The week ahead in the FX Markets with Haley West from Thomson Financial Transcript: Welcome to FX Hub's Look at the week ahead, I'm Haley West European inflation is the focus early Monday morning as the ECB reports money supply figures and Germany unveils CPI data throughout the session. The US new home sales report is due out at 15:00 GMT. Economists expect sales to have stabilized in December. Japan unleashes a wave of data on Tuesday including unemployment and retail sales. Consumer and business confidence are out from France and Italy respectively followed by retail trade data from the Confederation of British Industry. Important durable goods orders round out the calendar for Tuesday. Wednesday, Japan leads off with industrial production, followed by consumer credit and mortgage application data out of the UK. Later, we get the first peek at fourth quarter growth figures from the US. A sharp slowdown to 1.3% annualized is seen in Q4, down from the blistering pace of 4.9% in Q3. The Fed is expected to cut the funds rate once again with the announcement to come at 2:15 Eastern time Wednesday afternoon. Housing starts and construction orders lead off in Japan. German unemployment, consumer prices and sentiment surveys for the Eurozone follow later Thursday. Canadian GDP, US jobless claims; consumption and income data and the Chicago purchasing managers index round out the US calendar. The most important report of the month leads off the month of February Friday morning as the US reports nonfarm payrolls and the unemployment rate. If the employment report deviates drastically in direction from the Fed's course of action on Wednesday, the central bank will be saddled with greater credibility problems, if possible. That's our look at the week ahead. Good trading! I'm Haley West

Economics Journalist Robert Kuttner on the "Most Serious Financial Crisis Since the Great Depression": "This is the Result of Rightwing Ideology and the Political Power of Wall Street" Amid growing fears of a worldwide recession, the Federal Reserve slashed a key interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point on Tuesday, the biggest single cut in nearly a quarter of a century. Meanwhile, President Bush and congressional leaders pledged to work together on a stimulus measure that would inject about $150 billion in additional money into the economy. But many economists are skeptical over whether any measures can turn around a severe slump in the housing market and the subprime mortgage crisis, signs of growing unemployment and weakening consumer spending and the added blow of record high oil prices. We speak to veteran economics journalist Robert Kuttner and Robert Weissman, co-director of the corporate accountability group Essential Action and editor of Multinational Monitor magazine.

"Inflation", in the year of its 80th Birthday and in tribute to 'Helicopter' Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve System. Made by the legendary filmmaker Hans Richter in Germany (1928); a warning from the past. (In January, 1921, there were 64 marks to the dollar. By November, 1923 this had changed to 4,200,000,000,000 marks to the dollar.) The Federal Reserve, isn't a Federal institution (its a collection of private 'Reserve' banks) and does not back the dollar with anything of 'value'; i.e."Reserves". If you visit http://www.opensecrets.org you can see the public data on which of these banks are the leading campaign contributors to each of the Presidential Candidates in the 2008 elections. The only candidate I could find without a big bank on their 'top ten' (contributors by company) list is Ron Paul. I suggest you take a moment to think about why Ron Paul is the only candidate speaking publicly about Inflation and the Fed. http://www.ronpaul2008.com --------------------------------------- Contributions from Selected Industries; Commercial Banks: http://opensecrets.org/pres08/select.asp?Ind=F03 Securities & Investment Industry: http://opensecrets.org/pres08/select.asp?Ind=F07 --------------------------------------- "The result of this arrangement is inflation. And inflation finances war." "The bubble bursts quickly once the credit dries up and the bills cannot be paid." -Ron Paul --------------------------------------- Ron Paul: http://opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.asp?id=N00005906&cycle=2008 Hillary Clinton: http://opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.asp?id=N00000019&cycle=2008 Barack Obama: http://opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.asp?id=N00009638&cycle=2008 Mitt Romney: http://opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.asp?id=N00000286&cycle=2008 Rudy Giuliani: http://opensecrets.org/pres08/contrib.asp?id=N00009908&cycle=2008 --------------------------------------- ". . . too many politicians and lobbyists are spending America into ruin. We are nine trillion dollars in debt as a nation. Our mounting government debt endangers the financial future of our children and grandchildren. If we don't cut spending now, higher taxes and economic disaster will be in their future ? and yours. In addition, the Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway debt by increasing the money supply ? making each dollar in your pocket worth less. The Fed is a private bank run by unelected officials who are not required to be open or accountable to "we the people." Worse, our economy and our very independence as a nation is increasingly in the hands of foreign governments such as China and Saudi Arabia, because their central banks also finance our runaway spending. We cannot continue to allow private banks, wasteful agencies, lobbyists, corporations on welfare, and governments collecting foreign aid to dictate the size of our ballooning budget. We need a new method to prioritize our spending. It's called the Constitution of the United States.
