Bernanke’s Nightmare / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Brady_Willett
The Great Ron Paul (no factiousness intended as Dr. Paul is truly one of a kind), has once again stymied the not-so-great Bernanke. After listening to Bernanke ramble on about people buying precious metals because of tail risks*, Mr. Paul finally interrupted and asked Bernanke point blank: ‘Do you think gold is money’? Bernanke’s answer, after an awkward pause, was as follows:

The Bell Tolls For The U.S. Dollar / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Jeff_Berwick
What an incredible day. I spent most of my day overlooking the beach in southern Mexico and so I was unaware of the buzz of activity that was going on worldwide. Around sundown, as I do most evenings, I then made my way to my office, Starbucks, and took my place in my usual seat, the red comfortable chair with armrests and began to scroll through the news of the day via the last free place on earth, the internet. And what a day it was!

Panic in the Markets, Making the U.S. Dollar Safer, Return OF Your Money / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Axel_Merk
There is panic in the markets: reviving memories of the peak of the financial crisis, investors have recently appeared less concerned about the return on their money, rather focusing on the return of their money. In what is a hallmark of grave investor concern, investors are paying for the privilege of lending money to the U.S. government: the yield on one and three month Treasury bills has been flirting again with negative yields.

How the British Pound Sterling Fell From Grace / Currencies / British Pound
By: Aftab_Singh
The pound sterling has come a long way since its heyday back in the 19th and early-20th centuries. Since then, the dollar has taken its place and — potentially — is itself to be supplanted in the not-too-distant future. Here, I get to grips with the marginalization of the pound as the world’s favorite ‘reserve currency asset’.
Instead of bamboozling you with the jargon used by the typical student of money, I thought I’d outline a few rudimentary concepts first. There are two main reasons for doing this:

Coiling U.S. Dollar Set to Unwind / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Joseph_Russo
Over the medium-term, like many other broad based indices, the dollar continues to consolidate in a rather large sideways range. Its boundaries however, are not visually discernable in looking out over the short and near term as we’re doing here.Over the near-term, the dollar has been coiling in a contracting triangle from late May. Although it reserves the right to continue coiling for a couple of more weeks, the longer it does so, the more violent the unwind may be.

The Politics of Debt Default: Roadmap to Debunk the U.S. Dollar / Currencies / Global Debt Crisis
By: Axel_Merk
We were one of few who defended the euro when many pundits predicted parity to the U.S. dollar in the spring of 2010, when Greece’s issues first came to the fore. Since then, Old Europe’s currency has had a dramatic comeback, although not without significant jitters along the way. A roadmap is playing out that may lead the euro to debunk the dollar. Not convinced? Let’s look at what is and what isn’t working on both sides of the Atlantic, and how dynamics may play out.

Euro Maintains Upper Hand Against U.S. Dollar / Currencies / Euro
By: Mike_Paulenoff
For all of the trepidation about a Greek default, and the possible dis-integration of the euro, it appears to still have the upper hand in its relationship with the dollar.

By: Money_Morning
Kerri Shannon writes:
China has started diversifying away from the U.S. dollar, yet another sign that it's time to invest in the yuan.
A report from Standard Chartered Bank last week showed China's foreign exchange reserves expanded by $196 billion in the first four months of this year. About 75% of that investment was in non-U.S. dollar assets.

The Twin Spiral USD And EUR Collapse / Currencies / Euro
By: Andrew_McKillop
BYE-BYE THE EURO, HELLO THE DOLLAR
The basic problem of the Eurozone-17 nation group using the euro dates from long before the euro's
creation and its proven unworkability was well known in advance. There is no excuse for this. From the
often crisis-wracked EMU system (European Monetary Union) starting with the 1980s Ecu system and
becoming the EMU in 1992, the creation of the ECB central bank from the central banks of Eurozone
member countries, closely linked with non-members like the UK, only intensified political playacting
and meddling in the economy. The excuse for this was supposedly to foster federal-type political
integration of the European Union and achieve the goals of mostly forgotten treaties (except to
Eurocrats) such as the coal and steel community and Euratom.

Hyperinflation Lesson From Starving Billionaires / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: GoldSilver
As you may all ready know today, for the first era in human history, all currencies of the world are fiat currencies. This means every paper and digital currency around the world derives it's value by mere decree and or force.
Only gold and silver are money, they cannot go bankrupt. For bullion, default is not an option. Silver and gold need no coercion nor decree, they have been and always will be money.
