0 comments The End Of The Rally For Commodity Currencies. By Nicholas Hastings
Commodity currencies have risen just about as far as they can go for now. Sure, as the world economy recovers they should still remain on top.

0 comments Intervention Is Back On the Agenda. By Nicholas Hastings
The Australians have probably been doing it. The Swiss have almost certainly done it. The Japanese are hoping they won't have to do it. And now the Europeans look as it they wish they could do it. Intervene to cap their currencies, that is.

0 comments Yen Intervention Will Still Be Needed. By Nicholas Hastings
Politics is one thing and the currency market is another, as the new Japanese government has just found out. This revelation should mean an end to the yen's recent sharp rally, which has taken the dollar under Y90 for the first time in over seven months.

0 comments Dollar Rally May Gain Momentum Now. By Nicholas Hastings
This dollar rally could well have legs. Rising concern over the strength of the global economic recovery and a renewed interest in safe havens are likely to keep the U.S. currency in demand.

0 comments Yen Could Be The Fourth Quarter Star. By Gary Stride
It might seem a bit rash to say that the yen could be the star currency in the last quarter of 2009 especially when it's already trading at eight-month highs against the dollar. But the pure fact that it's doing just that, and seemingly causing no concern to either Japanese exporters or the Japanese authorities gives this scenario some weight.

0 comments Sterling Becomes A Pawn Sacrificed By Its King. By Gary Stride
A pawn is the most worthless piece on a chess board and sterling is pretty much in the same camp now after being sacrificed by its King. Bank of England Governor Mervyn King told a regional U.K. newspaper Thursday that the current weakness of sterling is "very helpful" for the economic rebalancing process in the U.K.
