.

I would like nothing better than to see the EU join progress and get people to work.

Here is the comical part of Steve Roach. He's been calling for US economic demise since 2000. The US has set 40 year economic records in the mean time. He is a well known leftist mouthpiece. The ECB forecast just this week has called for expansion, and even in spiraling EZ positive economic data is surfacing.

Just a couple of thoughts.

China may be cooling from its red hot expansion, but the wave of investment and steel orders are clearly expansionary.

The US survived its most profound economic shock in modern history since the year 2000 recession inhereted from the late 1990's and the devestation of 911.

US receipts have increased since 2002, spending is already slowing, thus the budget deficit is poised for reduction.

Japan is recording economic data confirming the end of its 10 year period of weakness.

Roach wants socialists running things. Socialists are responsible for Germany's 10% unemployment and France's 10% unemployment. Compared to the 4% of Japan and 5% of the US, he isn't making any sense.

Purely politically motivated and to be ignored.

heres an old article but still very interesting..... it kinda long so bear with me...

From Al Jazeera, as they run their news free from governmental ideas (US bullying), a news corporation I beg you to consider listening to:

US dollar may devalue further

Thursday 16 September 2004, 21:56 Makka Time, 18:56 GMT

The greenback has already fallen 20% against major currencies.

The dollar is likely to be devalued to deal with the booming trade deficit in the United States, raising the prospect of global financial instability.

The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) published a report on Thursday indicating the dollar`s 20% devaluation against major currencies had so far failed to provide "much of a stimulus" to the US economy.

The deficit was forecast to grow further in 2004, while the impact of expansionary monetary policy in the US will be limited by the inflationary impact of rising oil prices, according to UNCTAD.

"The large trade deficit of the United States is likely at some point to be tackled through exchange rate movements, through a devaluation of the dollar," said Carlos Fortin, deputy secretary general of UNCTAD.

That would "produce immediately exchange rate instability and generally financial instability," he told journalists, warning of a further knock-on impact on global trade with a potential rise in protectionism.

Predictions

Fortin predicted that a devaluation would prompt Asian countries to withdraw their capital from US money markets and to buy assets in other denominations, notably the euro.

"There is very serious cause for concern about the sustainability of the situation," he added.

"The large trade deficit of the United States is likely at some point to be tackled through exchange rate movements, through a devaluation of the dollar"

(Carlos Fortin is an UNCTAD deputy chief)

UNCTAD globalisation expert Heiner Flassbeck said there was a danger that European countries would then be tempted to drive down the value of the euro in order to compete with the dollar.

"Then the only way out would be falling back to protectionist measures. The discussion will definitely come up in the United States," he said.

Factors

Apart from the world`s traditional reliance on the US as a motor of growth despite the rising US deficit, UNCTAD`s report also blamed high oil prices and large disparities in demand for dampening optimism.

Until recently, European countries would have seen a brisker growth in demand that would have reduced the gap with the US economy and improved the chances of reducing the US deficit "without a major depreciation", Flassbeck added.

"I think the time now is over. Sooner or later it is going to happen." UNCTAD estimated that the US current account deficit would reach about six to seven per cent of gross domestic product this year.

The US has been pressing China to float its currency and allow a rise in the yuan and relieve some of the US trade deficit.

But Flassbeck urged China not to float the yuan and "not to give in to international pressure because the result would be totally uncontrollable".

(Gorwell notes: News today that China is invited to the next G7 meeting, whatever that means? To stand a chance in November 2nd elections, Bush needs to show the US economy is prosperous. Trichet today flagged he`d be happy to se an "orderly" reserve currency change to EUR. US corporations took a nosedive on earnings forcasts )

Well per our plans last week are are short Eur-GBP from a very uncomfortable past few days at .6795 tgt .6700, Long Usd-Jpy from 109.85 tgt 115 which looks much better now than it did the other day, and sold $Cad at 1.2975 for tgt 1.2800 then 1.2675.

