British Pound in for a Sharp Fall? / Currencies / British Pound
By: Bryan_Rich
In my December 26 Money and Markets column I focused on the outlook for 2010, and the looming threats to global risk appetite. I warned that sovereign debt problems posed a major threat to global economic recovery. And I concluded that this threat represented a catalyst for a return of global risk aversion.

By: Michael_Pento
The European currency has depreciated dramatically against the US dollar in the past few months, falling from over $1.50 on December 1st to $1.35 today. The move has caused many investors to question the viability of the European Union and its currency, while also serving to reinforce the notion of the USD’s position as the world’s reserve currency.

Chinese Yuan v The U.S. Dollar: In The Case of Global Reserve Currency / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Dian_L_Chu
The practice of accumulating dollar reserves by the central banks has become more pronounced after the 1997 Asian financial crisis, when currency speculators hastened a balance of payments crisis in Thailand, Indonesia and South Korea by demanding dollars for local currency, depleting the central banks’ dollar reserves.

U.S. Credit Turns to Debt, Will The U.S. Devalue The Dollar? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
The ability to wage war on credit gave the West an insurmountable advantage over the East. The West’s credit, however, has now turned to debt and the West has lost its advantage. But the return to parity will not be easy.
The three hundred year economic expansion fueled by debt-based capital markets is coming to an end and with it, the hegemony of the West over the East. During that period, debt-based paper money propelled first England then the US to world dominion because of the ability to wage war on credit and to print money ad infinitum.

By: Nadeem_Walayat
In response to a number of requests for an analysis of the Australian Dollar, this article seeks to conclude towards a forecast trend for the British Pound against the Australian Dollar for 2010. Thought readers should note that I neither track nor trade this currency cross and nor do I have the time to spend several weeks performing an in depth analysis of the Australian economy, therefore I am instead will relying upon existing analysis of the U.S. Dollar and GBP as a relative guide in terms of currency trends.

Euro Dollar Cross Currency Analysis / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: INO
We ended 2009 with the overriding consensus that the dollar was going to be under pressure and keep moving lower against the euro. Well guess what, the euro proved to be even weaker than the US dollar as it moved to levels not seen since May of 2009.

Election Risks, Debt and Inflation Push British Pound Below £/$1.50 Towards £/$1.40 Target / Currencies / British Pound
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Sterling hit a new low for the year against the U.S. Dollar of £/$1.49, now having fallen by more than 10% from a high of £1.68 just a few weeks ago. The mainstream press has scrambled to explain the fall away as a consequence of the narrowing in opinion polls between Labour and the Conservatives that over the weekend showed the lead shrink to between 2% and 5% and therefore put the election into hung parliament territory (Labour has a in built 4% advantage over the Conservatives).

Falling U.S. Dollar, Buoyant Equities / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Mike_Paulenoff
While the e-mini S&P 500 appears to be consolidating at the top of its upmove from last Thursday’s pivot low at 1084.59, the DXY (cash dollar index) is in the process of giving back most of its upmove from earlier today. As of this moment, the combination of a falling dollar and buoyant equity indices argues for continued upside in the commodity-related names and indices into the closing bell – especially in the metals and mining names, including ETFs such as the GDX and GLD.

By: Ashraf_Laidi
The escalating negative dynamics surrounding GBP are giving FX traders a new means of going "long USD", as excessive shorts in EUR risk a short squeeze in light of possible "Greece breakthrough" of German banks purchasing Greek bonds. And so rather than getting caught wrong-footed in opening new shorts in EUR, FX markets face fresh pretexts for sending GBP back towards last year's lows.

By: Bryan_Rich
Toward the end of last year, many market followers were speculating on a Fed hike as early as the first half of 2010. Global stock markets had experienced explosive bounces, commodity prices had surged from the crisis lows, and risk spreads and market volatility had all subsided.

Short-term Bottom for Euro / Currencies / Euro
By: Mike_Paulenoff
As we noted Thursday, the technical set-up of the Euro/$US exhibits the requisite conditions for the establishment of a near-term bottom, followed by a relief rally to 1.3750-1.3800 in the upcoming hours/days. Let’s notice now that the euro is approaching initial resistance at 1.3720/50, which should give us a good gauge as the strength of the euro rally.
