Barclays Pegged Currency ETN
Barclays has launched a new ETN that tracks the Global Emerging Markets Strategy Pegged Currency Index. The Barclays Asian and Gulf Currency Revaluation ETN (PGD) covers the currencies of Saudi Arabia, UAE, China, Hong Kong and Singapore.
It is widely expected that these five countries will have their currencies reevaluated and their dollar pegs adjusted upwards, resulting is a profit opportunity in the not so long term.
Barclays has another ETN that tracks 15 emerging market currencies in US Dollar terms (JEM).
Friday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets
David Fry (ETF Digest) submits: << Return to page 1 - Out of Options?
Okay, that will wrap up this week for us. I’m in Ontario, CA for the TradersExpo and a visit with our son. I’ll be speaking at a panel here on Saturday around noon. I notice that attendance is quite light here by comparison to past conferences. This means travel expenses are high while investor moods are low. This place is 50 miles from LA and is no easy drive for folks in the area.
Options and futures for the quarter expire today. Volume is building in advance and you should expect some strange activity by the close today as astute options players in particular try to pick-off expiring contracts.
Due to travel back over the weekend posting may not resume until early next week.
Have a pleasant weekend.

Chinese Revaluation: Be Careful What You Wish For
Sean Maher submits:
International pressure on China to revalue its currency (the Renminbi or RMB) by at least 10-15% remains intense; an incoming US administration led by either candidate is likely to adopt a much tougher diplomatic stance. The RMB has appreciated 20% against the dollar since 2005, but then it would be hard not to given the sorry state of the greenback, although the rise has accelerated in recent months.
For a variety of domestic reasons, I believe a one-off revaluation is now very much on the agenda in Beijing, and may be the key macroeconomic event later this year or early next. Chinese authorities are struggling to control both rising inflation (a generalised emerging market issue) and a wave of speculative liquidity flooding through their current account to circumvent official capital controls.

Wednesday Outlook: Commodities, Emerging Markets
David Fry (ETF Digest) submits:
<< Return to page1 - Reality Bites
Earnings from brokers are starting to roll in and Goldman Sachs (GS)
reported better than expected earnings but the stock sold-off.
They reported trading gains of $5.59 billion
which came from a variety of sources but commodity markets were notably
mentioned but not detailed.
Do you think
they’d take money from the Fed and trade crude oil with it?
That would be something but it wouldn’t
surprise me.
Those congressmen venting
about those “dark” commodity markets would really have something to deal
with.
But, wait, GS are pretty friendly
with those complaining loudest.
I’m still a little stumped by Friday’s rally given the thin
news to back it up.
The only thing to
attribute it to was the oversold conditions of the McClellan Oscillator which can
be a pretty reliable “tell”.
I won’t be posting again tomorrow as I’m flying from SFO to
LAX for another conference. I hope to post again on Friday.
Have a pleasant day.
