History of Crises: The First Global Energy Crisis of 1973-1974

“The meek shall inherit the earth…But not its mineral rights” Paul Getty

1973 saw the first and severest energy crisis brought about by OPEC countries who reduced oil production. The economic crisis that started in the US in late 1973 significantly surpassed the global economic crisis of 1957-1958 in terms of the number of affected countries, duration, severity and devastation and, in certain aspects, was similar to that of 1929-1933. Besides, over 10 million people were shifted to part-time or laid off by companies. Real income of population fell everywhere. However, the 1973 Oil Crisis boosted oil exports to the West from the Soviet Union and heralded the independence of the USSR and, later, Russia from the oil pipeline and oil dollars.

Price, Time and Volume: Origins and Outcomes

Price, Time and Volume: Origins and Outcomes

I would like to say a couple of words dedicated to the first anniversary of the FUTURES TRADE AND STOCK EXCHANGE Faculty abouthow we came to trade on the basis of stock market volumes and what it all eventually resulted in.

After working for some time on popular platforms that provided detailed information we understood that having a host of data packed into a nice terminal wasn’t quite enough for successful trading and a lot of things either didn’t work in the form available to us or were useless.

In January 2008 we chanced upon information about Market Profile – or МР. We studied it and ultimately came to the conclusion that the MP theory was quite accurate in reflecting market sentiment though a model that it results in has a number of assumptions because of lack of primary information. But this didn’t prevent this ideology from developing at all as such analysis essentially involved medium-term nature of trading with minor inaccuracies changing the picture of the situation very little.

US Fed to Hit Developing Countries with the Money Press

US Fed to Hit Developing Countries with the Money Press

Last week was marked by the scheduled meeting of the US Fed. Its outcome was expected with some degree of unease. The tension was caused by uncertainty over parameters of the notorious ‘quantitative easing’ for the near term. US economy’s fate depended on the Fed's decision to a large degree – whether it is in for another cycle of crisis or it can be safely evaded and, as a result, how the dollar dynamics will evolve and export and import flows further develop.

 

It turns out the concerns were unnecessary – it all finished as usual, in a commonplace manner – they decided to turn on the money press and print as many billions as they need to save the American economy another time. Of course, the US government has a wealth of experience of ‘color print’ but the current situation is delicate in the way that such measures are usually taken in a critical position though it isn’t that extreme now.

World Bank offers to change dollar for gold. Will it be heard?

 

Robert Zoellick, the current president of the World Bank, offers to create a new currency system involving USD, AUD, GBP, JPY and CNY (Chinese Yuan) and using Gold as the market guideline.

The world’s biggest banks should think about the new gold standard of managing the currency market volatility, experts of Masterforex-V Academy say. According to Financial Times, it is gold that is used at the markets as an alternative asset.
Discontent with the global currency system is constantly growing around the world, that is why the World Bank has offered to introduce “the Bretton Woods System 2”, Mr.Zoellick says. However, despite economists’ numerous statements in favor of introducing the gold standard most policymakers believe that it will result in introducing extremely tough monetary policies, which in its turn will have a negative impact on the employment and economic growth around the world.

Eurozone: Apocalypse Inevitable?

Recently the financial world has been demonstrating quite a bad tendency – the world’s major currency, the US dollar, is being ‘capricious’. Its behavior is increasingly unpredictable. The instability of the American dollar (which is now rapidly depreciating against other global currencies) is not based on objective reasons alone. According to some experts, such ‘whims’ are caused to some degree by the US Government’s manipulations with the dollar. Despite its statements that it will not be involved in possible currency wars it in fact drastically responds to some countries’ willingness to depreciate their own currencies. This situation might change after the US Fed publishes exact data on quantitative mitigation which can be carried out in terms of volumes and terms in a few stages which the Fed can modify at each step of the program depending on the then current situation in domestic and foreign markets.

Wall Street: problems again?

Wall Street: problems again?

People have already started to gradually forget about the crisis.

US banks are showing stability, the rivalry is getting weaker. However, according to the reports of some broking agencies, the situation is not as favorable as it seems to be.

All that semblance of stability is made at the expense of the funds allocated for bad debts. The Wall Street is still working professionally, however it cannot influence all the changes. There are even suppositions: “The things, which are bad for the Wall Street, are good for the entire economy”. The US has created a “soap bubble of prosperity” while the Wall Street has to pay for it.

Speaking about Great Britain’s strategic lines of development.

In October one of the British citizens was lucky enough to win the “Euro million” lottery jackpot to the sum of 129 million euro. Now he is able to solve all his financial problems, which cannot be said about Great Britain as a whole.
The British government can only boast its 2nd strategic overview. The authors had a difficult task – to formulate the country’s development strategy while the government is trying to reduce the budget deficit.
The 3 main parts of the document explain the place of GB in the modern world and the most “harmonious” ways of surviving crises. The existing threats to the national security are also mentioned there.

The national strategy is:
• To consolidate GB’ ties with the fast-developing countries that are gradually becoming more significant in the international arena, including China, India, Russia and Brazil.
• To reduce the military costs by 7-8%, down to 1.7% of the national GDP, which is lower than the NATO standards (2%). According to the BBC, this will make other EU members of NATO reduce their military costs as well.

6ECONT and EURUSD: rather up than down.

Over the last few days the common European currency has made a consolidation effort, updating the local high at 1.4010. Today’s trading session may indicate whether the indefinite movement will turn into a flattish pattern within the 1.3878 – 1.3920 range or EURUSD will manage to conquer new heights, forming a solid bullish impulse.

This week’s market movements can be influenced by FOMC meeting minutes, which are to be released on Nov 3rd at 19.15GMT.
Most analysts consider the current condition of USD as rather weak. That is why in the short run we may witness the consolidation of the US Dollar against other major currencies. The investors’ attention is focused on how often and in what volume the Fed Reserve is going to implement the measures of “quantitative weakening”.

EURUSD: is the “Euro marathon” over?


Yesterday the Greeks were celebrating the 2500th anniversary of the Battle of Marathon.

The Battle of Marathon took place in 490 BC during the first Persian  invasion of Greece. It was fought between the citizens of Athens, aided  by Plataea, and a Persian force commanded by Datis and Artaphernes  (taken from Wikipedia). The Greeks managed to gain a victory over the  Persians. A messenger was sent to Athens. He ran 42km 195m, announced  the news and fell dead. In his memory an marathon race is held every  year, the participants of which follow the route of the famous messenger  warrior.



In the meantime, by the beginning of this trading week EURUSD has formed an upward H3 FZR*.



The Department of studying Masterforex-V trading system   supposes that on getting close to 1.4080 there will be a retracement  against the downward H4 wave. If the level is overcome the price will  form an H8 FZR.

For the downward scenario the key levels are: an H4 FZR (1.3734) – the  start of subwave c (C ) of level H8 with further getting over the  current mid-term low at 1.3697 will prompt the continuation of the  retracement against the wave C of level D2.
