If you believe that central banks' "potent directors" carefully watch economic indicators and deftly adjust interest rates accordingly, this will come as a shock: Central banks are no more in control of interest rates than they are of the weather. Three examples prove this point.

The European Central Bank made a record "liquidity injection" into Europe's money markets this week. Will it help turn things around? Before you say yes, read this insightful comment by Robert Prechter, EWI's founder and president.

Pliny the Elder, a Roman military commander and philosopher, was a busy and intelligent man. His greatest legacy, Naturalis Historia, was one of the largest written works to have survived to the modern day in its original format. To this day two items from that book remain in our everyday lexicon. And as I watch the actions of Jean-Claude Trichet, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), all I can think of is Pliny the Elder's remarks...

It’s bad already. And it’s getting worse. Still, there are many who just don’t – or won’t – get it. The latter group is usually filled with politicians, too engaged in denial to fully grasp the fiscal and deflationary implications of this credit crisis.

Now that the Federal Reserve left U.S. interest rates unchanged and the U.S. dollar lost on the news, the question is: Was that all of the "pressure" the USD would see, or is there more to come? Here's a chart Elliott Wave International's Currency Specialty Service showed right before the Fed's announcement on June 25...

Tuesday brought another piece of bad news for the U.S. dollar: For the first time in history, the exchange rate between it and the euro went above one dollar and sixty cents. That, from a standpoint of technical analysis methods (one of which is Elliott wave) is a very interesting moment for the euro-dollar – for two reasons...

Just minutes after the release of a disappointing U.S. employment report last Friday morning (Feb. 1), the U.S. dollar suddenly got stronger and the EUR/USD exchange rate plunged. The fall was fast and deep; by Friday night, the dollar stood over 100 pips stronger against the euro -- despite the morning's bad economic news. Strange? You can say that again. But what happened next was even stranger.

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
