S&P Yellen nomination a near to intermediate positive

Standard & Poor’s give two reasons that Janet Yellen’s nomination as Chairman of the Federal Reserve is a near-to-intermediate term positive:
  1. Yellen’s nomination provides markets with a sense of continuity of the Fed’s current monetary policy decision-making and communications process

An interesting week for GBP/USD. New recent highs ???

Not since late January/early February this year have we seen cable with a tag of 1.6, and further appreciation the other side of that number has been tentative (previous highs of only 1.62 and change in May and September 2012). I don`t get the news that there is a huge head of steam in terms of positioning behind this move, but cable has certainly been a precious and rare friend of the hedge fund community since the latest uptrend started in July.
Important to remember that to model driven curre…

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…

Obama liquid part of the financial liberalization of Clinton?
the answer is complicated and deserves his previous reflection.

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).

то есть сами американцы говорят о том что назревает новый мыльный пузырь и теперь он в банковском секторе?..

Well, sure. Financial crisis was caused by the banks. There are speculations that we have minor bubble in real estate now. But who knows?!

What To Expect From Ben Bernanke?

US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's semi-annual testimony on monetary policy before the Congress is one of the key market-moving events. Especially this time, it will be Bernanke’s last time in front of Congress before his term ends in 2014. Bernanke heads to Capitol Hill on Wednesday and Thursday, first going up to the House Financial Services Committee to deliver the semi-annual monetary policy report, and the next day heading to the Senate Banking Committee. Now, the markets have…

You're absolutely right. Send a confusing message.
My experience tells me that it is better to wait to rule and see the trend of the market.

Absolutely! Bernanke is being diplomatic and playing “safe” with his comments. About two months ago he said that Federal Reserve will end bond buying program by Fall months or by the end of the year. On July 10th he said that bond buying program will not end until we have some positive economic data and interests rates will not go up automatically when unemployment comes down to 6.5% mark. Bernanke is a smart and experience man. I think he definitely knows what he is doing, which is creating volatility in the market to keep stock prices up…..and of course, protecting himself.

Market Forecast for the Near Future.

Market Forecast for the Near Future. I think stock market shows signs of resiliency. I believe stock market will see a good interest from retail clients in the near future, because this is the only game in town. Bonds became very dangerous investment because of expected changes in Federal Reserve monetary policies. As long as we will not have very strong economic data coming out in the near future that would push interests rates over the top, the stock market will not sell off. Treasury …

Will Yuan replace US Dollar?

There is a unique symmetry between the United States Federal Reserve and the People’s Bank of China in that each has well over $3 trillion in assets on its balance sheet. But the similarities end at that point. The Federal Reserve acquired about $3 trillion in assets by expanding its balance sheet with the goal to recapitalize the global financial system. In contrast, the trillions in assets held by the People’s Bank of China are from export earnings and trade surpluses registering in the tens…

Is the Federal Reserve Right?

Is the Federal Reserve Right? At the recent FOMC meeting, Bernanke was not clear about timing and even course of the Federal Reserve in ending bond buying program. His uncertainty created a lot of volatility in the market. Given this volatility, I think it would be very difficult for the Federal Reserve to signal any type of exit strategy without causing some form of market response. In a way, it makes Federal Reserve a hostage to the markets. The challenge for the Federal Reserve would be to …

They don't have an exit strategy..........they are just hoping against hope to create a new economic bubble will sustain itself forever.......but it won't, sooner or later, all bubbles burst, it's the nature of the markets.........

the idea of being uncertain is --to create volatility. So, the outcome is expected.
