Week In FX - Fed Gives Nothing Away, Dollar In Demand
Dean Popplewell - at Seeking Alpha - Fri Feb 27, 6:35AM CST
By Dean Popplewell As to be expected, the Fed dominated this past week. Although the markets did not get the anticipated price moves when Yellen was giving her testimony on the ‘Hill’, that came on the back of Thursday’s U.S....

GBP And EUR Data Gets Little Market Reaction
Dean Popplewell - at Seeking Alpha - Thu Feb 26, 6:34AM CST
By Dean Popplewell It appears that the global investor is showing little reaction to Fed Chair Yellen’s second day of testimony on the Hill yesterday. She provided no new hints on the timing or pace of interest rate hikes, but reiterated the...

Next Step In 'Dollars'?
Joseph Calhoun - at Seeking Alpha - Wed Feb 25, 1:56AM CST
By Jeffrey P. Snider I continue to believe that the Swiss National Bank's action on January 15 opened a "release valve" of sorts inside the world of the global "dollar." Prior to that day, heightened bearishness all throughout...

Why Switzerland Is Such A Great Country (All's Well That Ends Well)
Scott Sumner - at Seeking Alpha - Mon Feb 23, 11:55PM CST
The Swiss National Bank did a very foolish thing last month. No, it was not foolish to stop pegging their currency to the euro. Fixed exchange rates are a bad idea. Central banks should target macro aggregates. Instead, the mistake was in letting the...

Market Looks To Yellen For Dollar Direction
Dean Popplewell - Seeking Alpha - Mon Feb 23, 6:20AM CST
The four-month extension of Greece’s support program agreed late last Friday has done nothing to change the probability of Greece potentially leaving the eurozone. The market should remain realistic to the fact that the path towards a new...

Dollar Bulls To Yellen: A Little Help Here, Please
Marc Chandler - at Seeking Alpha - Sat Feb 21, 11:36PM CST
Anxiety over Greece seemed to offset the dovish read of the FOMC minutes. The US dollar was little higher on the week against both the euro and yen in choppy trading conditions. The much-followed Dollar Index closed marginally higher on the week. ...

Denmark Is Not Switzerland
Marc Chandler - Seeking Alpha - Wed Feb 11, 7:25AM CST
In order to help deflect some pressure, Denmark had suspended the issuance of long-term debt. This has the effect of driving down interest rates further. It is misleading to suggest this is a form of quantitative easing, which means increasing the...
