Gold always a good bet on a dysfunctional government

If you hate the government, you might as well profit from it. Gold is off to a good start this week, gaining $15 to $1325. That’s the highest since last Tuesday.
Gold is above the 100-hour and 200-hour moving averages and technically the short-term picture is upbeat. The real story is fundamentals. It’s sadly (and eerily) quiet in Washington. There is no easy path out from here and that means a good probability this stretches to Friday, at least. If we get that close to the debt ceiling, there …

Commodity Trading in Jeopardy as Fed Reviews Policies

The Federal Reserve is considering reversing decade-old rule allowing banks to ship oil and storing metal. How it could influence commodity trading? If the Federal Reserve reverses the rule allowing banks ship oil and store metal, it would be the biggest exclusion of banks from a market and it would put banks commodity-trading business in jeopardy. Most likely, commodity prices would stabilized or even go lower, because of the heavy impact it will have on banks. And for the banks, it woul…

Entire financial and subprime mortgage crisis definitely linked back go Alan Greenspan. Greenspan kept extremely low interest rates for a long time, encouraged people to buy/invest in housing, give a lot of freedom (and closing Fed’s eyes) to banks activities and list goes on and on. First of all, banks need to fix their balance sheets to get rid of bad assets and than everything else should come (capital requirements, separation of activities and such).

How do you think market is responding to the Federal

With the recent announcements from the Federal Reserve about ending monetary stimulus and considering mixed economic data, I think most would agree that the market is behaving very good taking profits and responding to a non-inflation environment.

USD is quite strong no matter what. Only EUR is showing some unsubstantiated strength. I guess 'hope' is the new fundamental. Fed's presence is necessary and will always be in order to push economy in the right or preferred ways. Every world's economy has its own logic and policy. While RBA is not interfering that much, BOJ does a lot. Fed looks in between these two.

That it will soon withdraw the stimulus, is subject to an increase in positive figures for a long time so this is the perfect argument. This thought before Wednesday 18 communication and I think that so behaved the FED.
