Wikipedia has this...
The Black Swan Theory or "Theory of Black Swan Events" was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb to explain:
The disproportionate role of high-impact, hard to predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance and technology
The non-computability of the probability of the consequential rare events using scientific methods (owing to their very nature of small probabilities)
The psychological biases that make people individually and collectively blind to uncertainty and unaware of the massive role of the rare event in historical affairs.
Unlike the earlier philosophical "black swan problem", the "Black Swan Theory" (capitalized) refers only to unexpected events of large magnitude and consequence and their dominant role in history. Such events, considered extreme outliers, collectively play vastly larger roles than regular occurrences.
Oh good.... that's much clearer now...

Gillard warns of $13 billion hit to economy
Her determination to cut funds to other areas to fund relief and rebuilding in Queensland was labelled ''dangerous'' by the Reserve Bank board member Warwick McKibbin as news emerged of tumbling export earnings and a stalling of the Queensland economy.
''Look at the size of the Queensland economy relative to Australia. At the moment a fair chunk of it has just stopped,'' Professor McKibbin said.
''If you look at the infrastructure damage and all the networks that have been broken, a hit to the economy of 1 per cent is not out of the question.''
A 1 per cent hit to the economy would cost $13 billion.
Trade figures released yesterday showed coal exports slid 5 per cent in November as the wet weather gathered pace. Flooding has affected more than 40 mines and the Port of Gladstone has abandoned exports.
The ANZ economist Katie Dean said worse was to come with about 75 per cent of Queensland coal production having already stopped.
''Our initial estimate is the floods could drive a 25 per cent fall in coking coal export volumes and around a 9 per cent fall in thermal coal export volumes in January,'' she said. ''This could see exports alone strip 0.5 percentage points from [gross domestic product] in the quarter.''
Australia's trade surplus is expected to slip into deficit.
Professor McKibbin said the floods would weaken Australia's entire economy, which would need government support.
''Queensland is not a little island sitting out there somewhere north of Newcastle. There will be permanent loss of national income.
''It's not the time to cut spending. That's the mistake they made in Europe.
''Sure it's important not to have too much debt, but the idea that you have to have a particular surplus at a particular point in time no matter what is dangerous,'' he said.

Coal production grinds to a halt because of Queensland floods
Reply
COALMINES and rail infrastructure in Queensland continue to shut down as the flooding worsens, prompting US producers to fill the vacuum.
Miners, particularly in Central Appalachia, are fielding inquiries from overseas buyers.
"It puts us in a terrific position," Ted Pile, a vice-president at Abingdon-based Alpha Natural Resources, told The Wall Street Journal. "Buyers are becoming more flexible on their coal specifications, knowing that much of the high-quality, hard-coking coal is tied up or under water."

AUD/USD and NZD/USD outlook next 24 hours: AUD's January decline remains intact, and resistance today at 0.9900 should cap activity, a break below 0.9820 more likely. NZD has been stuck inside a 0.7550-0.7650 sideways range since 6 January, an eventual test of the lower boundary more likely.

dil- I have no way of giving you a meaningful probability. Any thing is possible, and even likely.
All I know is that that most "barriers" are just numbers, not ceilings or floors. Some institutional traders make a very nice living of running stops above or below the market. Nevertheless, the tone of the markets could quickly change if the EURUSD establishes itself above 1.3000. Just as BELOW 1.3000 it has a weak psychological tone.
Hope this helps!

Job ads falling; $A strength adds to Queensland woes
Reply
NEWSPAPER job ads dropped 8.5 per cent last month in Queensland, the largest fall of any state, according to ANZ's job ads index.The impact of heavy rains and the higher Australian dollar on tourism and hospitality in the Queensland economy may be important drivers of Queensland's sharp 8.5 per cent decline in newspaper job ads," said ANZ economist Katie Dean. A stronger dollar makes Australia a more expensive destination for overseas tourists while prompting more Australians to holiday abroad.

