U.S. Treasury Bond Yields: Government Intervention Breeds Uncertainty

For many months, I have been tracking US Government 10 year Treasury bonds essentially stating that they have topped out. In my most recent article on Treasury bonds, I stated: "the upside for Treasury bonds is limited, and there is a high degree of certainty that a new secular trend is developing that favors higher yield pressures.

I got it - that's why Bernake (and Geithner) are flying the plane into the ground. The most common cause of air crashes is when pilots fly planes into the ground. The reason they do that is that they get confused about where they are. 23rd March 2009 Chairman Bernanke said that if a couple of trillion hadn't been thrown into the fire, then Plumber Joe (and sweet Mary Lou) would have lost 70% of their 401K by now not 40%; (and presumably their house too). Pity he didn't get around to that conclusion in early 2007 and cut rates to zero then, rather than hanging on for ages telling everyone that everything was under control "so as to instill "confidence"", I quote from his presentation to Congress in May 2007: " At this juncture, however, the impact on the broader economy and financial markets of the problems in the subprime market seems likely to be contained”.

The assumed test of key resistance range was confirmed with conditions for the realization of the pre-planned long positions. OsMA trend indicator having marked preservation of low activity and current bearish cycle of indicator chart gives reasons for preservation of open short positions for today as well. Hence the targets for short positions will be 1.1180/1.1200, 1.1120/40 and/or further breakout variant below 1.1080 with targets up to 1.1020/40, 1.0940/60, 1.0820/40.

The pre-planned breakout variant for sells was realized with attainment of minimal assumed target. OsMA trend indicator, having marked preservation of minimal bearish activity advantage nevertheless is not a confirming sign for priority of bearish direction in trading operations planning for today. Hence considering the current situation as indefinite and targeting at trading risks decrease we assume the possibility of rate return to upper boundary of Ichimoku cloud at 1.4580/1.4620, where it is recommended to evaluate activity development of both parties according to the charts of shorter time interval. For short-term sells on condition of formation of topping signals the targets will be 1.4480/1.4520, 1.4360/1.4400, 1.4280/1.4300 and/or further breakout variant up to 1.4210/30, 1.4140/60, 1.4020/60.

The pre-planned breakout variant for buying positions was realized but with failure in attainment of minimal assumed targets. OsMA trend indicator, having marked the high of the current week by the sign of pair overbought and by further relative bearish activity rise is not a definite sign for confident choice of sells planning priorities for today. Hence supporting version of possible range rate movement we assume attainment of channel line '1' at 97.00/20, where it is recommended to evaluate activity development of both parties according to the charts of shorter time interval. For short-term buying positions on condition of formation of topping signals the targets will be 97.60/80, 98.40/60, 99.00/20 and/or further breakout variant up to 99.60/80, 100.20/40. An alternative for sells will be below 96.00 with targets 95.20/40, 94.60/80, 93.80/94.20.
EUR
The pre-planned buying positions from key supports were realized with attainment of minimal assumed target. OsMA trend indicator, having marked preservation of low activity of both parties as before continues supporting version of range rate movement for the choice of planning priorities for today. Hence we assume the possibility of rate return to 1.3480/1.3500 supports, where it is recommended to evaluate activity development of both parties according to the charts of shorter time interval. For short-term buying positions on condition of formation of topping signals the targets will be 1.3540/60, 1.3620/40, 1.3700/40 and/or further breakout variant up to 1.3780/1.3800, 1.3840,90, 1.3900/20.

Crude Oil Makes a Sweek Breakout Buy Signal (Part2)

Crude Oil makes a run higher giving investors some what of a tradable bounce. Although this is great for our long trades, this is a catch 22. Gas prices are starting to rise again and if this trade follows through. we could see $65 per barrel and a possibility of oil retesting $100 level within the next 6-12 months. Not a pleasant thought in the grand scheme of things.

United States Economy, U.S. Dollar and the China Factor

A crisis of global confidence in the US Dollar is upon us. Foreigners have begun to lose respect for USGovt approach to problem solving, for US bank administration, and for US Dollar custodial management. Foreigner creditors have suffered deep losses from fraudulent bond export, continue to sit atop mountains of US$-based debt securities, and watch current events in horror. The heap of moldy paper includes both USTreasury Bonds and USAgency Mortgage Bonds. Foreigner creditors see the US Dollar valuation propped up by liquidation forces rather than US Economic strength. Foreigner creditors see the USTBond yields forced down by liquidation forces rather than USGovt debt integrity.

