The greenback was mildly weaker on Friday but maintained its overall tone of consolidation as the week ended. The dollar's moves are extending its consolidation in a 1.24-1.28 range after hitting lows at 1.2330 back on Oct 27. While US equities have been More...
Nero may have fiddled while Rome burned, but US Treasury Secretary Paulson and Fed Chairman Bernanke might as well be on their way to Disneyland in some phantasmagorical celebration of having successfully stabilized the financial system. That is what bot More...
Renewed losses in equity markets and persistently weak economic data have boosted the dollar and the yen. However, considering that US equities hit new lows – the Dow Jones fell to almost 7500, and the S&P500 to about 750 – exchange rates were not aff More...
I received an email from a reader that contained an interesting fact:
Seven separate assets currently maintain an 85% correlation (or better) with the S&P 500 over the last six months.
Included in that group is Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index, emerging- More...

After another brutal sell off during the US session, equities in Asia and Europe staged a U turn bounce on rumors that Citibank may be looking for a buyer. Citibank whose stock sank to $5 per share and whose board meets today is facing enormous pressure t More...

Equities overseas have rebounded from their lows early in the day after the weak U.S. close on Thursday. The approaching weekend might have forced some to lighten up on their shorts. Also speculation that Citi is pondering some sort of steps to resolve it More...
The yen fell back sharply from earlier highs and the dollar weakened broadly on Friday as a rebound in global stocks from the previous day's rout curbed investors' demand for the Japanese and U.S. currencies. More...

The Canadian dollar lost 2-1/2 U.S cents against the U.S. dollar on Thursday as commodity prices weakened and global stock markets were routed. More...
Last night's market action was highly significant, and takes us into new trading territory. The catalyst, as has been the case for the past few months, was global equity market selling, with the Dow falling below the important 8000 level. Should that inde More...
Thursday was yet another difficult day for the markets. Politicians who apparently have no concept of the precarious state of the financial markets played brinksmanship with the bailout loan plan for the big three automakers. So much for “CHANGE”. More...
The commodity currencies (AUD, CAD and NZD) are sharply weaker vs. the USD. The USD is mixed to higher against the major currencies. Risk aversion has been in play today.
