The euro hovered just above a 17-month trough against the dollar early in Asia on Tuesday after Standard & Poor's dealt the euro zone yet another blow by downgrading the credit rating of Europe's bailout fund.

S&P is basically in the business grading toilet paper - something I do not imagine S&P ever imagined would find itself doing...

I am tempted to argue that canadian dollar (still graded at AAA) is therefore not going to be gradeable since our fearless geniuses at the BoC are printing their script on a polymer plastic (and therefore useless as toilet paper. incidentally also not recommended as cigar igniter)

- Add to trading points below that S&P downgraded the EFSF by one notch on Monday, as expected. The debt of EFSF cannot be rated at a level higher than its constituent guarantors! Nevertheless AA+ is still a very respectable rating.

EUR/CHF longs very disappointing. Are we to think SNB is NOT going to keep the trend of interventions to stave off a CHF safehouse status? 350 pips higher than today's value is the resistance SNB apparently sought. Previously, it took only two weeks in a row at slightly above today's level of 1.2086 and SNB intervened to 1.24s. It would seem with the tale of woe coming out of EZ-S&P fracus last week that SNB would be more watchful of a plunge in EUR/CHF.

Any thoughts before I douse my longs? I posed the question last week but as far as I know got no useful response.

Swiss, EZ, U.S. IRS
Reply   
I got a phone call a coupel days ago from a very savy person I've known since the early 80s who has invested in interest bearing instruments in a fiduciary bank in Geneva Switzerland years ago and continues to, and is on a 1st name basis with his banker..constant communication.

"Chuck, my banker called yesterday saying that the USA has compiled an aid package for the EZ. In order for the aid package to be "delivered", the U.S. IRS gets privy to all U.S. citizen's names who have interest bearing accounts in Switzerland, bar none." He went on to say his bankers said words to the effect that "I have billions of US dollars to get rid of in one week, returning it to my U.S. clients before the IRS gets here and they are hopping all over Switzerland as I talk to you."

Switzerland's main product is bankingas anyone knows, and the EZ is a major money source. The EZ needs that U.S. aid package desperately. So desperately that Switzerland doused all banking laws of secrecy a week ago to comply with the U.S. IRS stipulation (string attached) of getting USA citizen's and corporations' names, so that EZ gets the aid package...or else Switzerland may have to do without a huge chunk of EZ business if the aid pacakge is withheld by the USA. That would clout Switzerland immensely. Hence the compliance with uncle Sam.

Less places to hide anymore. Just a heads up for those who haven't found out yet. I realized the banking secrecy policies once held by Swiss bankers were eventually going to erode hence I never hid money there from tax liabilities I had. Tah da!

When you click on a link and the page appears in your browser, look down and on the left for the purple podcast icon that says "Listen to MP3 Click here" to hear the broadcast.

Basically the experts are saying buy the dip/consolidation for a long term bid that's going to happen for many factors discussed.

The recent EZ downgrades rallied USD somewhat with the "no place to hide" mode we're in now..seemingly raised USD and offered in that gain by USD, a resistance or temporary lackluster to precious metals.

Overnight Long/Intraday Short Gold
Reply   
Back in August 2010, we presented an idea proposed by our friends at SK Options trading for a very simple trading strategy: being long gold in the overnight session, and shorting it during the day. At the time of writing, such a strategy would have returned $2.16 billion from a $100 million initial investment in 10 years, a 37.46% annualized return. Today, we provide a much needed follow up to this quite stunning divergence. As SK notes: "we have revisited the article and written an update. Not only does the discrepancy still exist but it has been actually increasing. That fund would now be worth $5.26B, way up from $2.16B when we last wrote about it - in other words an increase of 143% in just over a year.

When we wrote about this in August 2010, the annualized return of the Long Overnight/Short Intraday gold index was 37.46% since the start of 2001. However if we measure from now the annualized return since 2001 is 43.24%, with the annualized return of the Long Overnight/Short Intraday gold index standing at roughly 64.4% since 2009."

The Euro was steady for the bulk of the European morning following the multi-country sovereign downgrade by S&P after the market close on Friday. The EUR/USD managed to hold above the lows established on Friday of 1.2622. The EUR/JPY cross did hit fresh 11-year lows during the Asian session at 97.04

At this time last week, I wrote, It looks like just about everyone with a chart has the same level as a target, which we show at 1.2587 (see chart). This along with 1.25 are key levels and the question seems to be whether the market makes a straight line at them or reverts to form with some backing and filling to shake out weak shorts before making the run. With this week seeing the market come back to full liquidity, watch the reaction to news as it will give a clue as to whether the eurusd makes a straight run or not.

CHARTING FOREX: Dollar Bullish Vs EUR, GBP, CHF This Week
Reply   
(Dow Jones via eFXnews) The following is a technical analysis of seven major currency pairs for this week:

1st resistance - 1.2874 (minor)
2nd support - 1.2588 (moderate)
2nd resistance - 1.3077 (minor)


EUR/USD is likely to trade with risks skewed to the downside this week after hitting a near-17-month low of 1.2624 on Friday, as long as the pair stays below Friday's reaction high of 1.2874. The five- and 15-day moving averages are.......

British Treasury chief George Osborne speaks to media at the Asian Financial Forum …
HONG KONG (AP) — British and Hong Kong leaders said Monday they will team up to develop London into an international trading center for China's currency.
British Treasury chief George Osborne said in Hong Kong that his trip to Asia this week, which also includes stops in Beijing and Tokyo, furthers dialogue with Chinese authorities and Chinese and British banks "on establishing London as a new hub for the renminbi market as a complement to Hong Kong."
Hong Kong's leader, Chief Executive Donald Tsang said a new private sector-led group will be set up to look at strengthening ties between Hong Kong and London in terms of settlement systems, market liquidity and the development of renminbi financial products.
Beijing is promoting the international use of the renminbi, also known as the yuan. It's also promoting Hong Kong, a semiautonomous Chinese territory with its own financial system and currency, as an offshore trading center for the yuan.
Last year, yuan-denominated bank deposits in Hong Kong doubled to 630 billion renminbi ($100 billion) as savers sought higher returns from the yuan, which has been strengthening 4-5 percent a year.
Beijing would like to see the currency become an alternative to the dollar, although tight capital controls limit its circulation overseas.
"It's clear that there's scope for substantial expansion of the renminbi market in coming years," said Osborne, who was speaking at a financial conference.
He said that in June 2011, China's share of world trade was 11 percent but the yuan's share of global foreign exchange trading last year was only 0.9 percent.

The strategist says global central bank FX intervention totaled just $84 billion in 4Q 2011, its lowest level since 1Q 2009. At the same time, G10 reserve accumulation accounted for all intervention in the quarter, with emerging markets non-existent.
