Taking US dollar weakness in stride

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The hand-wringing over the U.S. dollar's fall has been overdone. The greenback is expected to remain weak, but few think declines will accelerate in spite of debates over the dollar's role in the world economy . This week the dollar fell to a 14-month low against a basket of six major currencies .DXY, in part because of concerns about the slow recovery in the U.S. economy.

NYT: Cautiously, Small Investors Edge Back into Stocks

In a different era, these sort of stories made me edgy - usually when the retail investor (no offense to those future investors of mine) ;) - gets bullish, I want to take the other side of the trade. But we live in a new era of ever increasing asset prices paid for by slow but systematic destruction of currency. Or put another way, we cannot lose . (as long as you live in a nominal world, rather than real world) So I am pulling in my contrarian horns and welcoming these investors with open

Opinion: NZ$ climbs through 70 USc as international investors feel luckiest in a year

By Mike Jones The NZD has been the strongest performing currency over the past 24 hours. More USD weakness, combined with strong demand from speculative and real money accounts, pushed NZD/USD back above 0.7000. The RBNZ left the OCR unchanged at 2.5% yesterday, as widely expected. The RBNZ reiterated its now long-held view that it expects “to keep the OCR at or below the current level through until the latter part of 2010”. This would have come as a disappointment to those who felt that th

Intervention Threatens the Loonie

When the U.S. sneezed, Canada — like the rest of the world — caught its cold. And the currency of this key U.S. trading partner has since become a victim of the ebb and flow of global risk appetite. For instance, last year, when uncertainty was high and money fled to the center of the global economy, the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar fell sharply. Now that risk appetite has returned to the global financial markets and money is flowing back out of the U.S. dollar, Canada’s l
