Peter Thiel, founder of hedge-fund firm Clarium Capital Management LLC, said the British pound will continue to weaken this year as the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen appreciate.

The U.K. is the “worst country in the world at this point,” partly because of its trade deficits, Thiel said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The British government’s efforts to protect the banking system from the financial turmoil last week led to a drop in the pound to the lowest level against the dollar since 1985. The currency traded at $1.4313 as of 11:56 a.m. in New York today.

Thiel, whose fund trades everything from stocks to commodities, seeks to profit from broad economic trends, a strategy known as macro investing. He said that there would be “no fast recovery” of the global economy.

Investors should “stay very underweight equities, if at all, and you basically assume that the bailouts will not work to the degree they are expected to, the government will do less or not succeed in stopping this deleveraging process,” he said. Deleveraging is the process of paying down debt to lessen the risk of default.

Thiel, 41, who co-founded PayPal, started Clarium in 2002 after selling the online-payments service to EBay Inc. for $1.5 billion. His fund lost about 4.5 percent last year, according to investors. Macro funds gained 5.7 percent last year, while all hedge funds lost an average of 18 percent, according to data compiled by Hedge Fund Research Inc. of Chicago.

Government officials including U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner have backed greater regulation and disclosure requirements for hedge funds.

“Some degree of regulation is probably desirable at this point, just as a way of reassuring the people who are invested in this industry,” Thiel said

US growth fell by 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter, the largest drop since the first quarter of 1982. The GDP report was not nearly as bad as the market had expected. This has prevented the major currencies from falling further.

Overall trend of EURUSD is still down.

Confirmation of the downtrend depends on:

1. Whether it will breakout above the short term resistance of 1.3100.

2. Whether it will breakout above the 50 days moving average, which happens to be 1.3100 as well. 50 days moving average has been tested twice and failed (see chart below), so it is a good benchmark.

Traders might want to initiate a short position if EURUSD touches 1.3100 and fall, signals downtrend resumes.

Friday, the Office for National Statistics said the UK economy entered the first recession since 1991.
The economy contracted 1.5% sequentially in the fourth quarter, following a decline of 0.6% in the prior quarter. Economists had expected the economy to shrink 1.2% in the fourth quarter. From the previous year, GDP fell 1.8% in the fourth quarter, reversing a 0.3% increase in the third quarter.

The output of production industries declined 3.9% sequentially, compared with a decrease of 1.4% in the prior quarter. Manufacturing output dropped 4.6%, while mining and quarrying production slid 1.6%. At the same time, the output of the construction industry fell 1.1% and services output dropped 1%.

The euro is lower Friday as traders cite the likelihood of more weakness for the embattled currency.

Traders said some investors unloaded part of their dollar holdings later as they fretted about comments from the newly minted Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that the Obama Administration believes China is manipulating the value of its currency, despite his backing of a strong-dollar policy.

The comments about China fueled a wave of selling in long-dated U.S. Treasury securities amid concern that China may retaliate by unloading its massive amount of government debt holdings. That will raise borrowing costs for the U.S. government, businesses and consumers while further worsening the trade deficit in the U.S.

The European Commission downgraded its GDP growth forecasts for 2009 and 2010 and now sees the eurozone economy contracting 1.9% this year and expanded 0.4% next year, compared with estimated 0.9% growth last year. The EC's forecast is more pessimistic than the forecast of the European Central Bank which most recently estimated an economic contraction up to 1% this year. The EC also sees 2009 annual inflation around 1.0% and that could grow to 1.8% in 2010.

European Central Bank President Trichet reported yesterday that "2009 will be very difficult, as I indicated last Thursday. The council of governors considers that world and European growth in 2009 will be substantially lower than the forecasts made at the beginning of December." He added "The difficulties are still there, there is not in any circumstance any room for any complacency whatsoever. We must remain permanently ready to act."

The ECB cut rates by 50bps last Thursday and ECB forecasts are expected to be updated in March. ECB member Provopoulos today said the "scope for further rate cuts will be limited." ECB member Nowotny added "The ECB has no interest in interest rates going down to zero." Euro bids are cited around the US$ 1.3055 level.

Australia's unemployment rate inched up to a near two-year high in December.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported Thursday that the jobless rate hit 4.5 percent, compared to November's reading of 4.4 percent.

The report showed the Australian economy lost 44,000 full-time jobs in December, bringing the total number of full-time employees to 7,640,200. The December figure marked the third increase in lost jobs in four months, bringing the cumulative loss for the period to 77,000.
Part-time employment, meanwhile, swelled by 42,800 to 3,102,200, an indication that employers are cutting back on the number of hours worked rather than eliminating jobs outright.

The job loss was far worse than the 20,000 decline predicted by most economists and was the largest decline in full-time positions since March 2003.
Initial news of the better-than-expected jobless rate sent the Australia dollar higher, but the gains were short-lived when investors saw the sharp decline in full time jobs. The Aussie fell to a low of 0.6575 before rebounding.

