British Pound Renewed Weakness / Currencies / British Pound
The Macro Trader’s view: On the 30th July, 4 weeks ago, we wrote a piece entitled “How vulnerable is Sterling”, our conclusion at the time was that we thought it not very vulnerable against the Euro, since we judged, based on available macro economic data available at that time, that the UK looked closer to emerging from recession, than did the Euro zone, and in some respects the UK economy compared favourably against the US economy too.

The Power of the U.S. Fed, Deflation and U.S. Dollar Devaluation / Currencies / US Dollar
The non-federal, private federal reserve corporation has a no-bid contract to print money out of thin air and charge U.S. citizens money (interest) for this enormous privilege.

A New World Currency, The Valun Mutual Money Plan As Conceived By E. C. Riegel / Currencies / Fiat Currency
The current economic crisis has brought into broad focus the failings of Government issued money. As pointed out brilliantly by E. C. Riegel in "Flight From Inflation" and "A New Approach To Freedom", the failure of a fiat currency is that it is issued by institutions that provide no enterprise value and thus cause inflation. Inflation is a tax, pure and simple. Debt monetization is deferred bankruptcy. Bankruptcy leads to usurpation. Usurpation can only lead to either of two ends: war or tyranny. Tyranny will take either of three forms: Socialism, Communism or Fascism. All three metastasize through political money. Its enemy is enterprise money.

The U.S. Dollar is Dying / Currencies / US Dollar
Richard Daughty writes: The Economist magazine had the Buttonwood blog titled “Law of Easy Money,” which immediately gets your hopes up that there is such a thing as “easy money,” which actually exists (just ask Connecticut’s Senator Chris Dodd!), but unfortunately not for guys like you and me who don’t have the political power and grease to extort money and skim taxpayers, which is gratuitously rude and scandalous, I agree, but which only shows the depth of my contempt for the huge, huge, cancerously huge, ridiculously and dangerously incompetent, ignorant and stupid system of governments in America, as exemplified by the despicable Congress and the even more despicable Senator Dodd.

Bottom Formation for U.S. Dollar? / Currencies / Forex Trading
The next few days of action for the dollar index and the PowerShares DB US Dollar Bull ETF (NYSE: UUP) will be critical to the near- as well as medium-term technical outlook.

Canadian Government Economic Stimulus Threatens the Loonie / Currencies / Canadian $
Bryan Rich writes: caught its cold. And the currency of this key U.S. trading partner has since become a victim of the ebb and flow of global risk appetite.

Euro Dollar Rally Stalls at Resistance / Currencies / Forex Trading

Initial target is 1.4310 followed by 1.4380.