Back in the Old Euro Denial Routine
governments of Greece, Ireland and now Portugal have been and are being forced to accept a bailout, without an individual euro-zone government leader having to go public and on the record.
This tactic saves the appearance of a euro zone that still comprises independent nations free to exercise their sovereignty, while in fact giving preference to the needs of the euro zone as an entity.
Governments that are reluctant to admit failure because of the domestic political consequences are forced to take action that is considered necessary for the good of the currencyA generally accepted form of money, including coins and paper notes, which is issued by a government and circulated within an economy. Used as a medium of exchange for goods and services, currency is the basis for trade. area as a whole, and prevent contagionThe likelihood that significant economic changes in one country will spread to other countries. Contagion can refer to the spread of either economic booms or economic crises throughout a geographic region. .
Shortly after the Irish government agreed to take €67.5 billion ($87.4 billion) in loans from the EUA group of European countries that participates in the world economy as one economic unit and operates under one official currency, the euro. The EU's goal is to create a barrier-free trade zone and to enhance economic wealth by creating more efficiency within its marketplace. and the IMFAn international organization created for the purpose of: Promoting global monetary and exchange stability. Facilitating the expansion and balanced growth of international trade. Assisting in the establishment of a multilateral system of payments for current transactions. , Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern gave his version of what had just happened.
"There were people from outside this country who were trying to bounce us ...into making an application-throwing in the towel before we had even considered it as a government," Mr. Ahern told state broadcaster RTE Radio in late November.
Interestingly, he was already able to identify the next candidate for similar treatment.
"If you notice they are doing the same with Portugal now because they fear that Portugal will now cause contagionThe likelihood that significant economic changes in one country will spread to other countries. Contagion can refer to the spread of either economic booms or economic crises throughout a geographic region. ," he added.
Of course, international diplomacy isn't a practice for the faint hearted, and many ruthless tactics have been employed on the grounds that the ends justify the means.
Except that, thus far, the euro zone's preference for "bouncing" members into taking help hasn't prevented contagion. Already economists are calculating how much it will cost to rescue Spain, which is seen as next on the list for help."Given the fact that the existing funding facilities will not be large enough to provide full three-year funding to Spain, we regard a significant extension of the facilities as necessary in orderThe instruction, by a customer to a brokerage, for the purchase or sale of a security with specific conditions. to calm markets," economists at Citigroup wrote in a note Monday.The Spanish government is aware of this, which possibly explains why it alone has been vocal in denying that Portugal requires help.
"Portugal will not need a bailout," Spanish Minister of Finance Elena Salgado said in a radio interview Monday.

Any rational person looking at Portugal’s fiscal balances, cost of borrowing, austerity measures and expected growth rate (Bank of Portugal revised its 2011 GDP estimate down to -1.3% and 2012 to +0.6%), the case for unsustainable is about as clear as clear can be.

Greek 2010 budget deficit drops more than targeted / By IB Times Staff Reporter
January 11, 2011 5:53 AM EST
The Greek budget deficit narrowed more than targeted last year, mainly led by a drop in government spending. Budget deficit of debt-stricken Greece decreased by 36.5 percent in 2010 against the government’s target of 33.2 percent, the finance ministry said on Monday. The state budget deficit stood at 19.6 billion euros ($25.37 billion) compared with 30.87 billion euros ($40 billion) in 2009. The government’s ordinary expenditure decreased by 9 percent year-on-year compared with the original target of 7.5 percent. Also, revenues increased by around 7 percent. “The deficit reduction during the period of January-December 2010 is mainly due to the significant reduction of expenditures,” the ministry said. Budget deficit accounted for 13.6 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) of Greece in 2009 and the nation was on the verge of bankruptcy in spring 2010 In May 2010, the eurozone member secured 110 billion euro ($147 billion) package from the IMF and European partners after promising drastic austerity measures to reduce its debt. Athens had committed to reduce its budget deficit to the EU limit of 3 percent of GDP by 2014 from 13.6 percent in 2009. “State budget execution data indicate that Greece remains well within the targets of the Economic Policy Program agreed with the EU and the International Monetary Fund,” the ministry said.

