FOREX - Dollar holds steady ahead of Fed

2009-11-03T02:05:00.000-08:00

LONDON, Nov 3 2009 (Reuters) - The dollar held steady on Tuesday before the start of the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy-setting meeting, while the Australian dollar fell after its central bank raised rates but took a cautious stance going forward.
Falls in European share prices also supported the dollar, which has a tendency to gain when investors shed risk assets. Movements in the foreign exchange market were further dulled because Tokyo markets were closed for a national holiday.
The dollar fell as stocks gained the previous day after data showed a pick-up in manufacturing activity round the globe, but later lost some ground on concerns about the banking system.

In contrast, Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L) stocks rose some 2 percent after it said it would launch a record 13.5 billion pound ($22 billion) rights issue.
But UK and European shares were down 1.0 percent in early trade. A poor performance from UBS also weighed on shares.
At 0725 GMT, the pound was at $1.6308 GBP=D4, down 0.5 percent on the day, after falling to a one-week low of $1.6292.

The Fed is expected to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged near zero, where it has been since December. The focus is on how policymakers will represent future options, but many analysts say the Fed is unlikely to change the wording of keeping rates low for an "extended period."

Don’t write off the dollar

2009-11-03T02:00:00.000-08:00

By Donald Rissmiller

The bear case for the dollar may be well-known, but there are a number of reasons why it seems too early to bet on a collapse in the US currency in 2010, says Donald Rissmiller, chief economist at Strategas Research.
First, he says, as long as floors remain in housing and consumer confidence, the US economic recovery is sustainable. “Confidence eased slightly in October but remains above its recent low,” he notes.
Second, he believes the saving/investment equation is not yet sufficiently imbalanced to suggest a dollar crisis is imminent.
Furthermore, the debt-to-GDP ratio remains below the 100 per cent level typically considered problematic. “While there has been some talk of an eventual US debt downgrade, the timeframe still appears to be several years away.”
Mr Rissmiller also argues the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates, while employing tools such as paying interest on reserves, leaving its balance sheet elevated. “There’s a lot of room for tighter US monetary policy before policy becomes ‘tight’,” he says.
Also, foreign central banks could intervene in support of the dollar, given the global push for exports as a solution to the economic downturn.
Finally, pegged and semi-pegged currency countries, such as China, have little incentive to disrupt the current trade system. “Without inflation in developing Asia, there’s little need to make drastic changes now,” he says.

Dollar ‘Downtrend’ May Be Continuous for Some Time

2009-10-14T01:10:00.000-07:00

By Daniel Tilles , 2009 Oct. 14 (Bloomberg)

The dollar’s decline may persist amid speculation the Federal Reserve won’t need to raise interest rates for some time, according to Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc.

Comments yesterday from Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn feel “like a slap-down of the recent rash of more hawkish rhetoric,” Greg Gibbs, a foreign-exchange strategist in Sydney, wrote today in a report. “It reads to me like, sure we can raise rates and quickly if we have to, but we are very unlikely to have to, at least for a long time.

‘‘Such sentiments at the core of policy making at the Fed suggest the dollar downtrend will be broad and continuous for some time yet.’’

The dollar fell today against 15 of the 16 most-traded currencies, dropping 0.2 percent to $1.4883 per euro as of 7:30 a.m. in London.

Dollar Decline Won’t Evolve Into a Crisis

2009-10-14T01:08:00.000-07:00

By Matt Townsend , 2009 Oct. 13 (Bloomberg)

The dollar’s decline won’t turn into a crisis because of calls by central bankers for strength in the currency, the lack of a wholesale shift in reserve holdings and the absence of inflation, according to Bank of America Corp.

“We find the suggestion of an impending U.S. dollar crisis caused by a run-up in inflation or a sudden shift away from the dollar as the global reserve currency unconvincing,” John Shin, a strategist in New York at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, wrote today in a note. “We believe the growing chorus of voices calling for dollar strength is an important part of the end-game for dollar weakness within G-10.”

The dollar declined today to the weakest level against the euro since before the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. The U.S. currency fell as much as 0.7 percent to $1.4876 per euro, the lowest since Aug. 22, 2008. Shin forecasts that the dollar may weaken to $1.50 against the euro by year-end.

The Federal Reserve’s asset purchase programs to unclog the credit markets won’t weigh down the dollar, Shin wrote. “In fact, the opposite is more likely as the Fed starts to drain liquidity in 2010 in preparation for eventual rate hikes.”

