- Friday, February 3, 2012, 8:51 AM A spike in the euro following the big NFP number quickly reverses in a big way as traders realize it's not about "risk on," but instead about a U.S. economy getting strong vs. a still-weak EU - that's bullish for the dollar. Euro -0.2% at $1.3120. 8 Comments [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, January 24, 2012, 1:21 PM While the euro's slide vs. the dollar has tailed off of late, Nomura's Jens Nordvig reckons that the single currency will soon resume its fall. This is because as investors continue to cut their exposure to the eurozone, they'll take their money out of the region and put much of it in the U.S. Comment! [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, January 20, 2012, 3:52 PM Another week, another record net short position in the euro for non-commercial speculative traders, according to the CFTC. It's possible the euro's sharp rally this week shook out some of the shorts, but today's report only has data through the 17th. Next Friday's report should give a better read. (raw data here) Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, January 9, 2012, 8:51 AM An ex-punter who worked at Louis Bacon's Moore Capital, now former SNB chief Hildebrand was the key architect behind the bank's setting of the 1.20 floor under the euro's value (as measured against the franc). His trading acumen is likely one of the reasons the SNB's resolve on this line has yet to be tested. Euro/franc is now at CHF 1.2140, off a bit since the resignation announcement. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, December 20, 2011, 5:05 AM Japan should consider holding Chinese government bonds as a way to strengthen ties between the two countries, says Japanese finmin Jun Azumi, marking the first clear indication that Japan intends to shift part of its foreign reserves into yuan-denominated Chinese debt. At the moment, Japan's $1.3T reserves are mainly denominated in dollars, with a small euro portion. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Monday, December 5, 2011, 7:16 AM "Between a trickle and a flood," is how one private banker describes the move out of euros into other currencies by the EU's wealthiest investors. The greenback and the yen are favorites, with London property also popular. But Italy just banned cash transactions over €1K euros. Capital controls coming soon? Comment! [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]
- Wednesday, November 30, 2011, 9:00 AM Today's swap move explained: The ECB (for example) can sell euros to the Fed in exchange for dollars at the prevailing market rate, at the same time agreeing to buy back said euros at the same rate. The swap refers to the cost to the ECB for doing such, and today's action lowers it 50 bps. "It's a global effort to add dollar liquidity," writes Quint Tatro, hence, dollar down, assets up. 3 Comments [Global & FX, U.S. Economy]
- Sunday, November 27, 2011, 3:59 PM "The Fed has the authority to buy foreign government debt," said Ben Bernanke in 2002. "Potentially, this class of asset offers huge scope for Fed operations." With the ECB's hands apparently tied as the eurozone crisis threatens to spiral out of control, has the time come for the Chairman to step in? "The Fed needs to buy up every single European bond owned by every single American financial institution for cash," says Brad DeLong. 47 Comments [Global & FX, U.S. Economy]
- 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]
- Monday, November 21, 2011, 8:59 AM Not fazed by 0% interest rates, money is headed to the U.S., with foreign bank deposits at the Fed more than doubling to $715B from $350 at 2010's end. "There's not anything close to a substitute and part of it is the deepness of the market, the liquidity," says a fund manager. "There's a perception, right or wrong, that we're going to make good on all our assets." 3 Comments [Financials, Global & FX]
- Thursday, November 17, 2011, 5:18 AM With China laying the groundwork for internationalization of the yuan, the renminbi could "mount a challenge" to the dollar in 5-10 years, a Congressional report says. The yuan still has much catching up to do, though, as it accounts for 0.3% of international currency trading while the dollar is involved with 85%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, November 11, 2011, 4:15 PM Beware the simple explanation, writes Mark Dow, discussing currency movements. The dollar's decline has little to do with Ben Bernanke, and is more about a secular move begun in 2002 as those in emerging markets felt more comfortable holding domestic currency. The dollar still makes up 63% of global reserves, but the U.S. is just 20% of global output. There's a lot more to go. Comment! [Global & FX]
- 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]
- Wednesday, November 2, 2011, 1:23 PM In the hour since the FOMC statement, stocks have moved to session lows, though still higher on the day. S&P 500 +0.8%, Nasdaq +0.3%. As night follows day, the greenback moves higher, the dollar index erasing nearly all of a more than 1% loss. UUP -0.1%. 2 Comments [On the Move, U.S. Economy]
- 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!
