Forex – Weekly Outlook: November 1-5

Posted: 31 Oct 2010 02:46 AM PDT

Forex Pros – The week beginning November 1 comes after a week which was dominated by uncertainty over fresh monetary easing by the Federal Reserve ahead of the bank's November 2-3 policy meeting.

The flurry of largely disappointing U.S. data released on Friday seemed to underline expectations that the bank will intervene to support the U.S. economic recovery.

Official data showed that U.S. GDP rose at an annual rate of 2.0% in the third quarter, in line with expectations, after rising … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

Roubini: What’s Ahead For The Fed?

Posted: 31 Oct 2010 01:50 AM PDT

The report below comes courtesy of Nouriel Roubini's team of analysts at RGE.
"An anemic and subpar U.S. recovery amid balance-sheet repair, weak demand, slack in the economy and disinflationary pressures has always been our baseline scenario. By the summer of 2010, the disinflationary bias in expectations had become more evident, and the economy – lacking a self-sustained recovery – had started heading toward a dangerous stall speed.

The Big Picture For Gold & Silver: Will A Buy-And-Hold Strategy Work?

Posted: 31 Oct 2010 12:01 AM PDT

This first daily chart examines the gold secular bull market beginning in late 2001, with emphasis on the relationship between C wave tops and the underlying 200 day moving average, and provides some guesstimates for just how high gold will fly in the months ahead.  In brief, I am thinking that gold could reach as high as $1,600 in the next 5 weeks and $2,000+ before this C wave has concluded next late Spring.

South Africa: Opportunism And Where It Leads Rand & Prime

Posted: 30 Oct 2010 11:34 PM PDT

By Cees Bruggemans, Chief Economist of FNB.
Central banks claim, with some justification, they can do only so much. But what they do hardly ever remains without effect.
The main modern objective of monetary policy is to keep inflation low and contained, and employment full and growing at potential (or something sounding like it).
An ultra-modern addendum would be to prevent asset markets from acquiring bubble conditions (unless it is seen as part of macro-prudential policy, another leg).

Why Producers Aren’t Hedging Natural Gas

Posted: 30 Oct 2010 10:01 PM PDT

Natural gas prices in Canada are so low that end users are now trying to seduce producers to hedge, so they can lock in longer term low prices.  But few producers are keen to lock in long term losses.

RBC, Canada's largest brokerage firm, suggested in a weekly comment that producers still have many reasons to hedge at $3.27 a gigajoule (GJ) now, and $4.11/GJ in April 2011.  For context, the full-cycle cost for new gas in North America is $5.60/mmcf and in Canada is $6.85/mmcf, … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

Stock Market And ETF Outlook: Will The Week Ahead Be One Of ‘Trick’ Or ‘Treat’?

Posted: 30 Oct 2010 09:07 PM PDT

As everyone knows, Sunday evening is Halloween and your neighborhood, like mine, will likely be filled with ghosts, goblins and ghouls as we celebrate this timeless holiday.  Halloween is thought to have originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, or summer's end, and marks the end of the lighter half of the year and entry into the darker half.  It's a holiday to honor family ancestors and put on costumes and masks to fight off evil spirits and sidestep harm and … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

US Dollar Falls To All-Time Low Against The Japanese Yen!

Posted: 30 Oct 2010 07:01 PM PDT

Happy Halloween FX fiends, I mean friends! Indeed, it is very scary at least for the USD as it is now trading at a new historical low versus the Japanese yen. To end the week, the USDJPY surpassed its former all-time low at 80.43 which it set way back in April 1995 and closed at 80.38. As you can see from its weekly chart, the pair has been on a long term downtrend since the latter part of 2007. Based on the Elliot Wave Principle, where prices move in a 5-wave cycle before correcting, … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

The Real Center Of American Politics: A Reflection On Jon Stewart And Stephen Colbert

Posted: 30 Oct 2010 06:45 PM PDT

The true center of American politics isn't found where most of us agree. We fiercely disagree. That's not a problem. Democracy assumes disagreement.
The true center is about how we resolve those disagreements. Most of us believe we should work them out respectfully.
We don't believe in winning political arguments through bullying, name-calling, lying, intimidating, or using violence.
In other words, the political center isn't about what we decide It's about how we decide. The center … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates
