Emerging Market Currencies Falling: These ETFs Are Still Hot
The MSCI Emerging Markets Currency Index — a basket of currencies that tracks the country allocations in the emerging market (EM) index — is down nearly 9% from this year’s high on Apr 3.

Decline In YTD Issuance Likely Causes Supply-Demand Imbalance In High-Yield Bond

More than two weeks of nearly uninterrupted price gains for crude oil ended this week, with the rally running out of steam. The question is what happens next?

USD/CAD Weekly Analysis – Tuesday, Sept. 11

However, as long as 1.3000 support holds, the uptrend could be expected to resume and one more rise towards 1.3350 is still possible after the consolidation.
