- Wednesday, May 15, 11:16 AM Gold (GLD -2.1%), (IAU -2.2%) sinks back below $1,400 as the bounce since mid-April is officially over. At work here, suggests RBC Capital, is the strong stock market. To participate, foreign investors sell gold, buy dollars (UUP is up big in May), and call their stockbrokers. Commerzbank notes gold ETF outflows were another 6 tons yesterday, bringing the total since early April to 230 tons. Silver (SLV -3.1%) tags along. 34 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, May 9, 3:06 PM The dollar (UUP +1%) is soaring across the board (not just against the yen, where it's now spiked through ¥100 to ¥100.56). The greenback is threatening parity vs. the aussie (FXA -1.1%) for the first time since last summer, and the euro (FXE -1.1%), swissie (FXF -1.4%), loonie (FXC -0.5%), and pound (FXB -0.6%) are seeing sizable declines as well. Commodities? Red. Gold (GLD -1.1%), Silver (SLV -1.2%), Oil (USO -0.6%), Copper (JJC -0.8%). 5 Comments [Global & FX, Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, April 29, 7:31 AM Precious metals continue their comeback tour, with the dollar (UUP) being lower across the board as good an excuse as any for buying this morning. GLD +1.1%, SLV +1.5% premarket. The greenback is particularly weak vs. the aussie (FXA), +0.6%. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 17, 3:37 PM Dollar strength against the "risk" currencies on these panicky sessions is often offset by weakness vs. the yen, leading to little change in the dollar index. Not today - the greenback is surging against nearly every asset on the planet, leading the dollar bull ETF (UUP +1.1) to a relatively outsized gain. UDN -1.1%. 1 Comment [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Friday, March 8, 8:45 AM SPY adds to gains following the better-than-expected NFP print, now +0.5%. The dollar pops, now +1.6% vs. the yen, +0.7% vs. the euro. UUP +0.6%. The long bond tumbles, falling a full point since the report's release. TLT -1.3%, TBT +2.9%. Homebuilders ETF: XHB +0.7%. Comment! [On the Move]
- Thursday, February 21, 10:31 AM Warming up to the idea FOMC hawkishness may be getting ahead of itself, precious metals reverse course. Gold's now up $26 from the overnight low, GLD +1%. SLV +0.7%. The dollar, however, continues to strengthen, UUP +0.3%. 7 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, February 7, 9:30 AM Dealing a blow to precious metals, the Chicago Fed's Charles Evans - as dovish as they come - tells CNBC QE could end before unemployment sinks to 7%. As for the 6.5% unemployment rate that might trigger rate hikes, Evans doesn't see that happening until mid-2015. GLD -0.7%, SLV -1.5% premarket. The dollar gets a bid as well, UUP +0.4% premarket. 21 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX, On the Move]
- Friday, September 14, 2012, 7:13 AM The dollar continues a big move lower following the Fed's open-ended QE announcement and Bernanke's anything it takes as long as it takes press conference. The euro +1% to $1.3116, the aussie +0.5% to $1.06 - neither of those handles have been seen for months. The loonie +0.4% to $1.0367, a 2012 high. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Friday, August 31, 2012, 9:15 AM Somebody thinks the Fed is about to take steps to reverse the recent shrinkage in its balance sheet, the Dollar Bull ETF (UUP) is -0.8% premarket, a significant drop for the slow-moving index. Comment! [U.S. Economy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 2:35 PM Maybe biggest reaction to the dovish FOMC minutes comes from the precious metals, gold adding nearly 1% to $1,648/oz., and silver tacking on a similar amount to $29.67. GLD +0.6%, SLV +1.5%. Currencies: The euro adds 50 pips to $1.2526. The pound, aussie, yen, and loonie all get a boost as well. UUP -0.5%. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, May 4, 2012, 7:59 AM Crude oil continues its big late-week slide, -1.6% to $100.90/barrel. The price stood at $106.30 less than 72 hours ago. The steep decline coincides with a strong move higher in the greenback. Coincidence? Comment! [Commodities, On the Move, Global & FX]
- Friday, March 9, 2012, 9:07 AM The dollar is moving sharply higher against most major currencies following the jobs report. It's the opposite of recent market action where, perversely, strong U.S. economic news saw the greenback drop as money moved into "risk" assets, of which the euro, the pound, and the aussie are now thought of. The euro -1.1%, pound -0.7%, aussie -0.4%, yen -1.1%. UUP +0.8% premarket. 1 Comment [On the Move, Global & FX]
- Thursday, December 1, 2011, 11:49 AM The greenback and the euro quickly surge higher vs. the Swiss franc on a rumor the SNB is considering additional weakening steps, including the imposition of negative interest rates. FXF -0.3%. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Monday, November 21, 2011, 11:19 AM Wild action in the currency markets where the euro is having none of this "risk off" action, soaring in the past few minutes to $1.3521, unchanged for the day. The other "risk" currencies - the aussie, the loonie, the real, the peso ... all remain sharply lower. Something's up. 5 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Friday, November 11, 2011, 12:58 PM The Swiss franc dives against both the euro and greenback after the SNB's Jean-Pierre Danthine hits the wires saying the back is prepared to take further measures to weaken the currency. Chatter abounds the SNB is to move the euro/franc floor from CHF 1.20 to CHF 1.30. The euro currently buys CHF 1.24, +0.5%. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
- Thursday, October 27, 2011, 9:25 AM A check of the currency markets shows the dollar longs getting fried in both the "risk on" and the "risk off" currencies. Risk on: The aussie +2.8% to $1.0685 (was $0.94 3 weeks ago!). Risk off: the greenback -1.9% vs. the swiss franc to CHF 0.8640, and don't forget a new low vs. the yen. UUP -1.4% premarket. Comment!
