- Monday, October 3, 2011, 10:49 AM After a failed attempt at a rally following the ISM number, the euro resumes going down, dropping below $1.33 for the first time since January. The downtrend now has in its sights, the YTD low of $1.29, hit just a few days after the New Year. FXE -0.8%. 1 Comment [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Monday, September 26, 2011, 4:30 PM Nissan (NSANY.PK) stays on point - 2 execs adding to last week's comments by CEO Ghosn for Japan to do something about the strong yen. "We're praying for the Japanese government to do something in terms of QE," says one. Another says he believes PM Noda is soon to take a page form the SNB. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, September 26, 2011, 12:45 PM An interesting thought on The Twist: Is the move a recognition that QE2 - aimed at Wall Street by pumping asset prices and sinking the dollar - was a failure? Operation Twist, it appears, is targeted at helping the average citizen by lowering mortgage rates and increasing purchasing power with a stronger dollar. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy, Global & FX]
- Thursday, September 22, 2011, 10:36 PM Currencies move somewhat higher, perhaps encouraged by the G-20, but more likely just bouncing a little after a serious drubbing. The euro +0.5% vs. the dollar to $1.352. The aussie +0.4% to $0.9776 against the greenback after falling nearly 10% over the past 2 weeks. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Thursday, September 22, 2011, 7:22 AM The dollar is sharply higher across the board, with the aussie and the loonie - commodity producers and highly levered to world (especially China) growth - falling the furthest, about 2.5% Both have fallen well below parity to the greenback after spending nearly the entire year above. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, September 21, 2011, 2:42 PM The dollar is moving solidly higher across the board, as markets' initial take is less-than-hoped for priming from the Fed. One currency of note is the loonie, where the greenback has popped above parity to its highest level in 2011. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, September 20, 2011, 8:45 AM The dollar and the euro momentarily soar against the Swiss franc as a rumor makes the rounds that the SNB is going to raise the floor on the euro/franc rate to CHF 1.25 from CHF 1.20. Earlier news that Swiss exports plunged in August make this morning a convenient time for such chatter. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Wednesday, September 14, 2011, 3:24 PM Previously expecting the euro to see $1.55 in coming months, Goldman's Thomas Stolper scales back - for reasons obvious to anybody who's been reading the papers - his expectations. However, his long term view of "broad dollar depreciation" remains unchanged. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, September 6, 2011, 10:01 AM This isn't the SNB's first rodeo. Frustrated at years of failed attempts to halt the franc's rise in the 70s, the bank set a floor under CHF/DEM (deutsche mark) in 1978. The move worked, but at the cost of exploding inflation - which went from near nill to 6.6% over the next 3 years. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, August 31, 2011, 9:26 AM The swiss franc is sharply higher vs. both the dollar and the euro even as risk is on and Switzerland announces a $1.1B stimulus package to fight the impact of "massive overvaluation." The dollar and the euro -2.1% vs the franc. FXF +2.1% premarket. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Monday, August 29, 2011, 10:23 AM Swiss franc longs continue to unwind, a combination of the Swiss getting hostile towards those who would hold its currency and the return of risk appetite. The franc is -2.1% vs. the greenback and -2.3% vs. euro. The common currency is nearly 20% higher against the swissie in 3 weeks. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, August 24, 2011, 12:12 PM Moves by Japan today may be less an operation to weaken its currency, and more an "admission that yen strength is here to stay." In this, authorities are following the recent lead of the SNB, whose actions are designed to cap the franc's rise and make its high level more tolerable for businesses. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, August 23, 2011, 11:12 AM "The euro is breaking down," says Alan Greenspan, who blames the sluggish U.S. economy on the uncertainty in Europe. Breaking down? If that describes the euro, than what phrase would The Maestro use regarding the dollar, which is off 13.7% Y/Y vs. the common currency. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, August 19, 2011, 7:15 AM With market volatility showing itself in equities, the currency markets are again subdued. There is little to report other than to those who expected a sustained "risk off" move to benefit the dollar vs. sterling, aussie, and loonie. The greenback is catching a bid against those units, but it's pretty marginal. UUP remains near a 52-week low. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, August 18, 2011, 12:57 PM The move higher in the Swiss franc is played out, says Bob Noyen, whose hedge fund banked some money on out-of-the-money call options on the swissie. Expecting the ECB to resort to its own QE, he's got a new list of safe havens - the Czech koruna. the Swedish krona (FXS), as well as the commodity currencies (FXA), (FXC). Comment! [Global & FX]
- Thursday, August 18, 2011, 10:50 AM The Swiss 10 year government bond yield plummets 18 basis points to 0.87%. As comparison, Japan's 10 year is at 1%. Looking at the money markets, euroswiss futures are pricing in negative 90 day rates all the way out to June 2013. It's not stopping money from continuing to flow to the franc, which has turned higher against the dollar and the euro. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
