I have always been a big fan of the safety and income potential of the nation’s utility industry. With the economy in shambles, few utilities have the potential they once did, but MDU Resources (NYE:MDU) is looking as good as ever.

A spree of economic props dominoed across Europe today (Thursday) all sharing the same theme – stopping the global financial crisis from getting worse. The European Central Bank took a drastic step to protect the Eurozone economy from shrinking further by lowering its benchmark interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point to 2.5%.

Louis Basenese says those calling the death of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency are forgetting one vital detail: there is no alternative right now.

Dollar range bound… German confidence falls… Aussie and NZD continue to slide… US to maintain pressure on Chinese… And Now… Today’s Pfennig!

The Pfennig will be pretty short this morning, as I want to try and get it out as close to the regular time as possible. The currency markets were fairly calm yesterday, with the dollar staying in a pretty tight range before rallying some in early trading this morning.