Morgan Stanley - Why the Yen Should Strengthen

Introduction: Trade Balance Collapse Will Likely Reverse
The drop of the Japanese trade surplus has been breathtaking. Japan has run a seasonally adjusted trade deficit since July 2008, a string of deficits not seen for nearly 30 years. Moreover, this decline of the trade surplus has occurred against the background of falling oil prices.
The collapse of global demand and consequent collapse of exports are widely seen as the key source of Japan’s trade balance drop. Indeed, seasonally adjusted exports were running at over JPY7 trillion per month through most of 2007 to mid-2008, but recently have dropped to only about JPY4 trillion. Thus, it is understandable to attribute the drop of the trade surplus to exports, and thus to believe that the yen will be weak until the global economy recovers. However, the full story is more complicated, and has a very different implication for the yen exchange rate.

US Morgan Stanley - Fed’s QE Points to More Monetary Easing in China

A Decisive Step by the US Fed
The US Fed announced that it would purchase US$300 billion of long-dated Treasuries over the next six months. This is a decisive step taken by the Fed in formally adopting quantitative easing (QE), which also features other key policy actions, including the purchase of an additional US$75 billion of agency MBS to make a total of US$1.25 trillion in 2009, increasing the purchase of agency debt by US$100 billion to a total of US$200 billion in 2009, and extending the collateral allowed in the TALF. Many clients wonder what would be the implications of this important policy move by the US monetary authorities on China, the largest creditor country with respect to US sovereign debt.

Investor memperkirakan ECB akan menurunkan suku bunga 50 bsp pada pertemuan 2 April menjadi 1.00 persen.Royal Bank of Scotland menyarankan penjualan euro terhadap dolar Australia karena ECB akan membeli obligasi pemerintah lebih cepat ketimbang Reserve Bank of Australia.

The Federal Reserve shocked the markets this week by taking new dramatic actions to end the recession. They announced they'll be buying more than $1 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This means the Fed will be creating even more money to buy this debt, and that immediately affected all of the markets.

Protect Your Wealth from the Secular Stocks Bear Market

Almost exactly six months ago, I wrote in these pages to deliver you a message of warning. In a special edition of Money and Markets * on September 22, 2008, I warned you NOT to expect a quick end to this epic bear market in stocks. I also outlined several steps that could help you defend and possibly even grow your wealth in this turbulent market. The reason for my warning last September is one and the same with my biggest concern today … we remain locked in a punishing, long-term, secular bear market, and I'm concerned your investments may not be fully prepared to weather this financial storm.

When the United States Ruled the World

America has squandered the human sacrifice, blood, sweat and tears of two generations in less than seventy years. We have been an independent country for 226 years. From 1783 until 1946 was an unrelenting upward trajectory for the beacon of the free world. With the end of World War II , America was the last country standing. Germany and Japan were in shambles. Russia had lost millions of citizens, with Stalin about to murder millions more. Great Britain was a shell of its former self. The American Empire had been born. We were the manufacturer to the world. We rebuilt Europe and Japan . Our military was dominant. We made the best automobiles. We built 41,000 miles of national highway over two decades. In 1946, one in three U.S. workers was employed in the manufacturing industry. Today, less than one in ten workers makes something.

Gold expected to provide better return

The advice is based on the assumpฌtion that the economic slowdown will last at least 16 more months.The Trinity Securities Group, a derivatives broker in gold on the Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX), said the precious metal this year would provide better returns than stock or capital markets.

"We'd like to warn investors that gold prices, despite its rising trend, won't increase speedily like it has since 2005. This year, gold prices will likeฌly be volatile, from $900 an ounce and with a 1012percent price moveฌment. The easiest way to maintain the investment cycle is with negative news, which raises the price. But once the negative news disappears, beware of any correction," Trinity said in a paper released yesterday.However, it said that over more than five years, gold as an investment would be more worth the risk than other investment tools. If the econoฌmy is expected to recover, investors should beware of goldprice volatiliฌty, but if it is expected to be much slowฌer than expected, gold prices will rise further.

Meanwhile, gold gained in Asia as a weaker US dollar fuelled demand for it as an alternative investment and store of value.Gold has risen 3.2 per cent in the past week, while the Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against six major trading partners, slumped 4.2 per cent. The benchmark MSCI Asia Pacific Index added 3.2 per cent ahead of a US Treasury announceฌment yesterday of plans to rid banks of toxic assets.Gold for immediate delivery was at $952.96 an ounce early yesterday afternoon in Singapore after rising as much as 0.7 percent earlier, extendฌing last week's 2.4percent gain.The dollar last traded at 1.3664 to the euro, against $1.3582 last Friday.

