Fading of the Home Bias: The Unappreciated Story

February 16, 2007
Investors have traditionally shown a preference for their own markets. This is perfectly understandable. Invest in what you know best, is often the advice of professionals. However, liberalization of capital markets and the pursuit of better returns have seen the home-bias fade. This is especially noteworthy in Japan, one of the world’s largest cr…

Gaming G7

February 09, 2007
Over the last couple of weeks we have consistently argued that the European finance ministers were setting up the market for disappointment if the G7 statement does not single out Japan or express concern over the weakness of the yen. We had thought such disappointment would hit the yen hard. However, the price action has been such where we now su…

Currencies Should Reflect Fundamentals, I love Mom, and Apple Pie

January 26, 2007
Who can disagree with such platitudes? And yet officials appear to think they are saying something substantive when they say foreign exchange prices should reflect fundamentals. Of course they should. Can they do anything but reflect fundamentals? The issue is not fundamentals versus something else, but which set of fundamentals.

January 19, 2007
Over the past six weeks, foreign exchange and short-term interest rate markets have made significant adjustments.

Central Banks, Surprises and Otherwise

January 12, 2007
In our age of transparency, monitoring the signals from the major central banks is not a full time occupation. Wall Street used to hire people whose sole job was to mine the data and official comments for clues into policy. Such people now are among the endangered species.

Poor Conjugation: US Economy and the Dollar

January 05, 2007
The U.S. jobs data caps a string of impressive data that should but probably won’t silence the pessimists. Already the unseasonably warm weather is being cited by some to dismiss the recent stability of new and existing home sales and the stronger than expected employment data. It is unlikely that one of the biggest bond fund managers will change …
