The Forex Trading Conundrum / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Joe_Gelet
It’s difficult to know what one can say publicly about Forex. If performance is mentioned, it should first be approved by the NFA (as should any marketing material). Comments from insiders and partners are told in trust that it will not be repeated.

British Pound Remains Under Threat of Another Bear Phase / Currencies / British Pound
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
As with other markets GBP/USD has been broadly consolidative during June and July, with upside attempts being successfully repelled so far. In recent FX Trading Guides we have wondered if the 30-Jun spike to 1.6744 and drop back marked a blow-off move, in preparation for a better bear phase – and we still believe this is a prospect.

Follow the Money: EuroDollar at Critical Juncture / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: The_BullBear
After a 12% nearly vertical run to new highs in the SPX every trader and investor is asking whether the markets can continue higher or whether we are at or near a top of some kind. For some time I have been using intermarket analysis to help gauge market trend. In particular I have been tracking the relationship between the forex and equities markets and found that a "follow the money" approach is very useful.

Euro Poised to Take off! / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Purely from a technical perspective, the euro is poised to take off against the dollar. All week long, the euro has consolidated in a tight range roughly between 1.4290 and 1.4100, which resembles a Bull Flag formation readying itself for an upside thrust. If such a thrust unfolds, then we should expect EUR/USD to climb to 1.4400-1.4500 next.

Abandoned U.S. Dollar and Paradigm Shift / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Jim_Willie_CB
A paradigm shift is underway, unrecognized inside the US kettle. Its water level is falling and its temperature is rising, even as fewer foreign born cooks stir its contents. The US banking and political leaders errantly pursue a path toward a return to normalcy, when all pathways have been washed out by powerful storms that to do abate and will worsen. Several key developments point to a new global order taking shape, as the Chinese actively work to plant global seeds that result in the Yuan currency serving more of a role in global trade. They will eventually de-throne the USDollar from its primal perch. The USDollar will be used less in global trade. The US$-based assets are being diversified. These developments are gaining traction, power, and publicity.

Towards Integration of the U.S. Dollar and the Euro into a New Global Currency / Currencies / Global Financial System
By: Global_Research
Michel Chossudovsky writes: With a view to restoring financial stability, World leaders have called upon the Group of 20 countries (G-20) to instigate a new global currency based on the IMF's Special Drawing Rights (SDRs).
The media has presented the global currency initiative as a consensus building process, in which BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) would participate in the revamping of the international monetary system.

Analyzing the Australian Dollar, Up, Down, and Under / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Gary_Dorsch
Viewed from the outside, trading in the arcane world of foreign exchange might appear to be quite glamorous. However, attempting to anticipate the next major move in the Euro, yen, or British pound, can be injurious to one’s mental health or pocketbook, especially when schizophrenia often rules the day. Yet despite the enigma that surrounds the $4-trillion per day FX market, when staring at the weekly price charts, the outside observer will notice established and methodical price trends in the currency markets that can last for weeks, months, or even years.

The video is short, to the point and shows what I expect will happen to the dollar vis-a-vis the yen in the next several weeks.

Currency Crisis, the Yuan to go Global! Gold will Rise! / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Suddenly the pressure from China to change the world’s monetary order is pressing. At the G-8 China asked for the forum to debate proposals for a new global reserve currency! They were largely ignored! China’s rising presence in the global economy [$2 trillion reserves now] and the threatening weakness of the $ is prompting China to act in this way and with speed. Not only the Chinese but the French, Finance Minister and Central Bank President called for greater currency stability and a system to avoid piling up currency reserves as we see with the $. It is clear that more and more countries are objecting to the debasement of the U.S. $ through Trade deficits and Quantitative Easing.
