Euro devaluation

Look for a massive, BIS led euro devaluation this week as a result of the ECB's no-collateral 600B euro loan to member nations in its rececent bailout. Banks have been notified to expect a large change in currency rates. This should provide a nice short term rally in PMs. Monday evening PM action in asia should provide indication if fear does in fact take hold.

    I have been watching some coins priced in euro's on ebay and they have been getting more affordable in dollars . I was getting ready to hit one seller hard this week . If you think a big drop is coming maybe I will wait a bit to pull the trigger.

    Wouldnt that cause the dollar to rally and PM's to drop? image

    Yes. Exactly. Commodity bearish is my take away.

    This should be interesting... we only have hours to wait... Personally, I am a bit conflicted as to the effects of a Euro devaluation... seems it could go either way. Whichever way transpires, I will be interested in the 'post mortem' reasoning... Cheers, RickO

    assuming everyone dumps euros for dollars. What if rising fear of fiat paper drives them to gold? A wise investor should realize currency is only paper. The only safe play with dollars has to be short term because it's next!

    I think there is one heck of a liquidity crises going on right now.

    That funny money that pushed up commodities is now retracing and paying bills, IMHO.

    Now that I said that , watch gold hit 2200.image
    Have a nice day

    If this did occur, I dont think PM's will get a boost, if anything It will propell the $ . Regardless of what people say, and how bad the US economy is and so forth, when it comes down to the nitty gritty, Foreigners want US $

    Tonight is almost like a Sunday night. Most market players were away today (US, UK, Canada, Australia). Tomorrow the UK, Canada, and Australia are still on holiday.
    Options/futures expiry days for gold is tomorrow and Wednesday. May see some attempts to push the market down with so many people away. Wednesday will be the day
    that counts.

    I could argue both sides of this.

    Thin trading this week. I guess this as a non event. MJ

    I still think it will prove to be an interesting week.... but, I have been wrong lately (predicted $2K gold by year's end)... so, just watching. Cheers, RickO
