Comex Pressure Point, The Coming Isolation Of The US Dollar / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The typical human reaction to any infection, vermin, danger, or toxicity is to stand back, to isolate the agent, to trap it, to prevent its further spread or release, then to remove it in a safe secure way if possible using trained professionals. Eventually decisions must be made on the level of acceptable risk on the removal, like what is willing to be lost or damaged or killed in the process. Risk analysis, cost trade-offs, and minimization decisions must be evaluated and executed. The toxic agent in global trade, global banking, and global bond market is the USDollar. In 2009, the Jackass began making a certain firm point. Those nations that depart from the entire USDollar system early will be the leading nations in the next chapter, with stronger foundations, richer solvency, emerging economies, healthier financial markets, efficient credit engines, growing wealth, stronger political helm activity, and better functioning systems generally. Imagine a contaminated blood system that infects, corrupts, and destroys all interior organs from the spread of the toxin.

The Road to the Euro: Birth Pangs of Globalism / Currencies / Euro
By: Rob_Kirby
From an historical context – it may be argued that global domination begins and ends – FIRST - with control of Europe. The unification of Europe, or global domination as a concept, is perhaps as old as war itself. Put simply, you cannot ‘rule the world’ unless you first ‘rule Europe’. History is littered with many examples of ‘would-be’ aggressors ***** oppressors who have set their sights on European conquest. While not exhaustive – here’s a list of a few:

Elliott Wave Analysis of USD/JPY / Currencies / Japanese Yen
By: WavePatternTraders
The relentless moves in the JPY pairs, is impressive to say the least, truly a remarkable run we have seen in some of the JPY crosses, some pairs like the EURJPY and GBPJPY have seen massive gains.
Although not one to be outdone the USDJPY has followed in sync, only now I think it’s nearing a potential high that should yield a decent pullback of 200-250 pips.

US Dollar Index Very Long Term Chart - A Rake's Progress / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Jesse
Here is an end of year update on the very long term US dollar chart, la douleur du monde.
As a reminder, this is a chart based on the DX dollar index.
That index is woefully out of date with the progress of the world economy and the currency wars with their competitive devaluations and rising currencies of the developing nations.

Dissecting the US Dollar, Biotech – The Next Major Bull Market After 2020 / Currencies / US Dollar
By: David_Petch
Sometimes a very simple picture can replace 1000 words, so as such, this brief update will illustrate what is driving the market. There was a minor shooting star doji put in place yesterday, which suggests weakness into the start of next week before starting to rise towards 81.5. Other charts that will be presented on Wednesday will illustrate that the coming top will be just that and in the process, create a setup for a very sharp decline. After wave [E] completed a long-term triangle, a subsequent cliff-like decline occurred, which appears to take the form of an elongated flat to form wave (A).

EUR/JPY - The Fear Of 108.00? / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Forex_Abode
Euro - Japanese Yen has been making attempts to break over 107.95 for past 3 trading days but has been failing to do so. The drop took it to 106.12 before the currency pair closed for the week at 106.66.
The fact that EUR/JPY has not been able to break over 107.95 suggests that we can expect some downward consolidation. Please note that this zone had proved to be a very strong resistance area during April 2012 and a strong fall had taken place from here. But on the other hand the support came exactly at 22-day EMA and that keeps us neutral initially. The weekly MACD stays above the signal line very bullishly, while the daily MACD has moved below the signal line. This also indicates that some downward consolidation may take place while bullish sentiments continue to hold.

GBP/USD - On the Crossroads? / Currencies / British Pound
By: Forex_Abode
GBP/USD went as high as 1.6130 but then went into sideways mode. Another attempt of upward jump failed 2 pips below it i.e. 1.6128 and the fall took the current pair to 1.6002 before the weekly closing at 1.6042.
On one hand the break above the psychological level and a move as high as 1.6130 brings in the bullish outlook but on the other hand a failure much below November 1st's 1.6175 argues in favor of some more consolidation if a break below the psychological 1.6000 takes place.

Should the UK Join the Euro? / Currencies / British Pound
By: Jan_Skoyles
Jan Skoyles looks at how the Euro might not be such a bad idea if it is the interim step to a return to the gold standard. Looking at a paper written by Jesus Huerta de Soto, she looks at the Austrian arguments for the UK joining the Euro, but concludes that the current path of central bank net gold investment and private citizens choosing to buy gold is more likely to be providing the first steps to the new gold standard.

Research Shows ALL Fiat Paper Money Systems Eventually Fail / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: GoldSilverWorlds
We often read or hear quotes like “paper money eventually fail” and “paper money always returns to its intrinsic value which is zero.” In this article, we provide evidence why these statements are true, backed by research in which 599 different forms of paper money have been analyzed. We explain in an easy to understand way what money fundamentally is, how monetary policies of governments are affecting everyone of us and how gold is first and foremost an alternative form of money (for each and every one of us, not only for an elite). Courtesy of Vince Cate for the incredibly valuable research and David Morgan who referred us to the research materials.

U.S. Dollar Cliff? / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Axel_Merk
As election euphoria settles and the "fiscal cliff" approaches, what are the implications for the dollar? Even as federal deficits may be unsustainable, stocks and bonds are up, and while the dollar may have resumed its long-term downward trend, the greenback has hardly fallen off a cliff. We look at how different tax policies might affect the U.S. dollar.

Currency Wars, Trading $ Driver, Forecasts 2013 / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Gordon_T_Long
Since September, the Currency Wars have escalated. It isn't just because of the seminal monetary events of the Federal Reserve's QE III "unlimited" and the ECB's OMT "Uncapped". It is highly likely, more about the fact that China announced its eleventh agreement that effectively bypasses using the US dollar with China's strategic trading partners. The latest agreement with Russia places trading oil, in non-US dollars, into the spotlight. The infamous petrodollar has had its destructive profile raised.

How Multinational Treasurers hedge their Foreign Exchange Exposure in Global Operations / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Sam_Chee_Kong
As can be seen from below since 1990, world trade between countries have been on the rise. The decline in world trade during 2008-2009 is due to the global financial crisis that affected many countries. However it did managed to reverse its direction by end of 2009 and continue its upward trend ahead. The ‘take off period’ actually happened since the year 2000 where world trade went up from 100 to 150 on the index.
