Traders' views

As with most currencies...”it’s all about Bernanke!”

By Ishaq Siddiqi

Earlier this week we heard from the Reserve Bank of Australia and the minutes of their meeting, which generally confirmed what most had suspected: that the strength of AUD was a pivotal factor in what was an otherwise close decision to cut interest rates.

The all-important policy guidance at the end of the minutes reveals that the RBA opted to use “some” (the “some” comment is a repeat from a couple of weeks ago) of the scope afforded by the low first quarter inflation figures and outlook, to lower the cash rate. 

A stimulus programme might be the way to go for the UK

By Christopher Beauchamp

The latest Japanese GDP reading highlights the success that the new massive stimulus programme being carried out in Japan has had in revitalising that stricken economy. Today’s drop in UK inflation suggests that the new Bank of England governor may be wise to suggest a similar policy for the UK.

The equity markets are too confident to ignore geopolitical risk and war

By Ronnie Chopra

The markets seem to be extending their highs in recent days with no concern about the continuing threat of war in the Middle East.

This morning, news that Israeli and Syrian forces have exchanged fire across the ceasefire line in the occupied Golan Heights was largely ignored by the financial markets. 

Sharp fall in silver today – fallen to levels not seen since September 2010

By Ronnie Chopra

This morning silver fell to levels not seen since September 2010 as commodity prices slumped overnight in Asia and this extended in early London trading. Although here is plenty of physical buying from China, India and the Middle East – there is heavy computer ETF selling.

A strong dollar and outperforming equity markets have shifted investor’s attention to more risky assets with silver suffering.

Has the dollar rallied too far, too quickly?

By Ishaq Siddiqi

Despite general US data thus far this week coming in a little softer, the dollar retains a bid tone, as US risk markets keep on posting new highs despite much speculation on whether USD may have rallied a little too far, too quickly.

Today we await CPI numbers and US data including housing, jobless claims and the Philly Fed.)