The U.S. central bank has bought $297 billion in U.S. debt under a plan to purchase as much as $300 billion of Treasuries that is set to expire this month.

Increasing concern over the dollar’s role as the global reserve currency won’t be the greenback’s downfall either because there aren’t any “genuine competitors,” Shin wrote.

European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said Oct. 8 that a strong dollar is “important,” repeating previous remarks. Toyoo Gyohten, an adviser to Japan’s new finance minister, said the same day there is “no better alternative to the dollar.” Bank Rossii First Deputy Chairman Alexei Ulyukayev said Sept. 29 that Russia will keep buying Treasuries because there’s no realistic alternative.

PhotoZoom Pro 3 v 3.0

2009-10-08T01:59:00.000-07:00

PhotoZoom Pro (formerly known as S-Spline Pro) is based on S-Spline XL, a renewed and improved version of our patented self-adjusting, many times awarded S-Spline interpolation technology. As we did with S-Spline, our S-Spline XL technology again introduces a revolutionary breakthrough in digital image enlargement. It is able to render sharp and crisp clear image magnifications perfectly focused, yet without the jagged edges, loss of detail, or lack of photorealism that normally come with enlarging images.

Many professionals are familiar with the problem; quality loss caused by digital image magnification. In many cases a great deal of time is spent on achieving only a fairly acceptable enlargement result, however there are familiar side effects including out-of-focus images and serrated edges which is illustrative for the lack of professional magnification software.

The software is perfectly suited for digital photography, large printing, DTP, web design and online publishing, but also for industrial image processing such as space technology, security, medical, and forensic applications.

Strong Dollar pledges discounted

2009-10-08T01:55:00.000-07:00

October 8, 2009

More than a decade after former US Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin made the ``strong dollar'' national policy, currency traders say the same words coming from the Obama administration have little meaning.

Timothy Geithner, the current Treasury secretary, has tolerated the greenback's 12 per cent slide from its peak this year in March as measured by the Federal Reserve's trade-weighted Real Major Currencies Dollar Index. While he said as recently as Oct. 3 that ``it is very important to the United States that we continue to have a strong dollar,'' the last time the US intervened in markets to support its currency was 1995.

The weaker US dollar may boost America's exports as the economy recovers from the deepest recession since the 1930s. The risk is that it may also drive away America's largest creditors just as the Treasury relies more than ever on foreign investors to buy the bonds financing Barack Obama's stimulus spending. The US dollar's share of global currency reserves fell in the second quarter to 62.8 per cent, the lowest level in at least a decade, the International Monetary Fund in Washington said on Sept. 30.

``Since the (US) dollar has been weak and weakening for years, Geithner was using a code phrase, a carry-over from the Bush administration,'' said David Malpass, president of research firm Encima Global in New York. ``It means that the US approves of a constantly weakening dollar but doesn't want a disruptive collapse,'' said Malpass, the former chief economist at Bear Stearns Cos. and deputy assistant Treasury secretary from 1986 to 1989.

FOREX - Aussie leads US dlr selloff

2009-10-08T01:53:00.000-07:00

Thu Oct 8, 2009
By Jamie McGeever

LONDON, Oct 8 2009 (Reuters) - The dollar weakened on Thursday after strong Australian jobs data sent the Australian dollar sharply higher and an upbeat U.S. corporate earnings report fuelled investor demand for higher risk and yield at the expense of the greenback.

Australian data beat expectations for a fall in jobs in September, with 40,600 positions created instead, pushing the Aussie to a 14-month high against the U.S. currency as markets anticipated more interest rate hikes to come. [ID:nSYD431125]

U.S. aluminium producer Alcoa Inc (AA.N) reported a surprise third quarter profit, which boosted overall bullishness about a global recovery. [ID:nN07320124] European stocks rose at the open and Wall Street futures pointed to a higher open too.

But European traders are unlikely to move currencies as much as their counterparts in Asia did, as they await the European Central Bank and Bank of England policy meetings later in the day.

"The Aussie data was way above expectations ... and certainly backs up what they did this week," said Derek Halpenny, currency economist at BTM-UFJ in London, refering to the Reserve Bank of Australia's rate hike earlier this week.

"Equity markets are up, and the general sentiment there is good after the Alcoa figures," he said, explaining that until U.S. interest rates and yields rise too, a backdrop of rising equities and risk appetite will be broadly dollar-negative.

