The U.S. Dollar traded weakly in yesterday’s session as it witnessed depreciation against all of its currency rivals. Plunging toward the critical levels of 1.4000 against the EUR and 1.6000 against the GBP, the greenback’s recent weakness doesn’t appear to have an end in sight for today. With an expectant worry that today’s data releases will put investor focus on America’s increase in debt issuance, thus resulting in a higher Treasury yield; the market may continue to go bearish on the USD. As expected, higher yielding assets and currencies like the EUR and GBP ...

After testing a nuke and firing off 5 missiles over the past few days, North Korea now says that it has abandoned its truce that ended the Korean War back in 1953. They basically blamed the decision on South Korea joining the U.S.-led initiative to search ships for nuclear weapons. It called the South’s actions a “declaration of war” and pledged to attack its ships if they were stopped.

It’s a sign that they aren’t bluffing and that they intend to make “weapons-grade plutonium”. Meanwhile the U.N. is working on a statement that condemns these actions. ...

The dollar has become so weak again that it has begun to fade even against the lowly Yen. The greenback and the Japanese currency seem to be effectively fighting for the label of least desirable currency at the moment. One dollar is currently (May 26) netting 95.40 Yen. Despite a surprising strong consumer confidence reading that marked a high point for sentiment since September, data still shows people aren’t spending to match their confidence. Why? There are still 8.9 per cent of people dealing with unemployment, and ...

More money has been lost by trading impulsively than by any other means. Ask a novice why he went long on a currency pair and you will frequently hear the answer, "Because it has gone down enough - so it's bound to bounce back." We always roll our eyes at that type of response because it is not based on reason - it's nothing more than wishful thinking.

We never cease to be amazed how hard-boiled, highly intelligent, ruthless businesspeople behave in Las Vegas. Men and women who would never pay even one dollar more than the negotiated price for any product in their business will think nothing of losing $10,000 in 10 minutes on a roulette wheel. The ...

So much for the sub-$1.00 Euro that some forecasters were calling for at the start of 2009. One Euro is now back to the level it started at as the New Year kicked off, with a value of $1.3933 currently (May 21). Several top international and European banks had predicted that the Euro would suffer a downward trend against the greenback for 2009. During the first quarter, the forecasts seemed to have some merit, as the Euro lost about 20 pips from a range in the mid-$1.40s to a ...
