Sterling is trading strongly ahead of Thursday’s Bank of England meeting which suggests investors are positioning for optimism but before the BoE meets, we’ll have to get past a few key economic reports that will shape policy expectations. Although the central bank recently downgraded their inflation outlook a smaller decline in shop prices and faster […]
China: Where A Rising Currency Is Meant To Be Inflationary
As much as officials in Beijing may outwardly fight it, they are still in the “dollar” business. It’s not raw conjecture, either. Though we don’t know the specifics of their policy positions, in this context we don’t need to know them; it’s all right there on the central bank balance sheet. The most prominent thing […]
It’s Official: US Debt Finally Tops $20 Trillion, Jumps By $318 Billion In One Day
Following President Trump’s sign off last Friday on a short-term debt-ceiling/government funding/hurricane aid deal (thanks to Democrats’ votes), the US Treasury was finally freed from the shackles of the debt ceiling which it hit nearly one year ago and which meant that US federal debt would be at roughly $19.808 trillion for months.

Book Review: Get Rich With Options
I recently had the opportunity to pick up a copy of Lee Lowell’s 2009 book Get Rich With Options: Four Winning Strategies Straight from the Exchange Floor. Lee wrote an excellent primer on options trading, but the publisher probably should have put a little more thought into the title. Get Rich With Options has very little to do […]
Not Just Irma But Seasonal Weakness Pulled Natural Gas Lower
Shortly after testing resistance around the $3.08 level a couple weeks ago to open up September natural gas prices declined rather dramatically, with heavy selling coming initially after the holiday weekend and then heavier selling coming into last Friday as Irma approached Florida.
