MightyMicro - 06 Sep 2004 13:44 - 1893 of 11056

Thanks for that link, moonie. Ain't historicals marvellous!

moonblue - 06 Sep 2004 14:27 - 1894 of 11056

to be fair he called the 192 top when everyone else was screaming for 2.00..mm
and the 1.88..so if the 17100 comes off..im going long

MightyMicro - 06 Sep 2004 14:31 - 1895 of 11056

Absolutely. UK house market is cooling rapidly, reducing pressure in the UK (versus the Eurozone 2% single currency forget it etc), the Fed will have to rise eventually, and there you have it, subject to the usual alarums and excursions.

hilary - 06 Sep 2004 14:54 - 1896 of 11056

I'm not so sure that the UK housing market is cooling rapidly yet, MM. Once house prices are off 20% or 30%, UK interest rates are sat somewhere at around 8.5% to 10% and repo's and personal bankruptcies are hitting fresh highs, then I'll be inclined to agree. I doubt that'll happen for around 4 years though.

For now, the debt mountain isn't getting any smaller and institutions are still prepared to lend at ridiculous income multiples and on hare-brained self-certification schemes.

moonblue - 06 Sep 2004 15:49 - 1897 of 11056

one must remember the us deficit is a large one..so gdp/usd will be a great long at 17100

MightyMicro - 06 Sep 2004 16:03 - 1898 of 11056

Hil, fine, but how do you reconcile 8-10% interest rates with entry to the Euro?

Or is this just your way of saying that Euro-entry in impossible given the radical differences in our economic structures?

(Please don't infer that I'm a Euro-enthusiast . . . :)

hilary - 06 Sep 2004 17:23 - 1899 of 11056

MM,

It appears that neither of us are Euro enthusiasts.

:o)

Personally, I can't see us joining the single currency for a long, long time yet, if at all. The sooner Bliar gets the message that it'll never work into his thick head, the sooner we can all move on, imo.

chocolat - 07 Sep 2004 00:38 - 1900 of 11056

Ah - but it ain't up to Bliar... we have Chancellor Brown to contend with, and we'll not be moving on for a while to come.

hilary - 07 Sep 2004 07:53 - 1901 of 11056

Indeed, choccie. It's a worry. He's got even more sawdust between his ears than Bliar.

MightyMicro - 07 Sep 2004 11:25 - 1902 of 11056

Sawdust or not, at least there's little sign of Euro-enthusiasm from Brown either.

In yesterday's FT, Wolfgang Munchau wrote that the lack of a political union is what threatens the Euro. In fact, he claims that the new constitution will be ineffective and lack the authority to enforce economic policy. So the Euro might fall apart, he says.

chocolat - 07 Sep 2004 11:43 - 1903 of 11056

Well there we have it from a German then - there'll be a queue for the Berliners' new currency next.. ;)

STORMCALLER - 07 Sep 2004 11:54 - 1904 of 11056

oops wrong window!

foale - 07 Sep 2004 12:08 - 1905 of 11056

chocolat...you mean Prime Minister Brown...by then
dont like him...but it will happen

House prices in Wales fell 8%...last MONTH...

chocolat - 07 Sep 2004 12:24 - 1906 of 11056

No point in wasting emotion on any of 'em, foale..

Anyone been here?

Greenspan certainly jerking the pound up at the moment!

The mind boggles over that comment, hodgins.

WASHINGTON (AFX) -- The U.S. economy has regained its footing after slipping into a soft patch in June, Fed chief Alan Greenspan said.

'The most recent data suggest that, on the whole, the expansion has regained some traction,' Greenspan said in prepared remarks to the House Budget Committee.

Greenspan said consumer spending rebounded in July and job growth picked up in August.

The positive comments from the Fed chairman on the economic outlook match the expectation of Fed watchers. They said that upbeat comments on the economic outlook would cement expectations of a third consecutive quarter-point rate hike when the FOMC meeting on Sept. 21.

The Fed chief had soothing words on inflation, saying that rising non-oil import prices 'have lessened,' helping to lower core consumer price inflation.

'Despite the rise in oil prices through mid-August, inflation and inflation expectations have eased in recent months,' Greenspan said.

Greenspan said economists disagree about the impact of rising oil prices on the economy.

He said the outlook for oil prices 'remains uncertain' due to a wide range of factors, including potential heavy demand from the rapidly growing economies of China and India.

what just happened to cable ? it dropped from 1.7876 to 1.7846 in 3 minutes, having hovered around 1.7875 for the last hour or more. Was there some news or data ? Not complaining (am short), just can't find the reason.
