The forces arraigned against the Rand are rather formidable and no collapsed corporate deals seem to matter too much. The Rand is rising and will rise.

Pushing the Rand higher are the major central banks at the global centre (New York, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Zurich, London), keeping interest rates near zero and encouraging outward liquidity leakage towards faster growing and still outperforming yield destinations in the global periphery.

Pulling the Rand higher are a smattering of central banks located in the global periphery as they start increasing their rates, led by the Bank of Israel two weeks ago, but last week followed by the Reserve Bank of Australia, with others expected to follow serially in coming months.

With their growth reviving, small output gaps, house prices and employment rising and industrial activity recovering, these central banks are uncomfortable with their too low interest rates imposed during

Pundits greeted Angela Merkel’s convincing election win in Germany Sunday with a collective yawn. Commentators think the German economy is sluggish and over-dependent on exports, and believe that a change in the German government from a grand coalition to a center-right coalition will make little policy difference.

I think that’s wrong. It’s an erroneous viewpoint that’s symptomatic of the short memories of the chattering media. It’s also one that could cause investors to miss out on one of the best profit plays in the global marketplace today.

I’m talking about Germany – the real powerhouse of Europe.

The “New” Germany

From the 1950s to the 1980s, West Germany consistently delivered high growth rates and low inflation. West German engineering proved superior to any other on the planet. And West German living standards rose far above anywhere else in Europe.

East and West Germany were reunited and an

The dollar rose broadly on Monday, hitting a near two-week high against the yen, as traders trimmed short positions in the U.S. currency following broad losses so far this month.

Against the yen, the dollar rose more than a full percent, after speculative flows pushed it higher in quiet trade in Asia, where markets in Japan, Singapore and other centres were closed for holidays.

In the absence of economic events or data, traders took profits on currencies which have rallied against the dollar, including the euro, up more than 2 percent so far this month.

Analysts said some investors were becoming concerned that short dollar positions were overstretched, suggesting that a near-term correction may be in store.

“There’s already a lot of long euro/dollar positions in the market so it’s difficult to push the pair higher,” said Lutz Karpowitz, currency strategist at Commerzbank in Frankfurt.

Data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed that currency

I often argued the bull case for gold over the past few months. With gold having surged by $40 an ounce (+4.1%) to $994 this week, it would certainly seem as if renewed interest in the yellow metal is being stirred up.

As printing presses are running at full speed to produce ever-increasing quantities of fiat money as governments engineer the greatest asset price reflation in human history - and the US greenback is heading South - the longer-term fundamental case for the yellow metal is arguably positive.

The shorter-term technical picture is also starting to look interesting. This is explained by Adam Hewison
