Dollar Safe Haven

Posted: 27 Jul 2012 08:41 AM PDT

Thursday, July 26, 2012
The US Dollar continues to have its detractors, but the flight to quality effect is undeniable. Simply said, when the going gets tough, traders and governments alike flock to the greenback. Outside of flight to quality buying, the Dollar has also moved higher on its own merit. Some traders may wish to focus on the technicals in the near-term. It is imperative that the Dollar hold its recent breakout to keep momentum. Failure to do so could result in a correction or … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

President Obama: “If you've got a business — you didn't build that.  Somebody else made that happen.” Or in the case of 13-year old entrepreneur Nathan Duszynski in Holland, Michigan, who tried to start a business, and somebody else (government bureaucrats) made that not happen, as I reported on CD last week.  Here’s a video update from Michigan’s Mackinac Center for Public Policy:

Libor Scandal: Trader Highlights Manipulation In 1991

Posted: 27 Jul 2012 07:03 AM PDT

When did the scandalous manipulation of the London Interbank Overnight Rate, that is Libor, really begin?
I have posed that question often over the course of the last month. E-mails emanating from Barclays point to manipulation of Libor back in 2005.
The industry and regulators would clearly like to keep the focus of this scandal to the crisis period of 2008. Why is that?

Egypt Keeps Interest Rate Steady At 9.25%

Posted: 27 Jul 2012 05:09 AM PDT

    Egypt's central bank kept its benchmark overnight deposit rate unchanged at 9.25 percent, as expected, but said it would not hesitate to adjust rates in light of the downside risks posed to the economy from the challenges facing the euro area.
    The bank said in a statement that headline inflation eased by 0.55 percent in June from the previous month for an annual rate of 7.26 percent, down from 8.3 percent in May, while the core inflation also eased to 7.04 … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards
