DJ MARKET TALK: With Europe Acting As Mask, Buy AUD/USD - NAB
Reply
With all the noise out of Europe masking the micro factors in Australia, NAB currency strategist John Kyriakopoulos says time is right to buy AUD/USD. "In the absence of the European sovereign debt crisis we would have seen Australian short-dated bond yields rising sharply in response to the RBA forecasting inflation at 3% in two years' time," says strategist. But instead of rising, bond yields are down sharply since last week, pushing AUD lower as well. "As such, AUD/USD below our estimate of the new average rate at 0.9000 provides an opportunity to buy it at slightly 'cheap' levels on a medium-term horizon," says Kyriakopoulos. AUD/USD recently at 0.8952, down from 0.9016 at weekend's high.

EUR440B May Come From Euro-Zone Govts; EUR60B From EU Budget-Source
Even a great economy like Germany is indebted, so where will the Euro zone get the money from?
Maybe by printing more Euro, thus diluting the value anyway.
Why not create an emergency fund of several trillions of Euro, anyway the proposed 500B do not exist too, and is only a promise to pay to the delinquents, over several years.
The problem seems that the EU ministers concentrate too much on saving their banks and hitting Specs., rather than saving the Euro economy.

AUSTRALIA would likely skirt a renewed slowdown in the global economy should problems in Europe spill over to the rest of the world, but that means interest rates will continue to climb. Respected independent forecaster Access Economics expects homebuyers will face a further three interest rate rises this year that would take the official cash rate to 5.25 per cent.

EUR440B May Come From Euro-Zone Govts; EUR60B From EU Budget-Source

European Union finance ministers are talking about creating a EUR600 billion fund to ensure stability in the 16-state euro zone, an EU diplomat said Sunday.
EU finance ministers, meeting in Brussels since 1300 GMT, are racing to keep the euro-zone's debt crisis from deepening when financial markets open on Monday.
The EUR600 billion fund still hasn't been agreed to and its size could change in a final pact, the diplomat said. According to current discussions, EUR440 billion for the fund would come from euro-zone governments and EUR60 billion would come from surplus funds in the EU budget. This part of the fund would resemble the bloc's existing EUR50 billion balance-of-payments facility for countries outside the euro-zone, the diplomat said.
The EU ministers want the International Monetary Fund to contribute a further EUR100 billion to this regional stability fund, according to the diplomat.

The International Monetary Fund on Sunday approved a three-year, EUR30 billion loan to help pull Greece out of an economic quagmire.
The unprecedented IMF loan, the largest financial commitment the institution has ever made to a single country, is part of a EUR110 billion IMF/European Union package that includes conditions requiring Athens to tighten its fiscal belt and raise taxes.
Approval of the loan comes as European finance ministers and central bankers are discussing expanding an emergency credit facility for European countries. An IMF official said the institution was prepared to support the stabilization fund, but declined to elaborate.

Germany Calls For EUR500 Billion Crisis Fund -Diplomat
BRUSSELS (AFP)--Germany on Sunday proposed the setting up of an unprecedented 500 billion-euro ($645 billion) crisis fund, with IMF involvement, an EU diplomatic source said.
a) Where the money will come from?
b) The PIIGS country loans from banks as I read are about 2.8T$.
So in case of serious crisis that said amount may not be enough.
Looks like Germany+IMF+USA like altogether to go down the tube with other EU countries

Germany Calls For EUR500 Billion Crisis Fund -Diplomat

BRUSSELS (AFP)--Germany on Sunday proposed the setting up of an unprecedented 500 billion-euro ($645 billion) crisis fund, with IMF involvement, an EU diplomatic source said.
"Germany put a proposal for a total of 500 billion euros on the table," the source said, which would be made available to any cash-strapped euro-zone nation.
The total would include 60 billion euros of loan funds from the European Commission coffers--a sum that has been discussed in recent days--as well as 440 billion euros that would come, if necessary, from members of the 16-nation euro zone and the International Monetary Fund.
The package would include "bilateral loans, loan guarantees and IMF credit lines," according to the diplomatic source.
If the plan were to be agreed to, as EU finance ministers held late-night talks in Brussels, the facility would be unprecedented.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Federal agents have launched parallel criminal and civil probes of JPMorgan Chase and its trading activity in the precious metals market, The Post has learned.
The probes are centering on whether or not JPMorgan, a top derivatives holder in precious metals, acted improperly to depress the price of silver, sources said.
The Commodities Futures Trade Commission is looking into civil charges, and the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division is handling the criminal probe, according to sources, who did not wish to be identified due to the sensitive nature of the information.
The probes are far-ranging, with federal officials looking into JPMorgan's precious metals trades on the London Bullion Market Association's (LBMA) exchange, which is a physical delivery market, and the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex) for future paper derivative trades.

Speculators extend record bets against euro
Speculators have ramped up their bets against the euro to fresh record levels as concerns over contagion from the Greek debt crisis threaten the very existence of the single currency.
Positioning data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, often used as a proxy for hedge fund activity, showed speculators increased their short positions in the euro to a record 103,400 contracts, or $16.8bn in the week ending May 4.
“The market is extremely one-sided, which increases the odds of a round of short-covering,” said Camilla Sutton at Scotia Capital. “However, developments to date leave us unable to to find a reason to buy the euro.”
Bets against the euro were likely to have been increased, given the sharp sell-off in the euro since May 4.

Greek bond trades with yields above 10% should just be cancelled just like the Us stock exchanges cancelled stock trades at ridiculous prices.

Many headlines on the wires from the European Finance Ministers all of them seem to be blaming speculators. All pledging support for the euro. Don't question their commitment, even though they are blaming the messenger (the market). They can try to drive the EUR higher on the Asian open or just try to stabilize it. Stability in the Euro will not improve the creditworthiness of EZ sovereign bonds.
From a trading stand point look for wide ranges in active Asian markets early Monday.

Personal Opinions:
These markets are very hard for me. I'e never seen something like it. I am accustomed to currency crises triggered by high inflation excessive growth etc. They normally have been addressed by a currency devaluation, restrictive budgets, monetary squeeze etc. So a government tries to avoid the inevitable by forex intervention etc. and then finally has to deal with the root cause of their problems by slowing the economy down.
How is this situation different? We are already in a deflationary spiral and the traditional remedies won't work. The IMF only knows how to trigger an economic slowdown, but we are dealing with economies that are already weak. Traditional therapies are akin to the Medieval practice of bleeding the fever in a dying man. You slow down the economies of Greece, Spain, Portugal etc., and even more people will be thrown out of work and their budget problems will only get worse. Not only will revenues fall but the demands on the social safety-nets will increase. Additionally, there is an increased risk of social unrest. The few wealthy European countries lack the resources bail out all the rest. Furthermore a near-term bailout will not address long-term structural issues that must still be fixed.
The only obvious socially-acceptable solution for Greece, Spain etc. is a currency DEVALUATION. Plans to shore up the Euro over the weekend make absolutely no sense. European countries in Europe at risk need economic STIMULUS not more deflation.
Its not the speculators that are the problem. It is illogical for investors to hold onto Greek debt if inevitably they are going to suffer a haircut. It also makes no sense to hold onto eur if the common currency scheme inevitably is going to have
