2008-05-08 11:56:00 The media has been sighing with relief that the greatest depression since the 1930's doesn't seem likely. However, global inflation remains an elephant in the room threat (Goldman Sachs analyst predicts $200 oil by year end ), and it's encouraging to see the world banks working in concert to ensure a stronger dollar to keep inflation at bay:Europe and US unite on stronger dollar (FT) All about the dollar - what the currency strategists think (despite the fact that today, ECB's Trichet isn't signaling lower interest rates on Europe's side in order to combat inflation, causing a dollar dip) But we're certainly not out of the dark forest yet, none other than George Soros claims we're in a bear market rally that will tip back into despair: The Wall Street Journal writes that Soros recently said ?The markets are breathing a sigh of relief but the fallout in the real economy is only now beginning.?

ECB cooperation to maintain dollar's strength
2008-04-24 13:35:00 The European Central Bank and its president Jean-Claude Trichet have been posturing with the mission to fight inflation by maintaining and not dropping ECB interest rates relative to the recent sharp drops by the Fed. It has contributed to a weakening dollar. Food price and oil price inflation, exacerbated by the weak dollar, have become high profile topics that make the ECB stance look unkind. Once the dollar's slide reached $160 per euro, the ECB shifted posture today: "We're concerned about the possible implications for financial and macroeconomic stability," Trichet told reporters, according to Dow Jones Newswires. He added that it's "very important" that U.S. authorities have said a strong dollar is in the country's own interest.The remarks came after the euro hit a record high against the dollar Tuesday of $1.6020. "Is it a coincidence that the change in tone came after the euro breached $1.60, and that so many ECB members are taking a less hawkish tone? W...