Only one I am concerned about is the Eur-Gbp right now, didn't see it going as high as it went the other day but kept it anyway. If I bail on any of them it will be this one.

Honolulu ck1 23:11 GMT September 22, 2004 Reply   
LOL...... close... just kidding... heres some news....

The
JPY continues to suffer against all currencies. It is being weighed down by
concerns that economic growth is slowing in Japan, a stubbornly high oil price
and a five day losing streak in the Nikkei index. The USD/JPY closed Wednesday"s
session above the top of the cloud at 110.50 for the first time since August 13.
The top of the cloud comes in today around 110.45 and should offer some support
on the day. Key trendline resistance that is drawn from the May 14 high around
114.85 remains intact. The trendline descends to around 110.80 today and a break
above would add to the bullish case. The final technical barrier in front of
112.00 is the 61.8 fibo of the 112.50/108.75 move at 111.05. This resistance
level is enhanced by talk of an option barrier at 111.00.
Some analysts feel that today will be very quiet due to the Tokyo h9oliday while
others feel that it could be volatile. If Japanese exporters and investors leave
standing orders in the market today it is likely to be a quiet one. The USD/JPY
trades 110.56/61

Canadian dollar hits 8-month high
OTTAWA - The Canadian dollar briefly trading above the 78-cent US level Wednesday for the first time since mid-January as traders bet that Canadian interest rates would continue to rise and remain higher than U.S. rates The loonie later slipped back and closed at 77.89 cents US, up 0.15 cents US. It traded as high as 78.03 cents US just before the noon hour.
Most economists are convinced the Bank of Canada will increase its key interest rate again when it holds its next policy setting meeting Oct. 19. Many also say another rate hike is likely in December. Dodge says more rate hikes to come
That would widen the spread between Canadian and U.S. rates and make Canadian bonds more attractive to foreign investors. On Monday, Bank of Canada Governor David Dodge indicated that more interest rate hikes were coming.
Several banks say the loonie is poised for a much bigger rise in the longer term. Last week, economists at the National Bank forecast that the Canadian dollar would rise to 85 cents US by next year. Scotia Capital economists in their September foreign exchange outlook forecast an 82-cent US loonie by the fourth quarter of 2005. TD Economics is predicting the Canadian dollar will be worth 86 cents US by 2006. And RBC Capital Markets is forecasting an 80-cent US dollar by the first quarter of 2005

"Guys what is your view on the usd/jpy? Is it going to fly higher in the next 12-24 hours?"

My take: upside capped by heavy resistance from first half of August. Downside discouraged by very negative close on US stock markets, which is likely to be reflected by Japanese stock market opening -> no net inflow of USD being turned into JPY to buy Japanese stocks tonight, at least until the Nikkei shows some convincing upside. So for the time being, tight range. If you are bullish Japanese stocks, expect to see USD/JPY return to its daily seesaw (up in European/US hours, down in Asian hours).

FloridA vv 21:13 GMT September 22, 2004 Reply   
We need now a confirmation of a short Eur/Usd which could be shown in a qwik sold out from 1.2280 level, where SMA 50 guards a top and a good resistance level from october 10 and 14 still in play. If this is the case then Eur/Usd may test 1.750 and if broken 1.400 very soon.

Cad is very interesting now cuz it is very close to a multiple year resistance @ 1.27 Question is if it would make the same qwik jump for 600 pips as it was in January this year??

Personally, I wouldn't hold it much above 65-75 area but still not much risk on your end to try and pick a top to see if still in range

USD/CAD extended its slide today, breeching support at
1.2845 and slipping as low as 1.2815. Sky high oil prices, widening interest
rate differentials in favor of the Loonie and rising government revenues north
of the border underpinned the Loonie. Buying of CAD on the crosses was
supportive as well as CAD/JPY briefly broke major resistance at 86.15/20 before
stalling.
Yesterday"s late comments from Goodale on rising government tax revenues got
lots of attention in the press today, but most in the market don"t make much of
it since health care costs will likely absorb much of the windfall. Macro
accounts are growing very comfortable with their long CAD positions, especially
as interest rate differentials continue to widen in favor of the Loonie owing to
the hawkish tone from the BOC. 10-year spreads closed at 55 bp today, the
highest in six months.
Options defense is rumored ahead of 1.2800 and the market is very long of CAD. A
shake out is always a possibility.

