CB 23:21 - US is beyond point of no return: too many cling-ons in the millitary industry complex; those people are trained to get and be angry and have little useful civilian job application, especially in current official 9.9% unemployment and Ben-forecasted to last additional 5yrs. This cycle will take long time to cycle 180° . Means still plenty of time and room for profits off the Military Industrial Complex.

AUD/USD Support Should Be Fleeting - BNP
Reply   
AUD/USD should find any suppport quite fleeting given China's continued efforts to tighten policy, say BNP Paribas FX strategists. "We remain of the view that the break of technical support and long positioning means that AUD/USD is vulnerable to a decline towards the 0.9540 area." Latest 0.9937.

SANTIAGO (Dow Jones)--U.S. gross domestic product will likely grow between 3% and 4% this year, but unemployment will remain high, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Charles Plosser, said Monday. Speaking in Chile, Plosser said he couldn't rule out the Fed beginning to withdraw its significant monetary stimulus sometime this year.

In 1984, Jobs purchased a 17,000-square-foot (1,600 m2), 14 bedroom Spanish Colonial mansion, designed by George Washington Smith in Woodside, California, also known as Jackling House. Although it reportedly remained in an almost unfurnished state, Jobs lived in the mansion for almost ten years. According to reports, he kept an old BMW motorcycle in the living room, and let Bill Clinton use it in 1998.

I posted here some time ago when APPL became the largest cap stock in valuation on the US exchanges - and that its fortunes rested on the genius of one person Steve Jobs.
As a reminder Apple accounts for about 20% of the Nasdaq.
It is also in the SnP 500. The stock is also held by over 190 HedgeFunds.

It is not a bank...so therefore not on the TBTF list. Though there is a POMO today and they might decided to put a Billion or two into preventing a crash.....FLASH CRASH anyone?

Europe does not require external savings, it does not need to import foreign capital to finance itself. This is not the United States.

If required central European authorities will issue bonds in Euros at a low rate (as previously explained) and then these authorities will lend those funds, still in Euros, at a higher rate to peripheral governments.


Are you sure it is not the United States? I think that was clear after WW II when the US "imperialists" left the junk in ruins for euro folks to figure it out for themselves after a "simplified" communism was nothing but appetite for destruction.

You can say that somehow some country will issue eurozone debt at low rates to some random magical lender at artificially low rates, but who on the periphery- Turkey, Iran?

Obviously the US does not need to import foreign capital. Small detail you left out- Largest holder of US debt is the Fed. The Treasury can simply issue endless debt to the Ben Bernank via the Goldman Sachs at zero or sub zero rates. That's pretty hard to beat in currency creation schemes. But in the race to the bottom, the US economy as a single nation dwarfs any other. Hence, there is no new reserve currency (unless you are Iran). Maybe "money" becomes currency again and people trade in gold and silver backed assets but that is for another discussion.

So, yes reserve currencies have changed hands over the millennia but the euro experiment, the worst constructed fiat currency ever invented by design won't even make it another decade.

If required central European authorities will issue bonds in Euros at a low rate (as previously explained) and then these authorities will lend those funds, still in Euros, at a higher rate to peripheral governments. All the money involved will be European if necessary. There is no need for foreign money. Europe does not run a current account deficit with the rest of the world. Which means it does not need foreign capital.

Global reserve currencies come and go. It used to be Sterling, that's long gone. Things change. But you can't trade short term fluctuations on stuff like this, you have to watch what is happening on the margin. Is there going to be noise made about the Euro, the bail-out or are we going to have other news?

I'm to say that with all the noise and shin kicking, USD is the super reserve currency without alternative. Every major commodity is still priced in USD for a reason. If it was so simple to demand everything to switch into a future failed eur currency, it would have already occurred. It is pure rubbish and nonsense to think that europia can agree on a currency yet individually issue debt without any bailout or formal unwinding plans because nobody wants to lose their own seat in the horse race. No unity, no action = just another failed fiat.

Paris ib 20:34 GMT January 17, 2011

Like I said the Germans don't actually have the dough to support anyone. Any bail out money will have to be borrowed. At a low rate. Only to be lent out at a higher rate. (Nothing is being given away. You may have missed that small detail.) Which means they make a profit on the deal. Like the Germans make a profit on being in Europe and in being part of the Euro. It's not like this great big act of charity on their behalf. No matter how pious they act.

Anyway whatever your case I assume you just want to short the Euro, which is fair enough, but don't support your call on some grandiose idea that the end is nigh..... it isn't.