Hi, noobie at forex but its been going well so far, mostly profit since I started with $1000 in June last year, sitting at $1500 now, trading conservatively and with help of global view forums. Anyway one question, bought EUR/USD (1.2945) at fibo retracement (1.2979, 1.2909) 5min, 50% (1.2945) and as expected its bounced, question is what sell limit, thinking of 1.2970.

12:20 GMT (Global-View.com) January 11 - While last week’s euro meltdown was driven by technicals, the market focus is on fundamentals this week. This has attention on peripheral bond auctions over the next two days and market reaction to them. Portugal will issue 2014 and 2020 bonds and Italy 2015 bonds on Wednesday. Spain will auction 2016 bonds on Thursday. In the meantime, the eur/usd brief overnight break of 1.2968 and subsequent failure just below 1.3000 took out weak buy stops and left little to go after on the upside until the day high (1.2990). On the downside, yesterday’s low at 1.2873 is the only level worth noting other than a minor one at S1 = 1.2895 so little to go after on the downside until the low. This suggests a consolidation day but if yesterday's low holds, it would be the first higher low/higher high day since Jan 4 and hold out the risk of a retracement. Using 1.3433-1.2875:
1.3007 = 23.6%
1.3088 = 38.2%

AUD Looking Vulnerable On Many Fronts - BarCap
Reply
AUD is looking vulnerable on many fronts notes Barclays Capital. AUD/USD still maintains its uptrend from the June lows however any close below the daily cloud base at 0.98 will suggest a deeper correction is underway. If AUD/CAD breaks below 0.9730 that will complete a double top and warn of further underperformance. AUD/NZD is sharply lower and now aims at trendline support near 1.2860. EUR/AUD remains in a downtrend however a break above 1.3325 will complete a small basing pattern. In summary BarCap says AUD is likely to recover later in 2011, but it's watching the levels mentioned for confirmation that AUD weakness is becoming broader based. AUD/USD trades at 0.9844, AUD/CAD 0.9760, AUD/NZD 1.2968 and EUR/AUD 1.3140.

Panic buying hit Brisbane
Reply
BRISBANE (AFP)--Panic buying hit Brisbane on Tuesday, as businesses and offices in the Australian city were forced to close as floodwaters raced in.
Thousands fled the Queensland state capital, with 6,500 homes and businesses under threat.
Traffic streamed out of the city, and office workers crowded public transport to return to their homes in the suburbs as soon as alerts were issued early Tuesday.
"They closed the whole building down because there had already been flooding and they were expecting far worse to come," said Paul Betros, a lawyer whose entire office tower in the heart of the city was evacuated.
"Today is very significant, tomorrow is bad, and Thursday is going to be devastating for the residents and businesses concerned," he said.
Brisbane resident Daniel Sumner said there were scenes of chaos in supermarkets, where people bought up bread, milk, batteries, bottled water and candles.
"The whole place was just a madhouse," he said. "There's no bread on the shelves. It was pretty much down to no produce."
The situation in Brisbane is expected to deteriorate in coming days with heavy rain not expected to abate and authorities forced to release more water from the Wivenhoe Dam--built after devastating 1974 floods to protect the city, and currently at 173% capacity.
Around Brisbane residents of some low-lying areas are being urged to evacuate, with residents of Caboolture, about 50 kilometers north of Brisbane, now isolated by floodwaters.

MARKET TALK: Any EUR Plunge May Prompt ECB Steps - MUFG
Reply
While the ECB isn't expected to make any policy changes at its governing council meeting Thursday, a sharp fall in the common currency could force the central bank's hand, says Sumino Kamei, senior analyst at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ. "If the euro were to drop suddenly, the possibility of some form of response cannot be ruled out." Kamei adds that with sovereign debt auctions in Portugal, Spain and Italy this week, the market's focus will be on whether China and Japan's attempts to shore up confidence in the euro-zone through the purchase of the region's debt can ward off further EUR falls. He adds, the safe-haven JPY could strengthen "if fiscal concerns expand and risk aversion strengthens in the market."