In all times and in all countries people (stupid ones) wanted to believe that there is somebody moving something on the skyes thats why there is thounder. and there is somebody who knows everything and gives it free to everybody.

My point is: Ruden Solo am freccken duommen copf who covers up his real intention, if there is some, by his broken english and simple stupidity or stupid simplisity - thats your choice,,, and garbages the space of this forum -- is a FRICK.
But Emaising <:0 !!!! how many people here still hope that some guys named Indonesia Solo-Molo Raden Mas Bus Al Buhabar willl save them from a margin call. NO WAY people. Play your way. If Raden, "Doctor Q????" Choreck-Morek ets... could make money in this business, they would have never asked you to pay for subscrption. You would have never seen them here. (Correction Raden dont ask you to pay for his service, but he innsists to give him a call on his E-mail. Thats a start.

Fwiw, ex commentary on Economist article back in late June 2004 comparing EU and USA //// If you look at per capita rather than total GDP growth, and leave away Eastern Germany, the Eurozone’s growth exactly matches that of the USA (2.1%). Furthermore, the USA and EU countries measure GDP itself differently - if you factor in hedonic price indexing (HPI), various spending counted as investment in the USA and expenses in the EU, you’ll find the Eurozone ahead. (The article also notes that the EU and the USA uses different measures of productivity - the above article refers to a study that, using identical measures and adjusting for economic cycles, the Eurozone productivity growth was higher.) Needless to say jobless statistics also use rather different assumptions.

Snapshot of world economy for everyone -

Europe vs. America: Germany edges out Arkansas in per capita GDP. The Wall Street Journal Opinion Journal ^ | June 19, 2004 | Editorial

The growing split between the U.S. and Europe has been much in the news, mostly on foreign policy. But less well understood is the gap in economic growth and standards of living. Now comes a European report that puts the American advantage in surprisingly stark relief.

The study, "The EU vs. USA," was done by a pair of economists--Fredrik Bergstrom and Robert Gidehag--for the Swedish think tank Timbro. It found that if Europe were part of the U.S., only tiny Luxembourg could rival the richest of the 50 American states in gross domestic product per capita. Most European countries would rank below the U.S. average, as the chart below shows.

The authors admit that man doesn't live by GDP alone, and that this measure misses output in the "black" economy, which is significant in Europe's high-tax states. GDP also overlooks "the value of leisure or a good environment" or the way prosperity is spread across a society.

But a rising tide still lifts all boats, and U.S. GDP per capita was a whopping 32% higher than the EU average in 2000, and the gap hasn't closed since. It is so wide that if the U.S. economy had frozen in place at 2000 levels while Europe grew, the Continent would still require years to catch up. Ireland, which has lower tax burdens and fewer regulations than the rest of the EU, would be the first but only by 2005. Switzerland, not a member of the EU, and Britain would get there by 2010. But Germany and Spain would need until 2015, while Italy, Sweden and Portugal would have to wait until 2022.

As I feared the bull rush did not have enough steam to follow through yesterday and the bears took advantage and pushed the price down to the important support (1.2200-20) for the eur/usd pair. This has been a sacred area for the bulls and the bears for a while now. I don’t think the bears are through with this move yet and if 1.2220-2200 is taken then we could see the key support taken out. For now the resistance (1.2260-70, 1.2290-2300) will be what use to be support. Intraday indicators are still bearish, mid-term indicators are bullish and long-term indicators are bullish also IMHO.

Well to be it using the old hindsight, it seems pretty obvious we had some larger players on what SHOULD have been at least neutral USD news re: interest rates DRIVE the markets long AGAINST the dollar YESTERDAY taking out diffrent levels of stops along the way stopping around 1.2350. Since then of course we have had retracements. Also of note that if operators can't take you out on your stops they have no chance to make the spread on a new possie so of course it is to their advantage as well when this volatility occurrs.

