$20k for a hotdog in the eye at ball

annatimone Posted 1 Nov.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Trading #Oil #Economy #Gold #Us #Baseball #Hotdog #Sport
A baseball fan is suing the Kansas City Royals after a mascot lobbed a hotdog that hit him in the eye. The poor bloke had to have two operations to fix his peeper and it’s still not right. Baseball clubs are covered if a ball hits a spectator but courts overturned an early hearing saying that he should have been paying attention.

Look for a jump in US unemployment on technicalities of

annatimone Posted 30 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #USD #Trading #Inflation #Economy #Interest Rates #Unemployment #Jobs #Non Farm Payroll
The BLS is out with a technical note regarding the upcoming non-farm payrolls report, due November 8.
This part on the household survey caught my eye:
Workers who indicate that they were not working during the entire survey reference week and expected to be recalled to their jobs should be classified in the household survey as unemployed, on temporary layoff. This would include furloughed federal employees as well as other affected workers. These workers are classified this way regardless of whe…

How to trade a surprise Fed decision

Can the market really be this complacent heading into a Fed decision?

On September 18, the Fed burned many market watchers with a surprise decision not to taper. Six weeks later many traders plan to sleep through today’s FOMC decision, believing it will be similar to the previous statement. What is the risk of a surprise? In September, the Fed explained the decision not to taper like this:
Taking into account the extent of federal fiscal retrenchment, the Committee sees the improvement in eco…

US spy chief says foreign allies conduct espionage against US

annatimone Posted 29 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Trading #Us #Obama #Us Economy #Spy #Showden
…and they would know, since they`re bugging everyone`s phones.
Earlier, Obama had been saying he didn`t know about spying but the latest report in the LA Times directly disputes that:
"The White House and State Department signed off on surveillance targeting phone conversations of friendly foreign leaders, current and former U.S. intelligence officials said Monday, pushing back against assertions that President Obama and his aides were unaware of the high-level eavesdropping.

US Economic Outlook for the Near Future.

Economy•
US economic growth will be modest in 4Q 2013 and show slight acceleration in 2014. Weak consumer spending will continue due to weak consumer income growth although housing recovery will support consumer confidence. Fiscal issues will remain a negative factor. Business fixed investment is vulnerable to economic uncertainty although corporate sector has healthy balance sheets.

Interest rates•
I expect yields to rise gradually as US economy improves slowly. Recent weak employment report m…

India is facing the battle of inflation v growth.

annatimone Posted 29 Oct.  in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #USD #Trading #Trend #Inflation #Growth #Economy #India #Rbi
It's worth taking a look back at India, and the progress under the new(ish) Governor.
It is reassuring to note that the pressure on the currency noted back in early September has abated, with the record lows seen then, reversed by some 10%. The rebound exhibited there has also been reflected by a similar rise over the same time frame in the Sensex. Governor Rajan was only appointed on 4 September this year, so he can look back on his first 2 months as very satisfactory – but greater challenges l…