2nd UPDATE: Australian Dollar Down Late As Flood Impact Increases
Reply
"The Australian dollar will continue to be sold as holders of the currency see no reason to make a stand against the many who rightly or wrongly see (the floods) as a reason to sell," said Clifford Bennett, chief economist with Herston Economics.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has previously looked through one-off spikes in food prices as a result of natural disasters, such as Cyclone Larry in 2006, which pushed the price of bananas to A$15 a kilogram from around A$1.70.
Australian bonds have surged on the growing impact of the floods Tuesday, with three-year bond futures recently up 14 ticks at 94.99 and the 10-year bond up 9 ticks at 94.535.
Interbank futures are even pricing in a slight chance of a rate cut when the country's central bank meets again in February.

EUR/USD May Fall Toward 1.2750 This Week senior FX dealer at Mizuho Corporate Bank
Reply
The EUR/USD may fall to 1.2750 this week, particularly if any weakness in sovereign debt auctions in Portugal and Spain add to concerns over the eurozone's fiscal health, says Satoshi Tate, a senior FX dealer at Mizuho Corporate Bank. "There are many people in the market who think that the euro-zone fiscal problems are going to get even worse this year," Tate says. While the EUR/USD briefly jumped earlier after Japanese Finance Minister Noda said Japan plans to buy debt from a euro-zone fund to support bailouts of fiscally troubled countries such as Ireland, such support may not be enough to prevent further contagion in the eurozone, Tate says. Other support came last week when China said it will likely buy more Spanish government bonds. But Tate adds, "At this point it's hard to expect that the Japanese and Chinese support would be able to stop the trend of growing market concern over the fiscal problems in Europe."

The danger is that this will infect Europe's core, threatening the AAA ratings of France, Germany an
Reply
Stephen Jen, chief economist at Blue Gold Capital and a former IMF official, said Greece, Ireland and Portugal are already "insolvent". Refusal to face up to reality draws out agony, with a "cancerous" effect on the whole eurozone
Mr Jen said the bail-outs themselves - done in the in the name of "saving the euro" - are causing the crisis to spread ever wider by contaminating stronger states instead of separating the balance sheets of good from bad, as would be normal in a debt clean-up operation. Chinese assurances may "help at the margin" but will do little to change the ugly debt dynamics of the EMU periphery.
"The mere fact of asking for money makes matters worse," he said.
This is a grave indictment of EU strategy.

The Fed’s QE2 Traders, Buying Bonds by the Billions
In a spare, government-issue office in Lower Manhattan, behind a bank of cubicles and a scruffy copy machine, Josh Frost and a band of market specialists are making the Fed’s ultimate Wall Street trade. They are buying hundreds of billions of dollars of United States Treasury securities on the open market in a controversial attempt to keep interest rates low and, in the process, revive the economy. .......................................................
The real work is done by three traders who are referred to during the operation as trader one, trader two and trader three. They sit at a long table against the wall, tapping at seven screens.
On one recent morning, trader one was Tiffany Wilding, 26. While she reviewed the stream of offers and then the prices finally accepted by the algorithm, trader two, Blake Gwinn, 29, double-checked her decisions and trader three, James White, 29, made a duplicate of everything in case the computers crashed.

Extreme Weather Could Dent Australian Trade -Acting Trade Minister
Reply
Australia's trade could be hit by "extreme weather conditions" and devastating floods in Queensland state, acting Trade Minister Mark Arbib said Tuesday.
Weeks of heavy rains and flooding have already taken a heavy economic toll on Queensland and its booming coal mining industry, with roughly 10 billion Australian dollars (US$9.88 billion) in clean-up and lost revenue forecast by the government.
Arbib also noted the risk posed by the strong Australian dollar.
"The Australian services industry is feeling the impact of a stronger Australian dollar with travel services down 3% and our manufacturing exports down slightly," in November from October, he said.