Twentyone of 28 traders, investors and analysts surveyed from Tokyo to Chicago, Illinois advised buying gold this week as the dollar tumbles. Five said to sell, and two were neutral.Gold has "got the potential to test $980, $990 this week", Peter McGuire, managing director at Commodity Warrants Australia, said in a Bloomberg Television interview yesterday.Last year, demand for gold for jewฌellery, investment and manufacturฌing was 58 per cent, 30 per cent, and 12 per cent, respectively. The demand for investment in gold has risen sigฌnificantly, as those same ratios were 68 per cent, 19 per cent, and 13 per cent, respectively, from 2003-07.

Demand for gold for jewellery fell 11 per cent last year from 2007 but is expected to rise in the long run. India consumes the highest proportion of gold at 23 per cent of total demand each year, while China and the US each consume about 14 per cent, folฌlowed by Turkey at 5 per cent and Saudi Arabia at 3 per cent. Trinity said in general, demand for gold for jewฌellery rose when gold prices were staฌble or rising slowly but that demand for gold for investment rose signifiฌcantly when gold prices were highly volatile. World Gold Council data show demand for gold for investment rose 64.31 per cent from 664 tonnes in 2007 to 1,091 tonnes last year. Retailers' investment in gold almost doubled in that same period, rising 87.56 per cent from 410 tonnes to 769 tonnes. The rest was investment by exchangetraded funds, which rose about 27 per cent.

Trinity said demand for gold each year was always higher than new supฌply. The supply of gold from new gold mines represents only 63 per cent of demand, with the rest obtained from gold sales by central banks around the world (12 per cent) and melting down old or recycled gold (25 per cent). At present, the supply from about 400 gold mines worldwide is stable at 2,525 tonnes a year. Since 2007, gold held by all central banks has amounted to 29,000 tonnes, or 18 per cent of the gold supฌply. From 2003-07, central banks worldwide sell 500 tonnes a year.

(Dow Jones)--China Mobile extended losses on a worsening earnings outlook while Chinese financial stocks tracked declines in their U.S. counterparts overnight, pushing Hong Kong stocks lower Friday. Traders said the Hang Seng Index may fall further in the near term, possibly toward 11,000 points, on concerns about deteriorating economic and corporate fundamentals. The blue-chip Hang Seng Index fell 297.41 points, or 2.3%, to 12,833.51, after hitting an intraday low of 12,797.10. Turnover totaled HK$43.89 billion, down from HK$48.59 billion Thursday. 'We think it is about time to trim shareholdings. We expect selling pressure will increase,' said ICEA Securities strategist Ernie Hon. Alex Wong of Ample Financial Group said hopes of more favorable government policies from Beijing have waned, and the near-term retreat of Chinese stocks will be a major force pulling back the Hang Seng Index. China Mobile fell 5.4% to HK$63.10, after a decline of 2.1% Thursday. It said Thursday its 2008 net profit rose to CNY112.80 billion from CNY87.10 billion in 2007, but profit growth slowed toward the end of the year amid intense competition and the weakening economy. Marvin Lo, an analyst at Daiwa Institute of Research, said he expects China Mobile's net profit growth to slow to 8.4% this year, from 29.6% last year, on a drop in subscriber growth and higher capital expenditure related to third-generation mobile services. 'A slower economy, greater competition and the inflow of new customers from rural areas are likely to put downward pressure on net subscriber additions,' Lo said. Bank of America Merrill Lynch downgraded China Mobile to neutral from buy and cut the target price on the stock by 15% to HK$73.00. It said China Mobile's earnings growth is decelerating, in part because depreciation expenses will rise as the company spends more to expand its network. Chinese financial stocks tumbled, tracking a 16% drop in Citigroup's shares overnight, as the U.S. banking giant prepared to issue preferred shares and sought approval for a reverse stock split, traders said.

Gold Buying Opportunity Of A Lifetime

Opportunity and crisis are uneasy handmaidens in times of danger; and, while crises may increase, opportunities are always rare. The world is in the grip of an unprecedented crisis. Unlimited credit has now turned into its deadly nemesis, unlimited defaulting debt; and whereas only some of us were its beneficiaries, all of us will be its victims—all of us, except the very few.

Morgan Stanley - Global Are Still Sinking and Synching

Salami economics? Economists are often accused of using ‘salami tactics’ in revising their forecasts: adjust them frequently and in wafer-thin slices. Well, it’s different this time. While forecasts of economic growth around the globe have in fact been cut frequently over the last 3-6 months, the changes have been anything but wafer-thin. The Morgan Stanley economics team is no exception – during 4Q08 and 1Q09 we have been forced to cut our growth forecasts several times, and in big chunks. We thus remain more bearish than the consensus, seeing a record-deep recession and only tepid recovery in 2010.