I'm to say "absolutely". While Eur may seem to have simplified things for some in europia, who prefer the easy entitlement lifestyle the same way communism was to simplify things there, it comes at the expense of someone. Germany is not to support the europian freeloaders. You cannot succeed as a socio-politico currency with so many divides. Small country sovereign bond vs social entitlement uprisings, solved by the IMF and China will not be the answer on a larger scale.

I was working in a dealing room during the EMU crisis of the early 1990s (500% overnight interest rates anyone?) and I have heard all this nonsense before. With the excuse of the EMU crisis Europe now has the Euro.... not a failed experiment, to the contrary what we have is a slow march down one road, only some people keep missing the road signs. How they manage to NOT see what is actually happening escapes me. But hey.... not really my problem.

Paris ib 20:19 GMT January 17, 2011
What's the buzz?

A failed experiment? Don't think so. Anyway time will tell and, for your information, while no-one in Europe is thrilled about the added layer of bureaucracy and all the idiots with snouts in troughs in Brussels, the Euro is actually very popular and will be defended first, because it's good for business and second, because it has popular support. The question is do the vampires in Brussels escalate the crisis in order to gain more power for themselves (over national fiscal policy for example) because they know that support for the Euro is strong.... or not?

Stop reading tabloids people. The Euro has simplified life in Europe in a lot of ways so that worked. The adds-ons are the tricky bits. But repeating, without thinking, what is reported in the 'press' shouldn't be encouraged. If some German politicians and officials are milking this for all it's worth it's because they have an agenda not because there is this big uprising in Germany about the Euro. Remember Germany is currently experiencing record growth right now and they know full well that the Euro is part of that story.

I'm to say How do you know it's "pretty darn strong"? You are European. Did you pick up the phone and ring them? Eur is a failed experiment. Everyone already knows this. If there is crisis it is the same as the U.N.- Debate and find no unity. Call the IMF for solutions. The weak experiment will get weaker. It will no longer exist in less than a decade. Any small crisis nearly collapsed the experiment last year. A real crisis will cause the rift and failure to be as swift as an earthquake. This is all common knowledge. You can't issue non-sovereign debt against a so-called sovereign currency that everyone knows is just modern Deutsche Marks.

Paris ib 19:58 GMT January 17, 2011
What's the buzz?

How do you know that there is little support? They ring u n tell you that personally?

First this 'bail out' stuff needs defining. You're American you know how important definitions are. The Germans don't have piles of cash lying around to lend to anyone. They run a govt deficit just like everyone else in the industrial world. So this 'money' they will have to borrow first before they can lend it to anyone. And guess what? They (the Germans, the Europeans or whoever you care to mention) will borrow the funds at a lower rate than they lend them out at, which means they will make a profit on the deal. It's called a spread. It's how banks used to make money.

And support for the Euro is pretty darn strong in Europe, and even it would seem in China and Japan. Where support is not strong is in the USA, the UK and the usual suspects. Which means they may have the financial press cornered but 'they' don't yet have a monoply on the truth.

London Mick-
Hello friend from across the pond. I'm to say stop at 2011 highs. I do not believe in target price. Maybe it goes to 1.27 maybe 0.7 but that is for the market to determine. I'm to say that the big money is made by letting profits run and run. 1.3307 shot for late party goers is a sell stop idea b'cause bid needs to now trigger that on the way down to be validated.

Rana- you are simply amazing. Maybe the beat ever at FX trading. I'm to say win or lose, impression will not change.

12:00 GMT (Global-View.com) January 17 - The market is likely feeling the effects of the first two weeks of the year that saw it trade in a bipolar fashion, smashing the euro the first week and then squeezing the shorts in the second week. This saw an outside week last week but not an outside week key reversal. This also saw the eur/usd close on Friday around unchanged vs. the 2010 close in what turned out to be a zero sum game for the first two weeks of trading for this pair.

The third week of the year has started out with the euro giving back some of those gains, both vs. the dollar and on its crosses but performing technically, creating a mixed picture for the dollar. One change from last week is today should see a break of a 5 day pattern of higher closes, leaving the market in limbo and likely focused more on euro crosses than eur/usd. The low at 1.3243 was just above:

1.3239 = S2
1.3233 = 38.2% of 1.2875-1.3455 (2011 range).

