Competitive devaluation by the US? Unthinkable

annatimone Posted 18 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #JPY #USD #China #Economy #Eurozone #Eud #Us Debt #Default
What an interesting week. The Armageddon that was really never going to happen, surprise, surprise, didn`t happen. The world has been spared the indignity of a technical default by its MVP – but in its place is a feeling of disappointment and uncertainty about the US that I find uncomfortable and not a little unsettling.
The eventual easing of the dollar this week has reflected a muted and slightly numb reaction to the outcome belatedly coming from Washington, and it is now, regrettably going to…

The US deal, and concerns by holders of its debt

annatimone Posted 17 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #USD #China #Japan #Economy #Us Dollar #Us Debt #Britain
So, at last we have a deal of sorts. In truth, it doesn’t solve any issues, it merely reflects huge pressure to free up government spending, and short term, ensure that America pays its external obligations to its creditors. This sad chapter is obviously not at an end, and we face the spectre of more government by crisis over the course of the next few months. Bad as this is, short term, the long term damage done to US credibility and standing in the world is much more worrying.
At the moment, t…

So exactly where does China spend its cash?

annatimone Posted 14 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #UK #Trading #China #Cash #Osborne #Mandarin #Spending
In the wake of UK fin min Osborne announcing easier terms (and visas) for the Chinese to spend their money in the UK the BBC have produced this handy at-a-glance guide of who, and what, we’re up against.
No surprises really but just another reason to be brushing up on some Mandarin.

OECD jumps on the inflation bandwagon

annatimone Posted 14 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #EUR #USD #UK #China #Euro #Inflation #Italy #Us #Oecd
The OECD has just releases their inflation figures for August. Year on year readings:
  • G20 countries 3.0% vs 3.2% in July
  • EU 1.5% from 1.7%
  • EZ 1.3% from 1.6%
  • France 1.0% vs 1.2% prior
  • Italy 1.2% unch
  • Germany 1.6% vs 1.9% prior
  • UK 2.7% vs 2.8%
  • US 1.5% from 2.0%
  • China 2.6% vs 2.7%
Obviously the data is a lagging somewhat but it’s yet another sign of falling inflation but this time on a global scale.

Facebook Stock Hit 50 dollars. Will it Increase Even More?

annatimone Posted 6 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Trading #China #Stock Market #Stock #Social Media #Facebook #Fb Stock #Internet
Last week, Facebook’s stocks went above $50 a share for the first time. As you may be aware, Facebook’s stocks were originally offered at a price of $38 a share last year. Soon afterwards, these same stocks decreased in price and hit a low of just over $17 a share in September of 2012. However, in the past two months alone, Facebook’s stocks have more than doubled in value. Additionally, the stock has also increased a remarkably generous 85% since the beginning of 2013.
Why Did this Stock Turnar…

The Cutest!!!!!

annatimone Posted 25 Sep.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #China #Pandas
Fourteen pandas born at the Chengdu Panda Base in Sichuan Province, China, made their public debut in a most adorable way, cuddled together in a crib. The 14 pandas join the base's population of 128 giant pandas, all bred at the base and not taken from the wild. The giant panda, an endangered species, is native to China.

August 2013: Trading the Chinese Flash Manufacturing PMI

annatimone Posted 21 Sep.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #AUD #USA #Trading #China #Currency #AUD/USD #Market #Manifacturing #Pmi
I know past results don't guarantee future performance, but there is a lesson to be learned in looking at last month’s numbers.
Chinese Flash Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) is based on a survey of purchasing managers in the manufacturing sector.
Respondents are surveyed for their view of the economy and business conditions in China. A reading which is higher than the market forecast is bullish for the Australian dollar.

SCMP reports:
  • Super Typhoon Usagi, believed to be the most powerful storm on Earth in 2013, was on Friday heading across the South China Sea on course for a direct hit on Hong Kong.
  • Danger is the typhoon hits HK on Sunday
Hong Kong markets are closed for a holiday today.
What a way to have a long weekend.
