Chinese Currency Manipulation is America’s Fault / Currencies / Market Manipulation
By: Ian_Fletcher
Despite the Obama administration's desperate efforts to keep the issue off the boil, Chinese currency manipulation is back in the news again. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner just politely postponed his official report on the question, and Beijing seems to have responded to this courtesy by hinting that it may allow some token appreciation in its currency.

Washington Not China Is the Real Currency Manipulator Here / Currencies / Market Manipulation
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: SHANGHAI, People's Republic of China - China just posted its first monthly trade deficit in nearly six years, a $7.24 billion shortfall for March that essentially torpedoes Washington's argument that the Asian giant is a "currency manipulator" of the worst kind.

Euro Crisis, Greek Bonds Crashing and Capital Flight as Default Risks Soar / Currencies / Euro
By: Bryan_Rich
It’s been two weeks since the bailout speculation surrounding the Achilles’ heel of the euro zone, Greece, has had some closure.
European officials kept the balls in the air as long as they could in an attempt to distract speculators … to manage fears of a Greek and euro-zone crisis. It was a carefully orchestrated game of confusion.

Currency Manipulation, Are Fixed Exchange Rates Coming Back? / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: Ian_Fletcher
The International Monetary Fund or IMF, long a citadel of free-market thinking, conceded in a little-noticed official report in February that controls on the international movement of capital may be appropriate in some circumstances. This report deserved more attention, because this is big.

Alert, Euro On Verge of Real Crisis / Currencies / Euro
By: Christopher_Laird
Something big is up, and it’s possible the Euro is going into a real crisis within two months…Is this the next big market surprise ala Lehman? Not exactly like Lehman, but of the scale of that crisis that shook the entire world and almost caused worldwide bank shutdowns in Fall 2008? I am beginning to think so, and have been discussing this looming new worry for subscribers, IE we are right at the cusp of something big for the Euro and the European Union, not only financially but very much so politically. Imagine what a real Euro crisis would do to – everything!

Rebuttal: Martin Wolf FT piece “Revaluing Reminibi” / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Shaily
Martin Wolf article in FT Revaluing Reminibi was an insightful piece of writing making an overwhelming case for the revaluation of the Yuan. I respectfully disagree with him and think that he too has given into the “crowd thinking” behind Yuan revaluation which is being led by Goldman, Geithner and a host of Investment banks in the US.

Euro Speeding Towards the Currency Graveyard / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: Larry_Edelson
Between 1998 and 2002 I published several articles on how the just born euro currency would ultimately fail, resulting in the collapse of the European Monetary Union.
Almost everyone, even my colleagues, scoffed at my forecast. But my reasoning was sound: No matter what the short-term benefits of the new euro, mainly in trade within Europe, I said, long term, there was no way the euro would survive, because …

U.S. Dollar Climbing Against Yen / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Steven_Vincent
Everyday this week (so far) the USD has climbed against the Yen. Today's action, in particular, is impressive because the USD has climbed, hurdled and sustained above its prior significant recovery rally peak at 93.78, which was established in Jan. The fact that the USD is so relatively strong vis-à-vis the Yen likely reflects the perceived and actual strengthening of the US economy compared with Japan. Tomorrow's Employment data (non-farm payrolls) could provide the catalyst for another thrust in USD/Yen.

Forex Market Signals from Commodities and LIBOR / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Ashraf_Laidi
The impact of interest rate differentials on FX is highlighted by the fact that the correlation between EURUSD and GE-US 10-year yields is now at +0.90, the highest since June 2007. Global bond yields may be rising across the board but the 10-year yield differential between Germany and the US continues to deteriorate for Germany, hitting 3-year lows at 0.73%.

The U.S. Dollar Rules / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Steve_Betts
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get! - Forrest Gump
Today is a continuation of yesterday in the sense that we are seeing some markets breakout and define their new directions. Yesterday the Dow posted a triple digit gain and closed well above what should have been strong resistance at 10,817, and early this morning we saw the US dollar rocket thru what had been strong resistance at 81.32. Right now the June US dollar futures contract is trading up .92 at 82.03, and although I can’t be sure where it will close, I feel fairly confident in saying that it will close above 81.32. The significance of this move is important and implies a lot more than the fact that the dollar is currently “strong”.
