Market Talk

Prime example of the shadiness that goes on in stocks/stock options: Perot Options Trading Rose to 7-Year High Before Bid (Update1) - Bloomberg.com

It's amazing how the options volume gets so high when noone "should" know ahead of time that Dell is buying Perot Systems.

There's no way someone can tell me that this just "happens" and that no one knew anything ahead of time.

When I see things like this...I'm reminded constantly why I trade the forex market.

Total's CEO gives his thoughts on the price of Oil.

Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Total SA Chief Executive Officer Christophe de Margerie said recent gains in oil prices reflect market anticipation of a supply shortfall within five years rather than current demand.

“If it was purely offer and demand, prices would be lower than the $60 we are seeing,” de Margerie said today in a Bloomberg Television interview in New York. “The market is anticipating in the long term there won’t be enough oil, some people would say speculating.”

We'll see if he's right.

Oil should break out of its daily chart "ascending triangle" soon and that will give me my direction.

Oil's direction will affect the CAD, particularly USD/CAD.

IMF's sale of gold!

I've long said that the IMF sale of gold will no shake up the gold market because its usually done "off exchange".

They usually directly sell it to central banks, etc. that may want it. China could be one of the buyers this time: China in the queue for IMF gold sale | The Australian

Why does the IMF sell gold? Are they bearish on it? No, actually it has nothing to do with that.

They hold gold but it doesn't pay interest. So they need income periodically and that comes from selling some of their gold holdings. That's why they are selling.

G-20 Warning on Commodity Currencies

http://forexforums.dailyfx.com/blogs...s-abounds.html

Sept. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The Group of 20 meeting starting today poses risks for further gains by commodity currencies, according to RBC Capital Markets.

“Beware also of any toughened stance from the authorities on tackling financial-market speculation on commodities and oil in particular,” Sue Trinh, a senior currency strategist in Sydney, wrote today in a report. “Further discussion on placing position limits on speculative positions could stop the current commodity-price rally in its tracks, with bearish consequences for commodity-leveraged currencies such as the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar.”

The euro may weaken as the G-20 starts, RBC also said.

“Following reports that France was worried about the euro’s strength yesterday, the euro may be on the defensive into the G-20,” Trinh wrote.

Kalvir, there is an MT5 in the works....when it's coming out though, we've not been told. So I'd venture to think that it's further off than we all think.

Bill Gross worried about Deflation!

Bill Gross is worried about Deflation...purchasing bonds: Pimco?s Gross Buys Treasuries Amid Deflation Concern (Update1) - Bloomberg.com

Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Bill Gross, who runs the world’s biggest bond fund at Pacific Investment Management Co., said he’s been buying longer maturity Treasuries in recent weeks as protection against deflation.

“There has been significant flattening on the long end of the curve,” Gross said in an interview from Newport Beach, California, with Bloomberg Radio. “This reflects the re- emergence of deflationary fears. The U.S. is at the center of de-levering as opposed to accelerating growth.”