At 0730 GMT the dollar index .DXY, a measure of the greenback against six major currencies, was down 0.7 percent on the day at 75.95, a two-week low and not far off its 2009 low set last month at 75.827.

Yen Falls as China, Korea Economic Reports Spark Yield Demand

2009-09-30T22:22:00.000-07:00

By Yoshiaki Nohara and Ron Harui
Oct. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The yen weakened against the dollar and euro after economic reports from China and South Korea sparked demand for higher-yielding assets in emerging economies.
The yen weakened against 14 of its 16 major counterparts before a German report that may show retail sales grew for a second month and after Japan’s former top currency official said there are few reasons for the yen to rise. The greenback touched year lows against the won and Australian dollar as manufacturing grew for a fourth month in China and South Korea posted the smallest decline in exports since shipments began sliding in November 2008.
“Solid data are brightening the economic outlook, improving risk appetite,” said Tetsuya Inoue, chief researcher for financial markets and technology studies at Nomura Research Institute. “As emerging-market currencies benefit, the yen is being sold somewhat.”
The yen fell to 131.51 against the euro as of 1:30 p.m. in Tokyo from 131.33 in New York yesterday. It was at 89.91 to the dollar from 89.70. The dollar traded at $1.4626 per euro from $1.4640 in New York yesterday.
The U.S. currency was at 88.12 cents per Australian dollar from 88.28 cents. It earlier touched 88.59, the lowest since August 2008. The won was at 1,180.55 per dollar from 1,178.10. It earlier reached 1,166.50, the strongest level since September 2008.
The yen fell as a report today showed China’s Purchasing Managers’ Index gained to 54.3 in September from 54.0 in August. Economists in a Bloomberg News survey estimated the reading from the Federation of Logistics and Purchasing in Beijing would be 55.0. Markets in Hong Kong and China are closed for holidays.
“The China PMI increase means that the global economy is set for a steady expansion,” said Tomoko Fujii, senior currency strategist at Bank of America Securities-Merrill Lynch in Tokyo.

Korean Won

South Korea’s currency earlier advanced against the dollar after the government said overseas sales fell 6.6 percent from a year earlier in September, less than August’s 20.9 percent slide and the 10.5 percent decline forecast by economists in a Bloomberg survey. Confidence among local manufacturers is at a two-year high, according to a monthly survey published yesterday by the Bank of Korea.
German retail sales, adjusted for inflation and seasonal swings, rose 0.2 percent in August from July, when they climbed 0.7 percent, according to a Bloomberg News survey of economists. The Federal Statistics Office releases the data in Wiesbaden today. A German report yesterday showed the jobless rate declined to 8.2 percent in September from 8.3 percent in August.

Dollar Share of Reserves Drops as Euro Reaches Record

2009-09-30T22:17:00.000-07:00

By Brendan Murray and Matt Townsend

Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar’s share of global currency reserves fell in the second quarter to the lowest level in a decade as the holdings of euros rose to a record, according to the International Monetary Fund.
The U.S. currency’s portion dropped to 62.8 percent in the period ended June 30, from 65 percent in the prior quarter and 62.9 percent a year earlier. The euro’s share rose to a record 27.5 percent from 25.9 percent while the pound and yen gained.
The increase in the euro’s shares may encourage more criticism of the dollar’s role as the world’s main reserve currency. World Bank President Robert Zoellick said in a speech on Sept. 28 that the dollar’s status will be challenged and shouldn’t be taken for granted.
“It keeps the conversation going,” said Samarjit Shankar, a managing director for the foreign-exchange group in Boston at BNY Mellon Corp., the world’s largest custodial bank, with more than $20 trillion in assets under administration. “In the grand scheme of things, these trends are very, very gradual.”
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan said today at a news conference that the role of special drawing rights as a global currency may be discussed during meetings of the World Bank and IMF in Istanbul next week. SDRs, a unit of account based on a basket of currencies, have been discussed as a long- term alternative to the dollar.

BRIC Nations
The BRIC nations, made up of Brazil, Russia, India and China, considered in June buying each other’s bonds and swapping currencies to reduce dependence on the greenback.
The U.S. currency’s value dropped 6.2 percent in the second quarter of this year, the steepest quarterly decline since the first three months of 2008, according the Dollar Index, which IntercontinentalExchange Inc. uses to track the U.S. currency against the euro, yen, pound, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc and Swedish krona.
“There is every reason to believe that the euro’s acceptability could grow,” Zoellick said this week. “The greenback’s fortunes will depend heavily on U.S. choices” on inflation, the budget deficit and financial-industry oversight, he said.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner reiterated last week after the Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh that “a strong dollar is very important in the United States.” He also said the government’s decisions on economic, fiscal and monetary policy will help determine the currency’s fate.

