Betting on China Via Australia
Oct 16, 2:20PM
There are plenty of investors that think betting on China is as close to a sure thing as there could possibly be. The only problem is that investing directly in China’s economic freight train is complicated, opaque, and sometimes impossible. The Chinese government maintains strict capital controls, prohibits foreigners from directly owning certain types of [...]
Emerging Market "Wall of Money" Spurs Currency War
Oct 14, 5:35PM
According to Goldman Sachs (which if nothing else, is good at characterizing financial trends. Remember “BRIC?”), there is a “Wall of Money” that is already flooding emerging markets and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. “The Institute of International Finance projected 2010 capital flows of $825 billion, up from $581 billion in 2009 [...]
Japan Plots Next Yen Intervention
Oct 13, 5:00AM
Almost one month has passed since the Bank of Japan (BOJ) intervened in forex markets on behalf of the Japanese Yen. In one trading session, it spent a record 2.1249 trillion yen ($25.37 billion) to obtain a 3.5% jump in the Yen. Since then, the Yen has continued to appreciate, and now it seems like [...]

Korean Won Rises Despite Currency War
Oct 07, 10:55PM
The Bank of Korea is one of the major participants in the ongoing global currency war, intervening on behalf of the Won to the tune of $1 Billion per day! Meanwhile, the Korean Won has risen 5% in the last month, and 10% over the last three months, the highest in Asia. What a disconnect! First [...]
Currency War: Who are the Winners and Losers?
Oct 06, 1:29PM
On September 27, Brazilian Finance Minister, Guido Montega, used the term “currency war” to describe the series of recent Central Bank interventions in forex markets. While he may not have intended it, the term stuck, and financial journalists everywhere have run wild with it. In the current cycle (dating back a couple years), more than a [...]
Brazilian Real at 2-Year High Despite "Currency War"
Oct 01, 5:14PM
Brazil is beating the drumbeat of war. The forex variety, that is. According to the Finance Minister, “We’re in the midst of an international currency war, a general weakening of currency. This threatens us because it takes away our competitiveness.” By its own admission, Brazil will not be sitting on the sidelines of this war. [...]
Bullish on the Euro?
Sep 29, 9:09AM
Wouldn’t life just be a little easier if the EUR/USD, the most important forex pair and bellwether of currency markets, could simply pick a direction and stick to it. It dove during the financial crisis, only to surge during the apparent recovery phase, fell during the sovereign debt crisis, and rose during the paradigm shift, [...]
RMB Appreciation Accelerates, but Dollar Peg Remains in Place
Sep 27, 10:33AM
The Chinese Yuan has touched a new high, at 6.69 USD/CNY. Given that the Yuan has still only risen about 2% since the peg was officially loosened in June - with most of that appreciation taking place in the last couple weeks – there still remains intense pressure on China to do more. Last week’s intervention [...]
Thai Baht Rises to 13-Year High
Sep 24, 10:50AM
As I pack my bags and head to Thailand for a vacation (for forex research purposes…yeah right), I thought it would be appropriate to blog about the Thai Baht’s strength. The momentum behind the Baht has been nothing short of incredible, and as often happens in the forex markets, the currency’s rise is becoming self-fulfilling. [...]
