The Chinese Bank Bailout Begins
For some time I have been going on about the huge amount of non performing bank loans (NPL’s) in the Chinese banking system link1. The Chinese response to the 2008-2009 global financial meltdown was to go on an unprecedented public spending binge. The aim was simple to keep up employment and economic growth so as to […]
Oil Rebounds After IEA Says Price “Bottomed” As Goldman Warns Of “Sharply Lower” Prices As Storage Fills
In its latest monthly market report released early on Friday, the International Energy Agency forecast that oil prices may have bottomed as shrinking supplies outside OPEC and disruptions inside the group erode the global surplus. This comes just one month after it had a far gloomier assessment of oil prices, warned on excess supply, and asked if […]
EUR/USD And GBP/USD Forecast For March 11, 2016
EUR/USD The EUR/USD pair initially fell during the course of the day on Thursday, testing the 1.08 level below.

The European Central Bank had an interest-rate announcement as well as the monetary policy statement coming […]
E New Measures Taken By ECB
On Wednesday, the Canadian bulls grew stronger sending the USD/CAD pair into fresh lows around the 1.3230 handle.

BoC […]

Moreover, the […]
ECB Surprise From Draghi
Yesterday’s Trading: On Thursday Draghi made the headlines. No central bank governor shifts the price like he can. The ECB decision and Draghi’s speech shot volatility on the euro/dollar up 3%. The same happened on 3rdDecember, 2015 when the EUR/USD rose 450 points to 1.0980 after an ECB meeting. Market volatility in December rose for […]
Dollar Recovers Against The Euro And Yen
The euro is paring the recovery that began in the middle of the ECB’s press conference yesterday. The markets had reacted as one intuitively would expected to broad easing of interest rates and credit conditions. The market reversed, and violently so, only after Draghi seemed to rule out further interest rate cuts. Many investors took this […]
What We Know About Draghi’s Coming Corporate Bond Purchases: The Winners And Losers
In our snap assessment of the ECB’s decision yesterday, we highlighted some of the key highlights: the most important part of Draghi’s monetary expansion was the inclusion of investment grade non-fin European corporate bonds, a necessary precondition to expanding QE by €20BN due to the scarcity of treasury collateral; the total €1.6 trillion universe of eligible […]
EU Bullet Report | EUR And Gold Skyrocket After ECB
Overnight, U.S. stocks were mixed on a volatile, choppy day of trading as European Central Bank president Mario Draghi spooked global markets by vowing not to reduce rates any further after its Governing Council approved a wide range of stimulus measures on Thursday.
