High Yielders Back In Fashion. By Nicholas Hastings
High-yielding currencies are becoming even more attractive than they were before. Once upon a time, investors turned to the currencies of emerging-market and commodity countries with high interest rates only at times of supreme confidence when taking risks appeared like a good idea.

0 comments Dollar Rally May Stall But Not For Long. By Nicholas Hastings
The dollar is probably now only at base camp. And its climb to the summit still has some way to go.

0 comments More Problems On Way For Euro. By Nicholas Hastings
The euro will still slide, even without Greece. The debt problems of Spain and Portugal still remain a threat to the currency's stability and the deteriorating outlook for the euro-zone economy will also take its toll.

0 comments Australian Dollar Will Keep On Climbing. By Nicholas Hastings
As the Australian economy continues to accelerate ahead of the global recovery, so should the Australian dollar. Last week illustrated just why the Aussie should soon revisit its 2008 high at $0.9850.

0 comments Bank of Japan Prepares For The Inevitable. By Nicholas Hastings
The Bank of Japan is wise to prepare for battle. The increase in its intervention war-chest by Y5 trillion to Y145 trillion--the first increase in six years--may yet be needed to halt the yen's relentless rise.

0 comments Political Fears Will Continue To Haunt Sterling. By Nicholas Hastings
Debt developments in the euro zone and continued hopes for a global recovery may well distract market attention from sterling's problems. But, as Monday's sudden downward jolt shows, fears of a hung parliament and a double dip recession will continue to haunt the currency, with analysts now expecting it to fall as far as $1.20, or down to parity against the euro.

0 comments The Euro Won't Be The Same Now. By Nicholas Hastings
This is the end of the euro as we know it. By the end of this week, Germany will more than likely have agreed to back Greek sovereign debt.

0 comments Chinese Move On Yuan Unlikely Just Now. By Nicholas Hastings
Speculation over a yuan revaluation should subside for now. Neither politics nor economics suggest the time is right--no matter how much the U.S. or the euro zone would like it.

0 comments The Yen Will Continue Rising Now. By Nicholas Hastings
If Japanese investors don't push the yen down, then the Bank of Japan will have to step in. There is certainly little sign that the yen will fall back again of its own accord.
