The Trend is Your Friend

September 30, 2011
The US dollar appears to be shining as a safe haven.  The Swiss remain committed to their peg and the weakness of consumer confidence and new threats of deflation can only harden the SNB's resolve.  Comments form one SNB member that it will diversify reserves into sterling and yen does not appear to be helping those currencies.  Surely Japanes…

Another Yen Update

September 29, 2011
Today is first time in two weeks that the US dollar has been above JPY77 and thus far the penetration is minor. Although no doubt Japanese officials and corporate Japan would prefer a weaker yen, given the concerns about the impact of the success of the SNB in blocking hot flow entering Switzerland, the stability of the yen must be partly welcome.…

Dollar Remains Heavy

September 28, 2011
The US dollar remains soft, near yesterday's lows.  The main developments today include somewhat higher than expected German state reports.  They follow on the heels of the relatively firm M3 and private lending figures and suggest that market talk of a 50 bp rate cut by the ECB is over the top.  As noted previously, the ECB is likely to focus…