Other levels worth noting in the absence of any obvious supports or resistance as it trades between the 20 day mva (1.3167) and 100 day mva (1.3415) in this holiday thinned session:

1.3270 = former daily trendline broken last week
1.3296 = 50 day mva

Reply   
José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Spanish prime minister, has issued a hardline warning to the country’s autonomous regions that they must curb public spending and debt creation so that Spain can recover from its sovereign debt crisis.
After decades of government concessions to regional demands, Mr Zapatero said in a Financial Times interview that the central government would strictly enforce deficit limits and act against any region that stepped out of line.

Economists Expect PBOC To Hike Rates In February - Poll
Reply   
The People's Bank of China is likely to hike interest rates again next month in its continuing battle against inflation, economists say.In the poll of 10 economists, five expect the central bank to hike its benchmark one-year lending and deposit rates by 25 basis points in February, while ING economists expect a February hike of 50 basis points.
Carl Weinberg of High Frequency Economics expects the PBOC to hike the reserve requirement ratio three times in 2011, by a total of 150 basis points. It hiked the RRR ratio by 50 basis points on Friday, following six such hikes in 2010.

Citigroup economists have the most aggressive forecast, of four 25 basis-point hikes in 2011. "Monetary policy is still too loose to stem China's excess liquidity problem and adds to inflation risks. To anchor inflation expectations, more tightening is likely," they said. A rate hike could be announced before or during the Chinese New Year holiday, which starts Feb. 3, taking effect immediately afterwards, Citigroup said.

EMU policies are pushing Southern Europe into systemic political crisis
Reply   
This is what happened to Britain during the ERM crisis of 1992, the trial run for the monetary union.

German reunification was an "asymmetric shock", setting off a boom that compelled the Bundesbank to tighten the screw again and again, and forcing the Bank of England to follow suit at a time when the UK housing bust was already underway.
Spain is about to relive the experience, for Germany is going through another such shock. This one is caused by surging exports to the BRICs -- machinery, luxury cars, aircraft, medical kit, and chemicals. German exports to China rose 40pc last year, and 42pc to Russia.
Chancellor Angela Merkel.
She has two viable options. She can choose to save monetary union, first by doubling the size of the EU bail-out fund and halve the interest rate charged so that the debt-stricken states can recover; and then by acquiescing in fiscal federalism and a pooling of debts -- what McKinsey’s chief in Germany calls a "spiral into a Transferunion" – entailing a regime of subsidies for years to come.

That is to say, Germany must be prepared to do for Southern European what it has already done for its own kin in East Germany, but on six times the scale.
Or she can pull the plug, by quietly signalling to the Verfassungsgericht that Berlin would not be too angry if the eight judges declared the EU’s rescue machinery to be unconstitutional, ending EMU as we know it.

Australia's Queensland Floods To Affect Mortgage Payments - Fitch
SYDNEY (Dow Jones)--The Queensland floods will have a negative impact on mortgage borrowers and could impact mortgage-backed transactions in the country, Fitch Ratings said Monday.
"Queensland's floods might also temporarily reduce available income in selected mortgage-backed transactions depending on their exposure to the affected areas," added Zanesi.

Any hit to mortgage affordability could have a broader impact in Australia, especially for banks. The country's four largest banks hold nearly 85% of all mortgages in the country on their books, with the about 90% of Australians holding variable mortgage loans.

The Minerals Council said a 40 per cent tax on Queensland's coal sector would crush the industry jus
Reply   
GREENS leader Bob Brown is facing mounting condemnation after calling on coal companies to foot the bill for the Queensland flood recovery.
Senator Brown said coal companies, as major climate change contributors, should pay a 40 per cent resources super profits tax to pay for the clean-up.
Senator Brown said yesterday that Australia's “coal barons” should be made to pay for the damage caused by climate-linked natural disasters.

“Burning coal is a major cause of global warming,” he said.

“This industry, which is 75 per cent owned outside Australia, should help pay the cost of the predicted more severe and more frequent floods, droughts and bushfires in coming decades.”

Coal miners should foot Qld flood bill

G’day Gringo. Apologies but I’ve really got no idea whatsoever on the EUR/USD- toss a coin I’d say as neither currency is worth buying. I see H&S only as major reversal patterns so I only use them on longer term charts

Canberra should batten down the hatches
The flood carnage seen in Queensland could be experienced in Canberra, with experts warning of devastating storms and unrelenting rain in the capital for the next two months.
The ACT SES has received more than 1700 calls for help since July 1, way above the annual average of about 1200, but Commissioner Mark Crosweller has warned that the worst is yet to come.

