* Trichet Says ECB No Substitute for Government Irresponsibility
* The European Central Bank's bond buying programme is ongoing, ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet said on Friday, adding that he had no new message on the plan.
* Jean-Claude Trichet has called on eurozone leaders to step up their efforts to combat the region’s debt crisis, including slashing government deficits even more.
no voice heard about Trichet quotes, from the other hand Ben's transparency and straight answers gets hammered. but most important is Trichet pointing out that ECB has actually zero power. so, is there any better than SNB for now?

it's more likely that there will be an another attempt to pass a law that retroactively makes what the banks have done legal, using MERS as an electronic transfer agent rather than tranfering each mortgage that is put into a security thru the required process --- which means going to the land transfer office in the county where the property is located, paying a transfer fee...etc......
They tried this already before the elections, and O did a "pocket veto", so it's still there in some form or another.
One thing is, with the states in dire straits now, collecting all those "fees" from the banks that were never paid because they circumvented the legal paper work, would help stressed state budgets.
I could go on .... Google MERS and you'll see that it's a legal nightmare created by the banks. This thing in one form or another will eventually go to the Supreme Court.

Also - Banks lose one at a state Supreme Court level. Two foreclosures were ruled invalid because the banks could not prove they owned the mortgages.
Massachusetts Supreme Court upheld a ruling against WFC and USB on their mortgage practices, specifically with regard to how the banks transferred mortgages into securitizations. The negative read-through comes from the idea that such a ruling may guide other rulings. This could invalidate some forclosures and increase mortgage putbacks to the banks that originated the mortgages.

The euro began the first week of 2011 on a stronger footing again. Reports of Chinese interest in eurozone peripheral bonds, upbeat economic data and thin trading presumably helped to lift EUR-USD to 1.34. During the course of the week, however, the euro began to tumble and had slipped below 1.30 by the end of the week.

Tech Talk
12:10 GMT (Global-View.com) - The market has been trading on the US employment report and Non-Farm Payrolls since Wednesday’s surprise leap in jobs reported in the monthly ADP survey. This saw the dollar firm, led by a falling euro, as forecasts for today’s Non-Farm Payrolls were marked higher. This sets the stage for today’s US employment report fireworks with a focus on the EUR/USD 1.30 level, which traded below it Friday for the second day in a row, As the daily chart shows (see below) there was severe technical damage inflicted yesterday:
EUR/USD daily chart )intra-day range so far 1.2960-1.3020):
- broke below 200 day mva (1.3084), trendline (1.3095 today) and key 1.3056 yesterday
- weak euro crosses gave the clue yesterday
- 1.30 clearly determines what comes next
- key support level is 1.2968, briefly broken overnight.
- firm break of 1.2968 would expose 1.2645, 1.2626 and key 1.2587
- above 1.3056 would be needed to slow the risk, above the former trendline and 200 day mva to neutralize
- This sets the stage for today’s NFP roulette at 13:30 GMT where there is risk on both sides on the headline. However, given technicals, logic suggests market should take any “buy the rumor, sell the fact” reaction, should one occur, as an opportunity to fade unless levels posted above are firmly renewed.

IMPACT = HIGH
CANADA Employment Data / Unemployment Rate
Employment is a monthly estimate of the number of payroll jobs and government agencies. The rate of unemployment is released along with this report.
Impact: Growth of employment provides important information about the current and likely future pace of overall economic growth and future monetary policy. Most analysts prefer to watch the employment data rather than the unemployment rate, which is also impacted by changes to the labor force (denominator of the ratio).
Other statistics watched are the breakdown between full and part-time jobs and the labor participation rate.

Thanks,
I like to come on year s end and start...This year will be probably one of the most interesting that we have yet seen..
With the deflation spiral keeping its march, China buying a foot (if not more) into Europe...Oil and Commodities (along FX ComDolls) keeping their marathon..At the same time, hunger will strike till july (and to my guess even way longer)...Will gold keep going while all this is happening? Probably though, gold with its nice yellow aspect cant be eaten & has no use in warfare...Meaning I see it cool down, while the rest keeps going to new high (and specs moving in other speculative positions)..
Oil to 180 (with comdolls flying),
Wheat to 600,

aye, happy new year , best wishes for 2011.