UK clearer demand has helped cable to further push the envelope of
its recovery from an intra-day low of 1.7875, with the three-digit Dow loss
lending support.
Resistance is located at 1.7952 (Asian session low), 1.7986 (Asian session
high), and 1.8010/20 (offers within the latter window capped the pair early
Europe).

U.S. stocks getting belted and STILL the USD holds up. The little USD sell off post Fed hike was just a great opportunity to buy USDs. All those dollar bears out there can drag out the tired old story about the external deficit or even that Europe is gonna hike soon (it's not) but sooner or later they are going to have to cover their dollar shorts. Higher short term rates are helping hold the dollar, and should continue to do so. Question: how long before those carry trades get cut. Answer: not long.

If Germany installs the basis of the economic reforms Schroeder is now pushing for which fly in the face of the EU restrictions there will be a resounding economic benefit. I think this is a pivitol issue for the next 5 years for the eurozone. US jobs are growing, small business is growing, receipts are increasing and deficit is to lessen, latin american countries are seeing some growth, asia looking good, china will only moderately slow down and investment/growth is going to grow. The EZ is the lag.

A kiwi doesn't mean "dumb bird". The Kiwi is a bird, a flightless bird which is native to New Zealand. Apart from New Zealander's before affectionately refered to as Kiwi's, there is also a Kiwi fruit which are Chinese like goosebury's and taste nice too.

nh 01:52 / Thx for that reminder. What is interesting are the "virtually inevitable that shocks will result in some combination of higher inflation and higher unemployment for a time." I am eyeballing that relationship myself. From this chart, it would appear that ccies follow bonds contemporarily. And bonds follow crude... which raises the Q of when crude prices become self correcting as economy slows and demand for crude follows dragging crude back down (and causes FED to take a break with its hikes binge in persuit of neutrality). Not sure I would necesserily want to extend that logique to oil up -> dump bonds -> buy u$d tho. :-)

Sep 22 6:00AM FRENCH BUDGET Govt sees 2005 public sector deficit 2.9 pct of GDP UPDATE

(updating with further budget forecasts, breakdown of spending plans)

PARIS (AFX) - The government expects France's public sector deficit to fall to 2.9 pct of GDP in 2005, under the ceiling required by the Maastricht treaty, according to the draft budget for 2005. The document confirmed last night's announcement that the budget is based on estimated GDP growth in 2005 of 2.5 pct, unchanged from the estimate for 2004 growth, and on inflation of 1.8 pct. The 2004 public sector deficit is still expected to breach the stability and growth pact for the third year running at 3.6 pct of GDP. Overall spending is projected at 288.45 bln eur, up from 283.69 bln this year on net receipts of 242.95 bln, producing a budget deficit of 44.93 bln, narrowing from the 55.08 projected for 2004. Total GDP is seen at 1.698 trln eur, up from 1.627 bln in 2004. Economists agreed the government was certain to forecast a public sector deficit of 3.0 pct of GDP or lower after reassurances from ministers over recent weeks. They questioned however whether this reflects a shift in structural spending or if it is thanks to the one-off windfall the government will receive from Electricite de France and Gaz de France in return for taking over the groups' pension funds schemes post-privatisation. The government confirmed yesterday the government will receive a minimum of 7 bln eur from the scheme in 2005, equivalent to 0.4 pct of GDP. Economists say the windfall could potentially rise to 16 bln eur, depending on how much of EDF/GDF's top-up insurance schemes are outsourced to the state. Finance minister Nicolas Sarkozy will hold a news conference scheduled for 2.00 pm today after presenting the budget to both cabinet and parliament. According to the draft budget, consumer spending is expected to rise 2.4 pct in 2005, unchanged from the estimate for 2004, running slightly ahead of consumer purchasing power, projected to rise 2.2 pct, after a projected 1.5 pct rise this year. Exports are expected to rise 6.3 pct after anticipated growth of 4.5 pct in 2004 and imports are seen up 6.7 pct slowing from a 7.1 pct jump in 2004. By department, France expects spending on civil affairs to rise 1.6 pct to 246.03 bln eur and that on defence to increase 2.1 pct to 42.42 bln. Overall spending will increase 1.7 pct, in line with the government's pledge to freeze spending in real terms, after taking inflation into account. [email protected] mrg/wf

