The most immediate question is whether or not it will pick up where it left off 2017 and continue its climb into the New Year, or fizzle and spend the year going sideways or worse, down.

2018: The Year Of Living DangerouslyThere is one redeeming benefit to writing "forecasts": they invariably and inevitably reduce you to a quivering mass of humility as the hubris born of luck and circumstance is replaced with the reality of randomness. I have been reading research reports for years and the most useful portions are those where an analyst goes back and reviews his/her reasons for ow...Read More

By Graham SummersJune of 2017 marked the date at which the inflation genie was let out of the bottle.That was the month that:1) Fed Chair Janet Yellen began the process through which the Fed publicly admitted that it has no clue about how inflation really works.2) The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced it would continue its massive QE program despite clear evidence Japan's economy was out of...Read More

FOMC minutes on Wednesday, US December private ADP employment numbers on Thursday and US December nonfarm payrolls on Friday will affect the short term trend of the US dollar. Last year the focus of the markets was on intere...Read More