Sentiment for actual physical demand varies all over the place with bulls stressing the idea of huge physical demand below $1400.00...bears refer to that notion as just "false hope". Below 1361.35 further reinforces a top in place and and could trigger losses through 1350.30/1329.45. A daily close above a H&S neckline (1385.00) defers.

Portugal Could Need Bailout Soon -Citi
Reply
Monaco Oil man 08:51 lets hope so :-))
Portugal is likely to access the European Financial Stability Facility soon and several sovereign debt restructurings are likely in the euro area zone in the next few years, says Willem Buiter of Citi. In the European debt crisis "we have only seen the opening and second act, with the rest of the plot still evolving," he says, adding that the risk of default is manifest in all of western Europe, but especially in the periphery of the euro area. Buiter says Ireland's financial support package has only bought time and the current size of the liquidity facilities looks insufficient to fund Spain completely for three years. Portugal/Germany Yield spread is 11 basis points wider at 411.9 bps.

Yuan to rise 5-6 percent in 2011: China central bank adviser

Reuters) - The yuan is expected to rise between 5 and 6 percent this year against the U.S. dollar, Li Daokui, an adviser to China's central bank, was quoted as saying in a local newspaper.
In anticipation of that, some traders have speculated that China may lay the ground for currency talks by letting the yuan rise as much as 2 percent in the first quarter alone.

Market Review - 06/01/2011 21:36 GMT
Euro falls below $1.30 level to a 5-week low against dollar
The single currency tumbled to a five-week low against the dollar on Thursday as the recent release of upbeat U.S. economic data painted a rosier picture of the US economy while worries over the European sovereign debt crisis continued to pressure euro. Traders would pay attention to the release of U.S. non-farm payroll data due out on Friday following the strong ADP jobs data released earlier this week.
The single currency remained under pressure after meeting renewed selling at 1.3170 in Asian morning on lingering concerns over European sovereign debt crises. Price eventually edged lower and once fell below 1.3000 level and reached 1.2997 in NY before recovery.
In other news, the Daily Telegraph reported that the European Commission would discuss a plan to spread the cost of bank failures to senior bond holders. Bloomberg also reported that the EU might give regulators power to block new products and limit trading risks at banks deemed too big to fail.
The spreads between peripheral eurozone government bond yields and German debt widened on Thursday as driven by gains in Portuguese yields following Portugal's debt agency said it would issue a total of between 750 million euros and 1.25 billion euros in two bond maturities at an auction on Jan 12.
The greenback traded narrowly against the Japanese yen after marginal rise above Wednesday's high of 83.38 to 83.40 at Tokyo opening. The greenback retreated from there and then edged lower to 82.88 but the pair managed to rebound and spent the rest of the day inside the range of 82.88-83.40 as traders waited for the release of US non-farm payroll data on Friday.
The British pound initially edged higher in Asia but cable fell immediately after the release of a surprise sharp fall in December U.K. PMI Services index, which actually came in at 49.7 vs forecast of 52.8. The index dropped below the 50.0 mark to a 20-month low, analysts attributed this sharp drop to the severe wintry conditions which hit the U.K. last month. Sterling declined from London morning high of 1.5564 after the data and eventually fell to 1.5450 in NY.
Economic indicators to be released on Friday include:
Swiss Unemployment rate, Germany trade data and Industrial production, EU GDP, US non-farm payrolls and jobs data.

AUD Should Underperform Peers Near-Term - MS
The AUD will likely underperform its commodity peers in the near term, especially given the risk of more China tightening, and shorting the AUD/CAD is one way to express that view, says Morgan Stanley Strategist Emma Lawson. The longer term outlook is less clear, given that the rebuild effort after Queensland's floods will offset the initial disruption to GDP; but she says the risk to the AUD outlook is to the downside. She adds ultimately, inflation expectations will be key. "If the market is concerned about the RBA's ability to manage higher inflation and lower domestic economic growth, then the AUD will face negative pressure which reflects these risks."