G7 next big thing on the horizon.
The deficit in the U.S current account,a record $166.2 billion in the second quarter, or a whopping 5.7% of gross domestic product .The huge deficit itself is negative for the dollar, and sentiment toward the currency could be further undermined if the market believes Washington wants to narrow the gap by letting the dollar drop to boost U.S. exports. The deficit is shaping up as a key topic for the G7 ministers. America's G7 partners have called attention to the U.S. current-account deficit as one of the key global imbalances that must be addressed, and said they hope to hear what the U.S. plans to do. G7 meeting will likely be how to finance the U.S. current-account deficit The Dollar will remain on guard against any remarks from senior G7 officials suggesting an implicit endorsement of a weak-dollar policy some believes the dollar may fall to Y108.00 after the G7 meeting.

Sydney. Household sector debt levels in the U.S. have reached record levels as a percentage of disposable income. But the Federal Deficit is no walk in the park either. So pretty much debt in the USA is big news all round. The question is: which sector is the one which will buckle under. The answer, I think, is the private sector in response to higher interest levels. The public sector doesn't seem to have the motivation or, indeed, the flexibility. So it could be a classic case of crowding out (via higher interest rates) with the world's 'consumer of last resort' hitting the wall. Won't be good for the U.S. or world economy, but it won't mean the Fed Funds goes down either. In fact a Fed Funds rate of 4% is not out of the question. One thing though, it will be supportive for the dollar and it will encourage foreign capital inflows.

Moskow, I believe GV is not fond of people peddling their wares here but anyway:

Such prefiltered data is mostly useless for someone who wants to trade. If he trades in real-time he cannot filter in the same way as the data provider has filtered and therefore the data he would he using for trading would be hugely different. The only solution is to take exactly the data as it is provided by one's own data provider, filter it and use it for backtesting and use exactly that filter too in real-time.

I have spent ages on exactly this problem. Some data feeds are so crappy that even the best filtering doesn't help. I can only highly recommend to put a lot of energy into solving this problem by oneself and not rely on some third party so one knows exactly what is going on.

Aussie touched high of 7059, taking out option stops at 7055 and heard more stops are placed above 7060-63 handle. A strong upmoves keep FX mkt in check, chance to gun for stops looks to be the play with next target eyed at 7080. AUD was given further support, accentuated by AUD/JPY purchased out of Jpn and offshore names. Mkt target 7100 n-term ahead of next objective of 7150. Sell strength is no longer in play in the high yielders, players now turning to buy-on-dip type for the aforementioned target.

U.S. CPI inflation is 2.7% Y/Y Fed Funds at 1.75% - the Fed has said policy is still accommodative (well guys real rates are STILL NEGATIVE so the Fed Funds could go up to 3.0 - 3.5 % without being considered tight) and some market players are suggesting that the Fed will stop at 2.0%. Don't know what drugs they are using but they must be good. Looks like we get 0.25 raises from here on in with a VERY CONSERVATIVE target set at 3.0%, although a case can be made for higher rates. It might kill the economy, but someone has got to do something about the debt bubble in America and the Government certainly isn't doing anything to get demand in control and reduce America's external funding requirement (not doing anything actually being a translation for running off in the opposite direction). The market still lives in a parallel universe where everyone pretends the Fed is NOT saying what it is saying.

