As many expected the BOJ kept rates unchanged as they continue to encourage a move away from bonds and into equities. Still the policy approach continues as slow but steady. This caused the JPY to trade above the 111 level even as the BOJ talks of 2% inflation (currently 0.5%). Hang Seng and Shanghai saw […]

We have prepared a very important special report on Britain in the wake of the British election. This special report covers the forecast for the British pound (otherwise known as cable or starling) against the dollar, euro, and the Japanese yen. Additionally, this covers the long gilts and the share market. We have also addressed the rising tensions once again in Northern Ireland that may reignite violence.

Moreover, we address how all three forecasts said that the Conservatives and Labour would gain in the election. Yet, the Conservative would get more votes than Labour, but somehow the forecast that the pound would still move lower seemed to be at odds with a conservative government and BREXIT. It looks like the computer was correct anyhow, and a hung Parliament made all three forecasts correct.

We will probably only see one out of four move this week and that one will, of course, be the Federal Reserve. Yes, we have four central banks meeting this week (FED, SNB, BOJ and BOE) but it is only the FED where the market has anticipated a move. Having been talked for weeks we […]

The big talking point in Asia was GBP and the early indications that results were leading to a hung-parliament. Even before Europe had opened sterling was around 1.75% lower on the day. However, Asian markets were mixed with the largest mover being KOPSI (+0.75%). China data (CPI) released in line at 1.5% for May, whilst […]

  The energy output of the sun I have reported is crashing faster than anyone expected. Normally, when the cycle has changed from global warming to global cooling, it has tended to be more gradual. It appears the energy output of the sun may be now making 100 year lows. We have seen food shortages […]

As we approach what is being touted as a Super Bowl of politics with Comey’s testimony people are making bets will end Trump’s Presidency for good, it is curious how one Roman Emperor was taken down by the Deep State and declared a public enemy driving him to suicide. The Roman Emperor Nero (54-68AD) gets […]

It was no surprise that we saw quiet markets for most of Asia’s core market, given we have so much due tomorrow (Thursday). Shanghai was the exception as it rallied +1.25% as market players took the recent increase of US Treasuries as a sign of domestic strength. This is the largest increase since 2013, but […]

  Qatar is known for its ultra-modern architecture. In this respect, Doha is something to be viewed at least once in life. However, Qatar is a strict religious country that follows sharia law, in which homosexuals and adulterers face a possible death penalty, life imprisonment, or flogging. Qatar is a Salafi version of Sunni Islam, which […]

The currency balanced some […]
