us$ index / do fundamentals matter (in the end..) ?

the weakness in the $chart is really an importend issue. further weakness will reverse the carry trade http://immobilienblasen.blogspot.com/2006/11/boj-chief-has-yen-carry-concern-mother.html#links and force the fed to hold on longer to higher rates. one wild card are the commodities. when they will rise in the face of a weakining $ the troubles gets even uglier. the other importend point will be the demand from foreigners for all the us assets (mainly us debt / treasuries and corporate).

the market is also testing the importend bottom in the 10 years around 4,54-4,55 http://immobilienblasen.blogspot.com/2006/11/bottom-in-10-year-treasuries.html#links

die schwäche im $chart ist wirklich nicht zu unterschätzen. weitere schwäche im $ dürfte die fed dazu verleiten länger an höheren zinsen festzuhalten als evtl. angemessen. fraglich auch wie sich die rohstoffe verhalten. in der vergangenheit sind diese bei einem schwachen $ gestiegen. zusätzlich dürfte es entscheidend sein inwieweit die ausländer immer noch gewillt sind us anleihen (égal ob vom staat oder unternehmen) zu erwerben. zudem könnte sich der carry trade umkehren. http://immobilienblasen.blogspot.com/2006/11/boj-chief-has-yen-carry-concern-mother.html#links

der markt testet heute zudem die extrem wichtige markierung der 10 jahresbonds bei 4,54/4,55 http://immobilienblasen.blogspot.com/2006/11/bottom-in-10-year-treasuries.html#links

Hello from the USA. I liked the pics. This decline has been a long time coming. Too long, way too long. I think much of the world still thinks of the US the way many here do, delusionally wealthy. The government so-called capitalists have ruined us. Oh well, bring on the depression, we've been needing one for about ten years now.

that death knell,

i agree. the media in germany and europe still are in denial.

the secoundhardest hit after the us could be germany. everything here is dependend on our exports. with the $ coming down a lot of componies will have big big troubles.