(AP) While US$49.94 billion worth of mergers and acquisitions have already been announced in Australia in the first half of 2004, the good times are expected to continue for some time yet, with further consolidation expected in the property and infrastructure markets. And if the federal election next month results in a change of government, the media industry is also likely to come under the spotlight, said Kevin Skelton, chairman of investment banking at Merrill Lynch & Co.'s (MER) Australian unit. The buoyancy is to continue because people want to grow the revenue line, and the way to grow the revenue line is to continue to make acquisitions Interest rates are still at a low level, and equities at a high level, so cost of capital is quite low for companies at the moment, which is conducive for acquisitions .He is particularly upbeat about the Australian property sector, which has been the busiest sector this year following a flurry of activity, with the biggest deal being the three-way A$27 billion merger of the Westfield Group (WDC.AU) companies. We can expect that sector to continue to be busy, and we expect the infrastructure sector to also be very very busy.According to Thompson Financial's recent M&A advisory table, some US$18.19 billion worth of deals in Australia were completed in the first half of 2004.

We again face the situation that is not explainable. Why should the [EUR/YEN] go higher again when the Dlr weakness is the main theme in the market? The overnight actions are very much alike the scene manipulated by the Japan's MOF's interventions in the past. Some forcible power is lending support to the [DLR/YEN] and Yen crosses. Momentum accounts are featured as the buyer of the cross overnight (so what?). Dlr/Yen's 109.50 firmness is just unnatural. Technical players would favor the Eur/Yen picture that has overcome the previous peak. Some structures could be around 135.50.

Before we start thinking that this is it let me remind you of the past 4 months and the infamous breakouts leaving many hanging by the neck. We are still in the range but a promising move by the bulls was made and now it is up to the bears to live up to the challenge. It is now buy on dips for intraday positions for eur/usd pair but with caution. Today’s retracement numbers are 1.2295-2300, 1.2260-65, 2230-35 and 2205-10 if the 1.2350 area is not broken. Support is found now at 1.2300-10, 1.2260-70, 1.2200-20, 1.2180-70 and 1.2140-50 the key support is 1.2180-70 for now. Next resistance that should be tested if 1.2350 is taken is 1.2390-2400. Key resistance is still around the 1.2460-80 area and as I said before if that is taken 1.2650 and eventually the top for this year COULD be tested IMHO. Martin “silence is golden” very well said as it gets congested in the forum it is tough to spot the good information these days. GL GT

For more useful things, eur/gbp provides a pretty nice opportunity here around the 6855-6860 area. One could short HERE with about a 25 pip stop and target at least 6820 IMO. If EURO breaks EXTEMELY long then 6880/90 is possible but not very probable. At 18.00 a pip it is is worth almost twice as much as eur/usd and it will not make wild swings. General range is 40-50 pips per day. it does move very slowly so as far daytrading in that regard it is less than ideal. It generally has some topside resistance due to the fact the ECU does NOT like for it's levels to go much beyond this 6860-6880 area. GBP/USD has LESS of a pull on eur/gbp than eur/usd does.

Dallas GEP 01:54 GMT September 22, 2004 Reply   
Well we got some scenarios tonight, Euro could retest that 1.2350 area. Euro could retest 1.2350 go thru and see 1.2380 and THEN short or Euro could go and test 1.24. Additionally euro COULD short from here. The KEY probably is the 1.2295-1.2305 area. IF that support GIVES then we will have SHORTS in play probably to at least back intially to 1.2240/50 area. Since we have seen GBP short much more than the euro on this retracement, it is quite possible we could see gbp longs in play AND euro shorts in play same time EUR/GBP being the culprit here (shorts that is).

If GBP shorts back down thru 1.7940/45 from here, additional pressure will be on the euro short. so IMO GBP support at 1.7940 is key also.

From last wek's FOMC Gramlich speech about oil and monetary policy -- "Today the question of how to respond to oil price spikes is better understood, but the outcomes are no more pleasant. It is virtually inevitable that shocks will result in some combination of higher inflation and higher unemployment for a time. But I must stress that the worst possible outcome is not these temporary increases in inflation and unemployment. The worst possible outcome is for monetary policy makers to let inflation come loose from its moorings. " // The speech has some interesting charts and shows Fed's concern for price relationship of spot oil to future prices
