Euro Maintains Upper Hand Against U.S. Dollar / Currencies / Euro
By: Mike_Paulenoff
For all of the trepidation about a Greek default, and the possible dis-integration of the euro, it appears to still have the upper hand in its relationship with the dollar.

By: Money_Morning
Kerri Shannon writes:
China has started diversifying away from the U.S. dollar, yet another sign that it's time to invest in the yuan.
A report from Standard Chartered Bank last week showed China's foreign exchange reserves expanded by $196 billion in the first four months of this year. About 75% of that investment was in non-U.S. dollar assets.

The Twin Spiral USD And EUR Collapse / Currencies / Euro
By: Andrew_McKillop
BYE-BYE THE EURO, HELLO THE DOLLAR
The basic problem of the Eurozone-17 nation group using the euro dates from long before the euro's
creation and its proven unworkability was well known in advance. There is no excuse for this. From the
often crisis-wracked EMU system (European Monetary Union) starting with the 1980s Ecu system and
becoming the EMU in 1992, the creation of the ECB central bank from the central banks of Eurozone
member countries, closely linked with non-members like the UK, only intensified political playacting
and meddling in the economy. The excuse for this was supposedly to foster federal-type political
integration of the European Union and achieve the goals of mostly forgotten treaties (except to
Eurocrats) such as the coal and steel community and Euratom.

Hyperinflation Lesson From Starving Billionaires / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: GoldSilver
As you may all ready know today, for the first era in human history, all currencies of the world are fiat currencies. This means every paper and digital currency around the world derives it's value by mere decree and or force.
Only gold and silver are money, they cannot go bankrupt. For bullion, default is not an option. Silver and gold need no coercion nor decree, they have been and always will be money.

If the U.S. Dollar Collapses, What Happens to Your Portfolio? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, BIG GOLD writes: Have you considered what will happen to your portfolio - and all the other areas of your life - if the dollar fails? The ramifications will be widespread, painful, and inescapable if you're not properly diversified.
Last month, I attended the Global Currency Expo sponsored by EverBank. The overarching theme, as you might expect, was that diversification out of one's home currency is paramount. While there were plenty of traders on hand, it was the big-picture talks that had the most pressing messages.

Is the Euro Safer than the U.S. Dollar? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Axel_Merk
Which one is safer: the euro or the U.S. dollar? Before jumping to a conclusion one way or the other, let's look at different sides of the respective coins. We have been warning for years that there may be no such thing anymore as a safe asset and investors may want to take a diversified approach to something as mundane as cash. We believe Greece has rather serious issues, but concerned investors may want to take a closer look at their dollar holdings for potential “contagion” risks. Let us explain…

By: Money_Morning
David Zeiler writes: Chances are, you've never before heard of Bitcoins.
So here's a quick primer: Imagine a type of money that you can't put in your pocket, that you can trade like a stock, that you can earn with your computer, that enables anonymous transactions, and most importantly, has skyrocketed in value 399,900% in the past year.

How Do You Kill the U.S. Dollar? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: PhilStockWorld
That's the question that was on everyone's mind last week. The smallest indication of Dollar strength caused a Global equity meltdown. As Stock World Weekly has been pointing out all year, and as evidenced by this 2-year chart of the Dow relative to UUP (Dollar index), essentially our entire 40% rally since last summer was at least augmented by QE2's 20% weakening of Dollar buying power.

US Dollar Death Spiral, Economy Hurtles Toward System Failure / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The combination of $trillion bond fraud, dependence on inflating home equity for economic development, oversized cars, oil dependence, constant market intervention, insolvent banks, insolvent homes, outsourced industry, endless war, budget deadlock amidst runaway deficits, raided US gold treasury, mammoth future benefit obligations, and handing over the keys at USDept Treasury to Goldman Sachs has left the United States to fend off systemic failure. The creeping price inflation that stems from USFed hyper monetary inflation and total ignorance on basics of capitalism like business formation have left the US vulnerable to disorder and chaos. The chaos in fact grows with the passage of time and the ruin of money, against a background of a cruel middle class squeeze. With one citizen in seven on food stamps and over 22% of the population jobless, the sunset of the American Empire is well along. The banker oligarchs are gradually killing the nation, its democracy, and its wealth engines during a sustained strangulation process.

By: Evalueserve

In the first half of fiscal 2010–11, the Indian economy grew at a healthy rate of 8.9%, and the majority of global growth going forward is expected to be driven by developing countries, specifically India and China. India is home to a vibrant services economy and a hotbed of outsourcing. Its economy has become increasingly interlinked with global markets as trade has flourished.

U.S. Dollar Unable to Strengthen / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
The Dollar’s recent rally appears over, or is it?
Until the start of May the Dollar had been under relentless selling pressure that drove it to within a whisker of 1.50 against the Euro. Then suddenly it corrected, very vigorously. The catalyst was a mix of events, but the Portuguese debt crisis was at the centre of the drama weakening the Euro.

Washington Killing U.S. Dollar's No1 World Currency Status / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Adrian_Ash
SO the YIELD offered by 10-year US Treasury bonds just fell through 3.0%, a five-decade low when reached (and then breached on the way down to 2.0%) in 2009.
More telling, the real 10-year yield – the rate of interest paid to new buyers after you account for inflation – just slipped back below zero, even on the official CPI measure of living costs.
