How Appropriate is Central Bank Policy

November 02, 2007
The FOMC and ECB are often criticized for being either too accommodative or not accommodative enough. The Fed funds target rate has been cut by 75bp and the more balanced outlook from the recent FOMC meeting initially prompted talk that the end of the mini-easing cycle was at hand. However, renewed concerns about the soundness of financial institu…

Look out Below: Dollar Losses Accelerating

October 19, 2007
To be forewarned is to be forearmed: Risks are mounting that the US dollar’s slide accelerates into the end of the year. While the $1.4570 area, the euro equivalent of the old Deutschemark record high from 1995, is the obvious near-term objective, the combination of market sentiment and deteriorating interest rate support for the dollar, warns of …

G7 is Overshadowed

October 12, 2007
Another G7 meeting is upon us. It is the first such gathering since the market turmoil began and the acceleration of the US dollar’s decline.

Making Cents of the Dollar

September 21, 2007
The US dollar’s slide is once again prompting a steady drum beat warning that the end is nigh. While a further dollar decline seems likely, its demise is likely being exaggerated and a recovery is likely late this year or early next year. This view is predicated on the understanding that what is ailing the dollar is largely cyclical in nature and…

Trade and The Dollar

September 14, 2007
One of the interesting elements in the US dollar’s recent decline is that few, if any, are suggesting that it is being driven by its perennial nemesis, the large trade deficit. Most seem to recognize that the divergence of monetary policy and the anticipated trajectory of interest rate differentials are the significant force driving the greenback …

The Rubicon is Crossed

September 07, 2007
The unexpected decline in non-farm payrolls, the first such decline in four years, leaves no doubt that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at the September 18 FOMC meeting.
