The issue put to the people in 2016 dates back to 1973 when UK joined the EU. The damage in costs versus benefits convinced nearly 52% of the voting public to leave the EU. Time now to look forward and plan for a great future and not get stuck in ...

EU’s Barnier: PM May Does Not Intend To Request An Article 50 Extension

Thank goodness that America is great again. I was a bit worried there for a while.

Fed’s Bowman: US Economy, Fed Policy Is In A Good Place - ‘Comfortable’ With Current MonPol...

The issue is that it is not going to be a lot stronger nor a lot weaker than expected. Not only is picking the timing difficult (Krugman's views) but the quantum of what we are talking about should be explicit (especially for a Nobel prize winner). ...

Paul Krugman expects a global recession this year, warns 'we don't have an effective response'

Yes, I expect a sustained break and a confident 'Almost there' heading reinforces the point. I don't mind waiting 6 months - its the strength of conviction that counts. A judgment you need to make is whether any other mistakes out of Washington are ...

US Dollar Outlook: Almost There

The issue here is inefficient sub-markets which market regulators have a responsibility to investigate and fix. Its the equivalent of Air Crash Investigation when innocent people get caught up in either human error, mechanical error, negligence, ...

Swiss Franc Slumps in Mini ‘Flash Crash’ as Japan Curse Strikes

Leaving the EU and keeping a CU makes a nonsense of both.

GBP/USD: Bears in control amid Brexit drama, focus shifts to UK GDP

Its amazing that another referendum still gets wheeled out as an option. It is not. The central focus is therefore wrong - it is not how Britain leaves but when. And as traders who are staring at an imminent answer the choice is between No-deal or ...

Brexit: More votes promised as Labour says May running down the clock

All positive for USD short term. World economic prospects unlikely to dim enough to help JPY and CHF. Already policy levers have moved to more (than otherwise) stimulus. Brexit chaos also positive for USD vs GBP and vs EUR. Good case for substantial ...

U.S.-China trade talks resume next week, focus on intellectual property

With Trump around everyone is a bloody useless trader.

Red-hot U.S. economy ignores global cooling - for now

One sided aggression is just aggression, not war. If the US wants a long drawn out trade war with China then it had better declare it and dig in for 20 years. Sell commodity currencies and forget about them. Trump has 23 months and counting. Buy USD ...

Trade war headlines could get much worse before they get better as the US looks to Europe

Anyone surprised? The world economy was doing well before the new US admin took over and took domestic and foreign policies to dizzying new heights of stupidity. Accelerate the US economy and slow down every where else. Result weaker world but in ...

World shares go weak as US dollar extends power surge

Hmmm. Not sure why your first sentence is necessary. Are you a seller or buyer of GBP? Neither I suspect. Nor I, yet. Democracy will triumph even at a cost and so I'm biased to buy.

UK: That sinking feeling...

Sadly Trump is entering a running down the clock phase as his lack of grip on realities works against any kind of real compromise. Chronic trade deficit is old hat diplomacy and no serious scholarly analysis supports such a view; loss of jobs on one ...

Trump Says Trade Deal With China Must Include Structural Change

Too many words! One woman given a clear task will finish the task. It's not about blinking any more but about the consequences of no agreement.

In short the US administration has stalled global economic momentum.

Prospects for the World Economy

USA is totally pure when it comes to international trading relations.

U.S.' Mnuchin, Lighthizer to hold talks next week in China: sources

No news here. China has all the resources needed to sustain the growth momentum built up over 30 to 35 years. The Chinese people have tasted success and still have a great distance to go to catch up with technology and consumption. Still has ...

The Coming China Shock

Congratulations, Bill, and thank you for all those think pieces which divided into your fortune by the number of readers would still be well undervalued. Sorry for the divorce cost. Too much time at the office no doubt.

Bill Gross is retiring with a $1.5 billion net worth — see how the 'Bond King' spends his...

Avoid safe haven bets. Trump has shaken all the cans and become predictable. Strong global growth theme will return as 2019 continues - good for USD and risk assets. Key triggers are softening of trade, easing biases in G7 to avoid sluggish growth, ...

Stronger Yen May Be Coming, Another BOJ Official Warns
