I believe that when the dust settles on the fact that the Fed isn’t going to raise rates, things will have gotten so bad here that the Fed will be entertaining thoughts of cutting rates again!

Come on, do you really believe the Fed is going to raise rates now, or in the near future with the economy teetering on the edge of a deep dark recession? Not a snowball’s chance in you know where! So, that leaves us with jawboning.

Big Ben signaled to the markets that he was ‘uncomfortable’ with the weakness of the dollar, and the ramifications that a weak dollar has on inflation. He actually blamed the weak dollar on inflation! Whoa there partner! You’re barking up the wrong tree!

I saw a report on the IFO’s correlation with the euro’s past moves to higher ground… Made sense to me, as strong IFO reports came out right before the euro moved past previous big figures…

I don’t know at this point if this is a true reversal of the dollar rally or a false dawn… But either way… Just to see some chinks in the dollar right about this time is probably a good thing to currency holders!

Yellen stated that she ‘would be pleased’ if the economy was strong enough to raise rates by year-end. That’s all nice and sweet, Ms. Yellen… But did you realize you would move the markets with that ‘wish upon a star’?

Fed Head Hoenig has thrown a cat among the pigeons this morning by stating that ‘inflation pressures may spur a rate rise by the Fed.’ Hmmm, is he serious, or just blabbering some currency intervention.

At best, the ECB doesn’t sound like they are ready to CUT rates any time soon… So, the euro gets to hold on to its positive interest rate differential to the dollar…

The Japanese yen gained 1.6% versus the dollar yesterday and the Singapore dollar was up 1.5%. Both currencies rallied as hedge funds and other highly leveraged traders scrambled to reduce debts.