This is not a currency crisis

2009-09-23T13:25:00.000-07:00

By John Normand
Published: September 22 2009 17:35 | Last updated: September 22 2009 17:35

The latest sell-off in the dollar has prompted renewed talk of reserve diversification – but this is not the stuff a currency crisis is made of, says John Normand, global head of FX strategy at JPMorgan.
“Quantifying reserve diversification is financial alchemy – often attempted and never successful,” he says. “But there is decent circumstantial evidence that this process has accelerated since June.”
Mr Normand notes that global foreign exchange reserves are growing at $100bn a month, while official purchases of US assets are running near $50bn. “This sort of divergence is unusual in an environment where rate spreads between the US and the rest of the world are stable,” he says.
Mr Normand points out that official investors are still sizeable net buyers of US assets, even if the dollar share of total reserve recycling appears to be declining.
“We could pander to the dollar-crisis camp and claim that this divergence marks the beginning of the end for the dollar and US asset markets where foreign ownership dominates, but that course would be too easy,” he says. “It would also be wrong.
“The dollar crisis scenario still looks low-probability for the next three to six months since the US manages to attract a high absolute level of official financing, even though the US’s relative share of global reserves may be declining.”

EUR/USD: Trading the FOMC Interest Rate Decision

2009-09-23T12:50:00.000-07:00

The U.S. Federal Reserve is widely expected to hold borrowing costs at the record-low in September and is anticipated to maintain its $1.75T asset purchase program to encourage a sustainable recovery, and long-term expectations for higher interest rates may drive demands for the dollar as market participants speculate the central bank to tighten policy in 2010.

FOREX - The Dollar Fell to a one-year low against

2009-09-11T02:09:00.000-07:00

TOKYO, Sept 11 2009 (Reuters) - The dollar fell to a one-year low against a basket of currencies on Friday after Chinese data came in stronger than expected and added to economic recovery hopes, prompting investors to keep shifting funds to riskier and growth-linked currencies.
The dollar dropped to a seven-month low against the yen and a one-year trough versus the New Zealand dollar.
The Australian dollar erased earlier losses and gained versus the greenback after data showed China's industrial output expanded in August at the fastest rate in 12 months, slightly topping forecasts and showing that it was well on the road to recovery. [ID:nPEK370851]
Traders said pressure in the market to sell the U.S dollar was already strong on improving economic data and company earnings from the United States on Thursday, even before the Chinese data boosted risk-seeking sentiment.
"The pressure to sell the dollar is very strong and people are not questioning holding dollar short positions," said a trader for a Japanese trust bank.
The dollar index, a gauge of the greenback's performance against six other major currencies, fell as low as 76.625, its lowest since September 2008, before trading at 76.667 .DXY, down 0.2 percent on the day.
The dollar dropped as low as 91.34 yen on trading platform EBS.
Traders said dollar buying seen as coming from options desks looking to hedge their books which have exposure to options triggers crowded towards 90.00 yen are slowing the dollar's fall versus the yen.
The market showed little reaction to data showing Japan's economy grew a revised 0.6 percent in the three months to June, less than preliminary figures had shown but confirming that the economy has crawled out of recession after a full year of sharp contraction.[ID:nT287585]
The euro rose 0.1 percent to $1.4601 EUR= after matching its 2009 high of $1.4614 on EBS first struck the previous day.
The Aussie rose to the day's highs after the Chinese data, regaining 0.1 percent to $0.8637 AUD=D4 and stood a touch closer to a over one-year high of $0.8669 hit earlier this week.
The Australian dollar earlier fell against the dollar and the yen as investors booked profits from this week's quick gains in the currency and after weaker-than-expected data on employment and retail sales this week cooled expectations for an interest rate hike as early as next month.

USD/JPY Mid-Day Outlook

2009-08-29T00:48:00.001-07:00

With an intraday low in place at 93.21, some more consolidation could be seen in USD/JPY. Nevertheless, while another rise cannot be ruled out, upside should be limited by 95.05 and bring fall resumption. On the downside, below 93.21 will target 91.73 low next.

