Coronavirus Infects US Dollar / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Richard_Mills
Up to a month ago the US dollar was showing resilience in the face of a slowdown in the global economy evidenced by anemic growth. As central banks including the US Federal Reserve reacted by lowering interest rates, it looked as though strength in the US economy (stock market bull, 50-year-low unemployment, etc.) would see the States through the downturn, especially since US Treasury yields were that much higher than those of competing bonds such as the German “bund”.
All that has changed with the coronavirus.

A Digital “Fedcoin” May Be Coming… And It Would Be Terrifying / Currencies / BlockChain
By: MoneyMetals
Cryptocurrencies are based on blockchain technology that allows for de-centralized peer-to-peer transactions to take place outside the government-controlled banking system.
Backers of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin tout their privacy advantages and resistance to inflation due to their strictly limited quantities.
But what if this free-market innovation were co-opted to achieve opposite ends – centralized tracking of every transaction with no possibility of escaping digital devaluations?
That’s what some central bankers are ultimately aiming for by replacing paper cash with their own digitized, monopolized currencies.

The US Dollar’s Subtle Message for Gold / Currencies / US Dollar
By: P_Radomski_CFA
Gold and the US dollar. The yellow metal and its fiat nemesis. Often, they move inversely, though the strength and even the direction of their relationship varies when examined from different time perspectives. What is the message the greenback is sending out currently?
The USD Index is moving up in a rising trend channel (all medium-term highs are higher than the preceding ones) that formed after the index ended a very sharp rally. This means that the price movement within the rising trend channel is actually a running correction, which is the most bullish type of correction out there. If a market declines a lot after rallying, it means that the bears are strong. If it declines a little, it means that bears are only moderately strong. If the price moves sideways instead of declining, it means that the bears are weak. And the USD Index didn’t even manage to move sideways. The bears are so weak, and the bulls are so strong that the only thing that the USD Index managed to do despite Fed’s very dovish turn and Trump’s calls for lower USD, is to still rally, but at a slower pace.

Basics of Foreign Exchange / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Submissions
The world has become a global village and trade between different countries has increased over the years. Different countries have different currencies and for trade to be done smoothly between countries there is need for a platform in which the conversion from one currency to another becomes easy. That is why the foreign exchange or Forex marketplace has grown to be one of the biggest in terms of financial markets. There is always someone ready to buy in one currency as well as someone willing to sell. Unlike other markets, there is no set marketplace for forex and most transactions are done online. Also, the market is open 24/7 for most days of the week. This is actually due to differences in time zones across countries. When trading ends in one country, it may just be beginning in another country based on the time zones. That is why the forex market remains active for most of the day. We’ve been talking about trading and a newcomer to the business may wonder what is being traded. Of course, its money! If someone was to propose you the opportunity to trade in forex, you may be confused as there’s no physical good being sold. However, buying forex is like buying shares.

British Pound GBP Trend Forecast Review / Currencies / British Pound
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Get Brexit DONE just as Take Back Control before it won the day for the LEAVE camp (Tory party) after they finally managed to pry Remainer Theresa May's fingers from the doors of No 10, planting LEAVER Boris Johnson in her place.
Right from the outset Boris Johnson was perceived by all as being a tough sell to the public and just maybe the Corbyn socialist hard left brigade could pull off another surprise performance just as they had in 2017 that caught everyone by surprise.

Does Bitcoin Have Value; Is It Money? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Kelsey_Williams
Writing about Bitcoin is a challenge for several reasons. It has a short history (ten years), it is highly complex, and there is a certain vagueness to the logic behind the concept. When reading about it, or listening to explanations, I wonder whether or not I understand it adequately. I also wonder how many others do.
Much has already been written and discussed, such that further commentary might be superfluous. But some additional perspective likely won’t hurt. So, for those who asked…
What is it? Bitcoin, simply stated, is a form of digital currency. That is how most people describe it when pressed for an acceptable answer. That does not make Bitcoin unique, though, since most of our money supply today is in the form of digital currency.

Setting Up A U.S. Dollar Crash And Metals Rise / Currencies / US Dollar
By: Avi_Gilburt
I know that many investors follow correlations as if they were gospel. But, do they really understand what a correlation represents?
You see, markets are not linear in nature. While two different markets may be traveling in the same direction for a period of time, unless you understand each chart on its own, how will you ever know when a seeming correlation will break? And, if you assume that they will align indefinitely, how long does it take for you to cut your losses in determining that a seeming correlation has broken?
Remember, when you are following a correlation, all you are doing is assuming a relationship will continue indefinitely in a linear manner, despite the fact that markets are simply not linear in nature.

The ABC’s of Fiat Money / Currencies / Fiat Currency
By: Rob_Kirby
The machinations and bravo sierra excuses that are being “served up” attempting to explain the onset of massive Fed liquidity “adds” are fogging up my glasses. As a savant I once worked with in the institutional capital markets told me many, many years ago when I first parked my butt in a chair on a trading desk fresh out of University told me, “Kirby, what happens in here is really quite simple – we deal with money and the only things you can do with that are: buy it, sell it, borrow it or lend it. It isn’t rocket science”.When the Fed adds “liquidity” [aka fresh fiat money] they purchase debt – either on a temporary basis [repo] or a permanent basis by outright purchases [expanding their balance sheet]. Fresh fiat money is the oil that greases the wheels of our debt based money system. When the Fed purchases debt they are signalling concern that the wheels of our money system are seizing up.