Dongguan Ghost Mall And China’s Property Boom

This is what the biggest mall in the world looks like on a typical Saturday, very reminiscent of this Hugh Hendry video of China’s empty skyscrapers and this video of China’s empty city.

Are Gold Pool Accounts Safe
■Wholesale fraud. A dealer might be a 100% hoax. It may not actually have the metal that customers have paid for, in which case the customers would get hurt. The proprietor would be committing a go-to-jail-forever crime, but it would be easier to pull off, perhaps for many years, with unallocated storage than with allocated storage. A customer who’s bought metal in allocated storage can visit his gold or silver and check the serial numbers on the bars. A customer who’s bought metal in unallocated storage may be allowed a tour of the vault, but all he’s going to see is a whole lotta gold and a whole lotta silver.

Euro pares gains on profit-taking after rising to one-month high vs dollar

The single currency climbed above $1.3400 level against the dollar on Friday as traders bought euro aggressively on short-covering. Euro rose approximately 3.6% against the dollar this week as price was supported by a series of successful debt auctions by indebted eurozone countries together with ECB chief Trichet's concerns over inflation on Thursday.

Euro initially hit a one-month high of 1.3458 in European morning on Friday, however, price retreated sharply from there on profit-taking and later weakened to 1.3314 in NY session before staging a recovery.

In other news, Fitch downgraded Greece to BB+, outlook was negative, ratings became junk status. Fitch also cut Greece's long term foreign and local currency issuer default ratings to BB+ from BBB-. The rating agency said the Greek heavy public debt burden rendered fiscal solvency highly vulnerable to adverse shocks. Greek debt was now rated junk by all three major rating agencies.

In addition, China's central bank raised banks' reserve requirement by 50 b.p. on Friday after Chinese financial markets were closed, this move was the 7th increase since early 2009. However, market had rumoured such a move earlier on Friday so the reaction had not been too sharp.

The greenback fell against the Japanese yen briefly to 82.40 in Europe, however, the pair quickly rebounded from there to 83.00 on buying by Japanese names. Although the pair dipped again after the release of weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data, price rose again and reached 83.08 in NY afternoon before trading narrowly.

On economic front, U. Michigan consumer confidence in January unexpectedly dropped to 72.7 ( vs forecast of 75.4) from the previous reading of 74.5, retail sales in December came in at 0.6% versus the forecast of 0.8% and real earnings in December fell by 0.4% against forecast of -0.2%.

The British pound initially rose in tandem with euro in European morning to 1.5867 and retreated on profit-taking, however, price rebounded after release of higher-than-expected U.K. PPI (Dec input prices increased by 3.4% on the month and were up 12.5% on the year, the largest rises since March and April respectively), sterling then fell briefly but sharply to an intra-day low of 1.5810 after news of raising of banks' reserve requirement by China's central bank. Cable later ratcheted higher 1.5889 in NY before moving narrowly.

Economic indicators to be released next week include:

UK Rightmove house prices, Japan Consumer Confidence, EU Finance Ministers' meeting on Monday, UK Consumer confidence, RICS house prices, Japan Industrial production, UK CPI and RPI data, Germany ZEW data, US Empire state mfg, Net LT TIC flows, NAHB housing index, Canada BOC rate decision on Tuesday, EU current account, UK jobs data and US housing starts on Wednesday, Germany PPI, Swiss ZEW, UK CBI orders, US home sales data and jobs data, Canada leading indicators on Thursday, Germany Ifo data, UK retail sales and Canada retail sales on Friday.

EU Says New Tensions in Debt Markets Unavoidable, Spiegel Says
The European Commission regards an exacerbation of tensions in the region’s sovereign debt markets as “unavoidable” in the first months of 2011, Germany’s Spiegel magazine reported, citing a strategy paper.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-15/eu-says-new-tensions-in-debt-markets-unavoidable-spiegel-says.html


Top Economists Debate the Crisis
'Clinging to the Euro Will Only Prolong the Agony'
Leading German economists Peter Bofinger and Stefan Homburg are split over the euro's chances of survival. In a discussion moderated by SPIEGEL, they talked about the wisdom of introducing a euro bond and what would happen if Germany left the common currency.
Homburg: Clinging to the euro will only draw out the agony. I argue in favor of making a painful break -- that is, putting an end to this monetary experiment. It would calm thing down in Europe and, on balance, the continent would be better off.