In the bigger picture, recent development suggests that rebound from 91.73 has completed already. Also, it indicates that prior break of falling channel resistance was a false break. The failure below 98.87 resistance also keeps the lower high pattern since 101.43 intact and thus argues that such down trend is still in progress. A break of 91.73 will confirm this case and bring deeper fall towards lower trend line support (now at 89.82) next. On the upside, break of 97.77 resistance, though, will revive the case that USD/JPY has bottomed out at 91.73 and will turn outlook bullish again.

Dollar Soft in Tight Range

2009-08-29T00:46:00.000-07:00

Markets continue to lack a clear direction in early US session. Dollar remains soft in tight range while yen is trying to firm up a bit. Aussie edges further higher but Canadian dollar lags behind as crude oil softens a bit. US Personal income was flat in July versus expectation of 0.1% growth. spending rose 0.2%, inline with consensus. PCE deflator dropped less than expected by -0.8% yoy while core PC also slowed less than expected to 1.4% yoy. U of Michigan consumer sentiment was revised higher to 65.7 in Aug.

UK Q2 GDP was revised up from -0.7% qoq, -5.5% yoy, versus initial estimate of -0.8% qoq, -5.6% yoy. Gfk consumer confidence is unchanged at -25 in Aug versus expectation of improvement to -24. Sterling recovers mildly against Euro as traders take profits ahead of trend line resistance in the cross. Swiss KOF leading indicator rose much more than expected to -0.04 in Aug. Swissy also managed to strengthen against Euro. Eurozone confidence indicators are generally improved more than expected in Aug but provide little boost to the common currency.

Released from Japan overnight, headline CPI dropped further to a record -2.2% yoy in July, inline with expectation while core CPI also dropped to -2.2% yoy. It was the third straight month of record low in consumer inflation data and the fifth straight month of annual falls. Unemployment rate rose to record 5.7% in July while household spending slide -2%. The data argues that the government's stimulus plan are failing to spur demands which in turn push the economy deeper into deflation.

The dollar posted slight losses against currencies like the Singaporean dollar and the yen after speculations that the Fed will not increase its interest rates this year eased the optimist outlook for the North American currency this Wednesday.

The greenback slid against a number of currencies after the Federal Reserve dropped its expectations to increase the interest rates this year, as it was previously assumed, considering the improving economic situation of the United States. A report today may indicate that consumer prices fell the most since 1950 in the previous month, and if it is confirmed it can also weigh significant on the dollar exchange rates. The previous expectations of rate increases for December were precipitated, as the economic conditions in the United States as in other parts of the world are still far from suggesting it.

Economists refer the expectation for rate increases to be unreal, since the United States are still facing a present deflation. It is likely that when conditions improve around the world, a systematic global central banks will follow, but it is hard to count on this long term factors when trading currencies, considering that a lot of current events are moving most of the main pairs, making it hard to forecast the outcome for the U.S. dollar for the future months.

Forex News - USD Holds Steady on Data

2009-07-17T23:48:00.000-07:00

The greenback recovered from earlier session lows against the majors at the start of Tuesday trading, pushing the euro off from above the 1.40-level to 1.3940 and the pound beneath the 1.63-figure.

US economic reports released earlier in the session were mixed, with both retail sales and producer prices higher than expected for June. The headline retail sales figure edged up by 0.6% and beating estimates for a decline to 0.4% from 0.5% in May. The excluding autos reading missed forecasts for an unchanged number at 0.5%, instead declining to 0.3%. The June producer price index was sharply higher than expected, posting a monthly increase of 1.8%, compared with consensus estimates for an increase to 0.9% from 0.2% and lower by 4.6% on an annualized basis versus a 5.0% decline previously. The core PPI figures revealed a monthly increase of 0.5%, versus a 0.1% decline a month earlier and a 3.3% jump on an annualized basis compared with 3.0% a year prior.

Although the highly anticipated earnings report from Goldman Sachs beat consensus estimates, the equity market had largely priced in strong earnings and drifted into negative territory at the open. The Dow Jones, Nasdaq and the S&P 500 were lower by nearly 0.4%. Declining equities pushed the dollar off its session lows, recovering from the 1.40-level to 1.3950 against the euro. Crude oil continued to hover near the $60 per barrel level.

Dollar Climbs as Safety Demand Rises on Markets

2009-07-05T23:19:00.001-07:00

The dollar ended this week posting gains versus all 6 major currencies, as another wave of pessimism caused by grim reports in U.S. and U.K. spurred demand for the safety of the greenback.

