Danger In The Markets? Part II

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Before displaying some charts of the stock market, I would like to post a couple of the Japanese Yen.  My comment of September 14 is relevant today:

“Additionally, is it not odd, on an “all things considered” basis, that the Japanese Yen is rising at what appears to be an increasing rate?  This rise commenced in mid-2007, as seen below:”

Here is the 5-year daily chart of the Japanese Yen:

Here is the 1-year daily chart.  As one can see, there may be a Cup and Handle chart pattern forming from early 2009:

Peril In The Markets? Part II

Monday, September 14th, 2009

I have included two charts of the Ten-Year Treasury yields below – one daily and one monthly.  The monthly is provided for a longer-term perspective. 

I would like to address the daily chart.  It seems odd that in an environment in which

  1. inflation is (purportedly) a growing concern
  2. the economy is supposedly recovering faster than anticipated
  3. Treasury debt auctions have been materially increasing in size

that since roughly early June, the Ten-Year Treasury yield has been decreasing:

Additionally, is it not odd, on an “all things considered” basis, that the Japanese Yen is rising at what appears to be an increasing rate?  This rise commenced in mid-2007, as seen below:
