Dollar Sobers Up Despite Fed PunchBowl

Time for US dollar to regain some composure, especially against the sterling, whose 2010 fortunes for the year appear dismal at best.

lets forget about market nad talk about history.
come and spend few months alone all across europe and u will understand .
get a book on carlos quintos and franois the first when u have a break on your trading. that will enlighten ur travel till the king etienne in macedonia if i dont mistake.
unfortunately it is redirected to population when it get rooted. we the people are driven by our EMOTIONS not our COMMONSENSE, that's why sometimes u find absurdity on the market like today.
i used to travel to miami and the keys for three months and its more vibrant than what it let appear.

Said: I'll elaborate. Immigration is a more political play even than the U.S. There is great tension between Germans and turks, various muslim and african groups in France, England, etc.. As a result, the move rightward I think will be rooted in cultural politics. Again, just something to consider.

Said: There might be, but I don't think it will help if they do it, and I don't think it will matter much either. I think the core of the ENTIRE economic problem right now is an inability of private investment to create enough space for enough real flesh and blood human beings to operate in. Without enough social roles, you will continue to increasingly see a stand off between an investor class looking to park capital in profitable investments, and everyone else looking for work. I think statism will be on the rise across the board. (comparatively, in the 30s, the same was true, whether under Nazis, Soviets, or New Deal). National state projects have the advantage of not needing to find profitability prior to investing. It can do it, however ineffectively or bumbling and wasteful, from the outside of a project to the inside, instead of how the private sector tends to work from the inside growing outward. I expect the U.S. to move left (believe it or not) but I expect EU to move right because of how EU elites have played the general population against immigrants.

as for the commodity rally, I still think that this rally will require massive credit. Prices are set by psychology of anticipated future values. If the people setting those prices are collectively effecting each other, then they can drive them up (or down). But if you take away the fuel that is used to deal in the future, then the here and now price will tell us just that: there price here and now with little credit in the system. And then maybe in the distant future, more credit will be introduced...

I agree with spec on this. Any insights into the shorter term moves? My weakness is playing my limited amount of money, and trying not place enough on the line in a short, but not getting wiped out. Risky business this is. With the holidays, thin liquidity scares me.

said, of course. markets must be driven by supply/demand which is very much linked to physchology of market participants. but the gold story is very speculative ex-central banks actions.