Commodity linked currencies like the Australian dollar, and emergent-markets currencies like the South Korean won posted significant losses against the greenback, after a report in U.S. indicated more-than-expect job cuts, inflating risk aversion among traders, who immediately sold high-yielding assets to purchase assets priced in dollar, which are more reliable in times of uncertainty. Even the yen, which is often associated as a refuge currency during times of crisis failed to end the week positively against the U.S. dollar, as speculations in Japan this week suggested that the country may invest 10 percent of its public pension-reserve funds in high-yielding assets, damping demand for the safety of the yen.

Currency strategists affirm that this kind of reaction in markets was expected in case the employment figures in U.S. failed to rebound, fears that the global slump might be prolonged for an undetermined amount of time were already significant, and negative data like this week’s U.S. report indicating further job cuts rose risk aversion to high levels among traders, which were investing massively in high-yielding currencies, betting in a quick global economic recovery.

Brazilian Real World Biggest Loser as Recession Concerns Rise

2009-06-23T21:04:00.000-07:00

Forex News & Analysis
The Brazilian currency had the worst performance among the most traded currencies, as confused signals about the world economic situation increased risk aversion among traders, which are leaving high-yielding currencies to purchase safer assets.

Different factors pushed the Brazilian currency down this week as risk appetite declined, making stock markets around the world to fall, decreasing the attractiveness of emergent-markets currencies and their high-yielding profile. After a World Bank report indicating that the global recession may be deeper than expected, the already not solid confidence among traders to take significant risks was shaken, making currencies like the Brazilian real and the South African rand to lose against virtually all currencies. The price of oil fail to extend its gains, and being Brazil a main commodity exporter, a drop in commodity prices always weighs on its currency.

Currencies like the yen and the U.S. dollar suddenly became once again attractive due to its safer profile compared to higher-yielding options. The uncertainty about the global recession is once again moving markets sharply, after a significant rally in emergent markets currencies, risk aversion is once again heading investors towards safety, and it will be hard to determine Brazil’s real future, since confusion is big in markets, and overnight reports and decisions can influence traders majorly.

USD/BRL traded at 2.0305 as of 11:33 GMT from a previous rate of 2.0175. EUR/BRL rose from 2.7971 to 2.8348.

If you want to comment on the Brazilian real’s recent action or have any questions regarding this currency, please, feel free to reply below.

Yen Rallies Against Main Currencies on Increased Safety Demand

2009-06-22T09:23:00.000-07:00

FOREX News & Analysis
The Japanese currency gained against all 16 most traded currencies as economic concerns continue to rise around the world, causing another day of losses in stock markets, and spurring demand for the safety of the yen.

After a World Bank report indicating that the recession will be deeper than previously imagined, equities markets had a negative performance in different continents and risk aversion is back among investors, creating a perfect scenario for the yen to rally against all major currencies. The U. S. dollar lost ground against the Japanese currency as a report tomorrow is likely to show a decrease in durable goods orders. The South Korean won continue to lose against the yen as speculations indicate that tensions in North Korea may escalate. The yen lost intensively since signs of economic recovery started to appear, but as uncertainties about a world economic rebound rose, the Japanese currency is once again attractive.

Analysts refer the current yen’s rally with a lack of confidence in markets that the world will find its way out of recession easily and quickly, as there are still many factors indicating that the situation is far from controlled or resolved in many industrial sectors and economies around the world. We will tend to see a strong yen if solid evidences of economic recovery fail to appear, due to its refuge investment profile.

USD/JPY traded at 95.25 as of 10:47 GMT falling from 96.00 in the intraday comparison. AUD/JPY dropped from to 76.45 to 74.73.

