  • GBP/USD A Glimpse of the Pound by Ralph Shell
    Was this the week we finally were able to get a glimpse of the real pound?  The failure to follow through to the up, after printing the 1.6875 trade on the 16th, was a warning.  If that is the best there is, then it is time to get out.  There did not appear to be much in the way... More »

  • EUR/USD Pair Stuck in Neutral by Ralph Shell
    The debate continues over the direction the Euro will take when it finally breaks out of the current pennant formation.  After edging close to the 1.50 level in the European session, the pair has now sold off to the 1.4860 area.  There were no significant European economic reports... More »

  • EUR/USD Another Test of the 1.50 Level. by Ralph Shell
    Once again the Euro is attempting to muster the strength to attack the 1.50 handle.  An early morning report of the Euro trade balance, which showed a -5.4B Euro deficit, compared to an expected +0.6B, and a positive 0.6B in the previous period caused the market to pause.  Perhaps the... More »

    Yesterday while the securities markets were forging ahead to new high ground the Euro faltered, perhaps signaling a decoupling of the tidy relationship between the S&P and the dollar.  For months now, the strong stocks had meant a weaker dollar, as those previously fearful of the... More »

  • Daily EUR/USD Commentary Equities Fly While the Euro Labors by Ralph Shell
     Last week's bounce from the 1.4830 looked like we would again assault the 1.50 level, however at mid morning the Euro is losing it's luster.  Comments by the Chinese bankers, prior to President Obama's Chinese visit were viewed as negative for the dollar.  According to Market... More »

  • EUR/USD Twin Deficits Grow but Who Cares by Ralph Shell
    It seems like everybody is posturing.  Yesterday Treasury Secretary Geithner, at a meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Group in Singapore, said it is very important that the US has a strong dollar.  In China PBOC Governor Zhou, said that they might be willing to consider... More »

  • EUR/USD Trade it Both Ways by Ralph Shell
    Yesterday's suggestion that the right approach was to scalp the short side was right on, but it is hard to get very aggressive when the pair has been on a six month run to the upside and is close to the yearly high.  We are now trading at 1.4880, down 1.60 point  from yesterday's... More »

  • GBP/USD Are the Bears Taking Charge? by Ralph Shell
    Just when it seemed the trading world was unanimously bearish on the USD versus everything else, the pound broke ranks, sinking to the downside.  Recent British economic reports have been constructive, and this mornings batch continued that trend.  Initial unemployment claims, which... More »

  • Is a Weak Dollar Creating a Bubble? by Ralph Shell
    With the equities markets forging ahead into new yearly highs yesterday, is it possible we are witnessing one of those hated, nefarious bubbles?  Nouriel Roubini,  one of the current ranking bears and a professional worry wart, has provided us with ample warnings about the consequences...