Australian economists are increasing their forecasts for how much Australia's growth will be impacted by the devastating floods now ravaging Queensland state. Already, economic data in the country are feeling some impact from the floods. The government's statistics agency on Tuesday reported Australia's November trade surplus fell to A$1.93 billion from A$2.56 billion a month ago, with force majeure at several large Australian miners denting the total value of coal exports from the country, even as coal prices rose.
Looking to December's data, economists expect even more impact.
"The devastating Queensland floods that began in December--and are becoming more damaging by the day--will depress both rural and non-rural exports through the first quarter of 2011 at least," said JPMorgan economist Ben Jarman.

The EUR falls back a tad from its earlier highs against the USD and the JPY, as the market digests Japan Finance Minister Noda's comments on the nation's euro-zone bond buying, say senior dealers in Tokyo. Japan's operation does not have any FX-impact because it will use the EUR in its reserves.

Hi folks. It happened so fast - had some gbp longs placed at 1.5551 (CP) and euro 1.2918 (CP lower band) then boom! Had a very quick pip raiding there. Whew, enough to compensate for aussie longs which yield negative pips! Many Thanks market again.

The AUD/USD is weakening as floods rise in Queensland and dealers ramp up expectations of economic impact and push out expectations for the next RBA rate hike, says Westpac FX Strategist Sean Callow. "It's been a clear negative." He pegs key AUD/USD support at 0.9828, then 0.9752. "When you're hitting really urbanised areas then the picture definitely changes." Australian police have advised residents of Queensland's state capital Brisbane to quit low-lying areas as flood waters threaten city

Euro recovers from 4-month low on short-covering
The single currency extended last week's selloff to a fresh four-month low at 1.2860 (NZ) on Monday due to lingering eurozone sovereign debt crisis after a senior eurozone source said on Sunday that pressure was growing on Portugal from Germany, France and other eurozone countries to seek financial help from the EU and IMF, however, a Portuguese government spokesman later denied a German magazine report that Lisbon was under pressure from Berlin and Paris to seek a bailout. Euro recovered from said intra-day low and reached 1.2965 in NY on short-covering.
In addition, a French government source said 'it's nonsense to say France, Germany pressuring Portugal to take aid.' German Chancellor Angela Merkel also said Germany was not trying to force Portugal to accept a EU bailout and would not do so in the future.
In other news, Greece is set to sell 1.5 billion euros (US$ 1.94 billion) of short-term debt on Tuesday and Portugal will sell as much as 1.25 billion euros in government bonds on Wednesday, followed by Spanish and Italian bond sales on Thursday.
The greenback recovered from last Friday's NY low 82.85 against the Japanese yen and reached 83.30 in NZ, however, price retreated from there and edged lower to 82.66 in NY session.
Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota said 'sees U.S. GDP growth of 3-3.5% in 2011; sees inflation rising 1.5-2% in 2011'; he said bar would be very high for him to support stops to bond buying program. Kocherlakota added that 'unemployment rate between 6.5-8% is range that could lead to inflationary pressures'; he expected U.S. unemployment rate declining to close to 9% by end-2011, staying above 8% through 2012.
Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank President Lockhart said US economy gained durable momentum and Fed's QE helped. Friday's job report confirmed economy is moving forward at modest pace with labor market improving. There was little sign of inflationary pressures and household deleveraging to continue in 2011.
The British pound briefly retreated to 1.5505 (NZ) but cable rebounded in tandem with euro and reached 1.5569 in Asian morning. Although price fell sharply to 1.5475 later, cable rebounded strongly and rose sharply to 1.5604 in NY session as cross-buying in pound provided support to cable. Eur/gbp weakened to near 4-month low of 0.8285 before staging a recovery.
Earlier in London morning, cable tanked after U.K. Halifax house price in December fell more than street forecast, came in at -1.3% m/m vs forecast of -0.4% m/m , recording the largest decline in 3 months.
Economic indicators to be released on Tuesday include:
Japan leading indicators, UK RICS house prices, Australia trade balance, Canada housing starts and US wholesale inventories.