FOREX - Dollar rises vs Euro on speculation of higher yields

2009-06-18T22:17:00.000-07:00

NEW YORK, June 18 (Reuters) - The dollar rose against the euro on Thursday after news of a change in the definition of the London interbank offered rate raised speculation yields on U.S. investments will move higher.
The euro's failure to firmly break the key $1.40 level also prompted investors to buy back the U.S. currency, leading to a reversal in prices, analysts said.
The British Bankers' Association said on Thursday it will change its definition of Libor to allow a greater number of institutions to participate in the daily rate-fixing process. Libor rates represent the average cost at which a panel of banks believe they can borrow funds. See [ID:nLI301653].
"The idea is that more banks participating in the Libor fixing ... will drive the Libor rate higher," said Kathy Lien, director of currency research at GFT Forex in New York. "That would mean the yield on U.S. investments will be higher, which explains part of the rally in the dollar."
Sharply higher U.S. Treasury yields also lent support to the dollar. Higher rates on U.S. investments compared to the rest of the world will make the dollar more attractive versus other currencies.
"Rates (are) really what's driving the euro/dollar today and causing it to underperform," Lien said.
Price action was choppy and traders said moves in the foreign exchange market lacked conviction, and many were waiting for the policy meeting of the Federal Reserve next week and more information on the global economy.
"We've really been stuck this week in a range and I think the market is searching for direction," said Steven Butler, head of FX trading at Scotia Capital in Toronto. "It's been see-sawing around depending on what the flavor of the day is."
In late New York trading, the euro fell 0.4 percent to $1.3885 EUR=, after rising as high as $1.4001, according to Reuters data.
The dollar had earlier fallen after the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank said its business activity index for the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region rose sharply to minus 2.2 in June from minus 22.6 in May. That was the highest reading since September 2008 and well above economists' expectations of minus 17.

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)-- The dollar bounced back from one-week lows Friday as investors reined in short positions ahead of the weekend.
The U.S. unit found additional support on a decline in risk appetite that sent traders from higher-yielding currencies, such as the euro, pound and Australian dollar.
This was also a function of profit-taking after the dollar declined to one-week lows a day earlier against the euro, U.K. pound, Swiss franc and Australian dollar.

3 Forex Trading Strategies For Trader

1. Forex Scalping System

This is one of the easiest strategies to follow and it focuses mainly on pinpointing resistance and support points, Fibonacci retracements can be used for these. If a price reaches a major support point you would have to invest big but if it reaches a major resistance point then you would have to invest less. Make use of small profit takes and tight stops. This will enable you to get high dividends through out the day and on each every trade. A small bounce usually occurs on major resistance and support points. Making use of a broker with small spreads would be a noble idea so that it does not take up your profits that much. This is a great strategy that you can use and you are able to try this by opening a demo account first.

2. Forex Hedging Strategy

The most common hedging strategy is the frequent selling CHF/JPY and buying GBP/JPY. The major target is to obtain great profits from the price movements. A GBP/JPY will earn great interest due to the interest rate differentials and you would also have to pay short for CHF/JPY because its interest is very low than compared to the GBP/JPY.
This strategy is considered to be of a very low risk because the currency pairs CHF/JPY would not go in the opposite direction tremendously and how ever this is a common carry trade used by several traders. It is a good strategy that will certainly give you a favorable dividend.

3. Forex Arbitrage System

A good arbitrage exists between spread betting and currency trading brokers. This situation arises due to the fact that when you make use of spread betting you will have the option of having pips prices in different currencies. For example you may have a long position on the GBP/USD at which your pips are priced at £7 per each point. In order for you to hedge you would make a short position for the GBP/USD making use of the standard lot.

Before you decide to adopt a trading strategy or system that you will use you should make sure that the system or strategy is very simple to use. Do not make use of a strategy that is complex for you to use and a good strategy or system is the one which takes you a few hours or a day to understand and master.

Forex Analysis - Economic Optimism Lifts Dollar,Yen Hit By Flows

2009-05-28T05:28:00.000-07:00

By Nicholas Hastings
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

LONDON (Dow Jones)--Optimism over the global economy is lifting the dollar Thursday in Europe, while the yen is getting hit by an upturn in investment flows out of Japan.
Although both the euro and the pound rose to $1.40 and $1.60, respectively, both have slipped back below these levels again, with the dollar showing consistent resilience.
Underlying sentiment towards the U.S. currency was helped by Moody's confirmation Wednesday that it doesn't have any plans to downgrade the U.S.'s triple-A debt rating, which the market previously thought was under threat.

Chrysler World Tours 3.0

2009-05-22T17:10:00.000-07:00

Chrysler World Tours 3 is the best freeware golf game I have ever seen. When I first saw it I thought it was commercial.

It is a reduced version of the pay game, but is identical in terms of function, graphics and depth of play. Surprisingly, the game engine is quite robust, using high quality graphics. There are different control options for point of view, club selection, strokes etc to get great results. You can play in championships and save your play history.

This game is unbelievable! For golfers, this is a must. If you are not, this is still a game you must try out.
