Contango 659 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=USDPHP=X+Interactive#symbol=;range=3m;compare=;indicator=volume;charttype=area;crosshair=on;ohlcvalues=0;logscale=off;source=undefined; Looks like the Ole Greenback has been playing with some resistance levels against ye Old Peso as of late, its been flirting with a breakout , USD up almost 6.42% over last 90 days. I smell break out! Wonder what is going on inside the Central Bank of RP that we don't know about, the Dollar isnt getting much stronger, its treading a bit of water, so looks like the Peso may be ready to take a dump. Been studying the Asian charts a lot closer lately, also looks like something may be brewing in Japan as well. Filipino central bank selling the Peso? every one wants a competitive/low currency it seems...lots of risk currency's falling against the USD. Link to post Share on other sites

spooks 1,729 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Emerging markets were a default benficiary to a nil yield market. The signs are that the nil yield market will have some capital appreciation in anticipation of yieled climbs. This market is perceived to be a safer market than emerging markets. Could the cruel reality be that since 2008 the emerging markets have never had it so good and may never see such good times roll again for another generation. So what did the Emerging markets do with this opportunity that will place them in a postiion to benefit from established markets entering into recovery,?if they are entering! I suspect precious little has been done in the Philippines, they are perceived to be laggards at the ASEAN level!! and no indication that they are prepared for a ASEAN "commonmarket" from 2015. I have seen precious little that shows me that significant seizing of opportunities made by failing and falling western economies has been grabbed. I think the competetive nature of western economies that function better in open markets whilst still serving the "good of all" will once again prevail. For some ASEAN governments to continue to rely on their success at Human traffiking their own people like cattle, may still prove to be their only card at the table and it it is NOT the ACE of Trumps. $US will strangthen, western stockmarkets will initially fall, before they get over themselves and remember that there is no such thing as 'Free money' and that Tapering withdrawl is inevitable as it is not a birthright. Only odd thing is that some predict that the strenghening in a rising $US will see the pound fall to 1:45. Is the dollar really that strong and the GBP that weak, then again this pundit predicted today great things for the peso!! Sometimes I think I may be the one living in la la land...than again I am Edited August 16, 2013 by spooks 1 Link to post Share on other sites

spooks 1,729 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Time to bail out of the aussie dollar if u can for this year, to US or even Euro and GBP,,,,NOT pesos Next year if China banking system implodes there will noy be much demand for aussie as demand for imported raw materials will be stunted. Then again............ Yes I moved form aussie to GBP in May/June when it was near 68 and about 1.05 to US $. I may go back when AUS dollar tanks to 45 against the GBP, probably not until Edited August 27, 2013 by spooks Link to post Share on other sites
