AUD/USD and NZD/USD outlook next 24 hours: Australian PPI for Q4 today will warm the markets for Wednesday’s important CPI release. AUD’s break above 1.0450 on Friday maintains the positive momentum since mid-December and suggests an upward bias today with minor resistance at 1.0500. NZD similarly remains inside a five-week old ascending channel, minor resistance at 0.8080.

Can Big Oil Repeat Its Big Year?
Reply
(Dow Jones via eFXnews) Even today, $1.67 trillion is a lot of money. That is the amount wiped off the combined market capitalization of the top 50 energy companies between the end of 2007 and the end of 2011. Breaking it down offers big clues on Big Oil's prospects for 2012.
Every year, PFC Energy, a Washington, D.C.-based consultancy, ranks the top 50 listed energy companies in the world by market value. The latest, due Monday, has a surprise. The biggest.....

call me a cynic but
recall the thwacking that bond/note futures took last couple of days.
Timmay needs to sell $99bln this week in 2,5,7's. (The O needs to raise the debt limit too)
Ya think we needs a bit-o-fear to get those yeilds down to the "record" levels of the past several auctions.
Ya think Greece isn't a pawn and there's no central bank coordination...

Jed S. Rakoff is driving regulators nuts by refusing to rubber-stamp the kind of deals that have long defined Securities and Exchange Commission justice — boilerplate settlements in which companies use shareholders’ money to pay fines while they neither admit nor deny doing anything wrong.

the official details of the Greek default are important for the future default/haircut cases of Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Italy and France. without such official details the market will not have default "counting formula" for future cases, that will follow.

Megaupload Type Shutdowns and Patriot Act Are Killing Cloud Storage
The government’s takedown of the 800 pound gorilla online storage site Megaupload may have killed the cloud storage model.
Many innocent users have had their data taken away from them.
As PC World notes:
The MegaUpload seizure shows how personal files hosted on remote servers operated by a third party can easily be caught up in a government raid targeted at digital pirates.

and you thought it was a Liberal Eastern paper.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Whether it was democracy in action or spinelessness by cowed lawmakers, the campaign worked. House and Senate leaders said they would pull back the bills for further consideration. While a temporary breather may be helpful, lawmakers should not abandon the quest to curb the multibillion-dollar problem that is overseas online piracy.
Some opponents will fight any regulation of the Internet. This should not be acceptable. A free and viable Internet is essential to nurturing and sustaining the kinds of revolutionary innovations that have touched every aspect of modern life. But freedom and lawlessness are not synonymous. The Constitution does not protect the right to steal*, and that is true whether it is in a bricks-and-mortar store or online.

Swiss econony minister sees franc weakening midterm: paper
Reply
(Reuters) - Switzerland's economy minister Johann Schneider-Ammann expects the Swiss franc to weaken to about 1.40 francs per euro in the medium term, he told a Swiss newspaper on Sunday.
"My minimum expectation is that the Swiss National Bank keeps the lower boundary of 1.20 (francs per euro)," he told SonntagsZeitung. "In the midterm I expect purchasing parity to be reestablished. It lies at about 1.40 francs per euro."
The SNB set a cap at 1.20 francs per euro on September 6 to put a halt to the appreciation of the Swiss currency that threatened to tip the Alpine country into recession.
"The risk of a deindustrialization is still there at 1.20. Smaller and midsized companies cannot invest or replace staff," Schneider-Ammann said in the interview.
The franc has been trading in a range of 1.20-1.25 francs per euro since the SNB set its cap. It has gained ground towards the cap since central bank ex-Chairman Philipp Hildebrand stepped down in the wake of a scandal at the beginning of the month.
"The franc's strength has nothing to do with Mr Hildebrand's resignation. It is rather the downgrades by rating agencies that have led to uncertainty, pushing many towards the Swiss franc."
Schneider-Ammann stressed the SNB was independent and remained capable of acting despite the recent crisis.
Swiss industry representatives have repeatedly called for a shift in the euro-franc floor to 1.30 or even 1.40 but Hans Hess, president of industry lobby Swissmem, told SonntagsZeitung in a separate article this scenario was less likely at present.
"The risk of not being able to maintain an exchange rate of 1.30 francs per euro is much bigger than the risk of failing at 1.20," he said, adding that a shift would also mean acknowledging that the September move was not sufficient.
"That would harm the SNB's credibility in international markets that would certainly massively test this new floor."
Gerold Buehrer, head of business lobby economiesuisse who had called for a shift in the cap in the past, said: "The SNB has to defend the rate of 1.20 at all costs, a shift to 1.30 would be difficult given the unsolved euro zone debt crisis."
Only Swiss trade unions continue to plead for a shift in the franc cap, SonntagsZeitung reported.

The Greek debt bail out situation is not as close to a deal as we heard Friday afternoon. You never know in negotiations like this where the talks REALLY stand in a case like this because brinksmanship can be a negotiation strategy. A Greek default is not in the interest of official players or the banks. However, some private players might benefit from a triggering of Credit Default Swaps (CDS). No deal would be €/$ negative.

U.S. Republican Party sees a victory by Newt Gingrich (a strong Conservative) in South Carolina. The outcome has called into question expectations that Mitt Romney (Moderate Right) will win the right to oppose Obama for President in the fall. Most feel Romney would do better against Obama in the general election than Gingrich. Current polls suggest that race would be close. Re-election of Obama would generally be viewed by the financial markets as USD negative.