To shore up the economy from deepening recession, the European Central Bank trimmed its key interest rate by 50 basis points to 2% in its first Governing Council meeting of the year. The reduction was in-line with the expectations of economists. This took the rate to the level last seen in June 2003. The new interest rate will take effect from January 21.

ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet said, “We continue to see global economic weakness and very sluggish domestic demand persisting in the coming quarters as the impact of the financial tensions on activity continues.”

“In the view of the Governing Council, this outlook for the economy remains surrounded by an exceptionally high degree of uncertainty. Overall, risks to economic growth remain clearly on the downside,” Trichet said.

The dollar hit intraday highs against the euro and yen Tuesday after the U.S. Commerce Department reported the U.S. trade deficit contracted by the most in 12 years during November.

The U.S. deficit in international trade of goods and services plunged by 28.7% to USD40.44 billion, compared with economists' estimates for a USD51 billion short fall in November.

Currency markets are weary heading into the European Central Bank meeting Thursday after Standard & Poor's threatened to downgrade the sovereign credit ratings of Spain and Greece. Traders failed to boost the euro on Germany's announcement of a second fiscal stimulus plan, valued at EUR50 billion.

US dollar is overbought in my opinion, we are seeing a huge rally in AUDUSD and EURUSD this morning (Asia time). Its hard to make a call right now if the sudden weakness in US dollar is sustainable, but my system has already signal buy for both AUDUSD and EURUSD.

The Euro continued to come under pressure as the market focuses on Thursday's Rate Decision. Also weighing on the Euro was concern over Ireland and Greece Sovereign debt been put on rating watch by S&P.
The British pound has retraced more than 50 percent of the rally we saw last week, as lingering risk aversion weighs on some of the more volatile currencies.
The Australian dollar was pulled sharply lower again Tuesday as Asian equity markets remained soft, commodity prices were weak and ratings agency Standard and Poor's warned regional neighbor New Zealand it could lose its AA-plus credit rating.
US Dollar strength is likely to persist for the rest of the week.

The Dollar recovered against some of its major currency pairs last Friday. This US dollar strength is expected to persist today.

Traders are optimistic on the USD and U.S. economy as they see Obama's stimulus plan as a big plus for the U.S. economy.

I will be looking to go long on US dollar when opportunity arises.

The dollar strengthened against the euro and erased its decline versus the yen Friday as investors digested the U.S. official payroll report.

Trading was erratic but little changed following the data release, but the dollar made a more decisive move higher against the euro as trade progressed. The euro hit an intraday low of USD1.3490 against the dollar.
While the data showed another month of job losses in the U.S. economy and the unemployment rate hit the highest since 1993, the size of the job cuts actually was less dire than some economists have forecast.

The payroll report showed 524,000 job cut in December, which is mostly in line with the median forecast of 525,000

Stephen Roach, chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, sees 2009 as a year of "severe global recession," inflation, and declining earnings.

"The key call investors will have to make is not so much on the shape of the recession, but what the contour of the subsequent recovery is likely to be," Roach told the Financial Times.

The markets will likely bet on a normal recovery, especially considering the huge amount of money the United States and European governments are pumping into their economies, Roach said.

President-elect Barack Obama is said to favor quick passage of a $775 billion stimulus bill that will be disbursed over two years. Talk of up to $1 trillion in combined spending and tax breaks has surfaced on Capitol Hill.

"Hope springs eternal that a relatively short-lived downturn will be followed by a pretty solid U-shaped recovery," Roach said.

Yet Roach isn't buying that idea.

"To the contrary: my strongest out-of-consensus idea for 2009 is a realization that the world is now facing a multi-year slowdown," Roach predicts.

"Any recovery in 2010 will be tentative and anemic."

Roach is betting that the American consumer is finally completely out of the game, although he doesn't discount a short-term stock rally. A very slow U.S. recovery will keep the rest of the world waiting for recovery as well, he warns.

In fact, discounter Wal-Mart might be the only retailer to report a rise in December sales, according to Thomson Reuters. Full numbers are due out today.

Two well-known economists know predict unemployment in the United States of greater than 11 percent — a number which would mean up to 7 million more people out of work. The November jobless rate, the latest data point available, was 6.7 percent.

Carmen Reinhart, from the University of Maryland, and Kenneth Rogoff, of Harvard, figure housing might not bottom until 2010, which they say bodes poorly for struggling banks that still hold trillions of dollars in mortgages.

"Financial crisis are protracted affairs," Reinhart and Rogoff wrote in a paper presented at this weekend's annual meeting of the American Economic Association, in San Francisco.


My View?

I agree with Mr Stephen Roach that we are in a multi-year slowdown. If you are thinking of investing in stock market in 2009, I say think twice.

In my opinion 2009 is a year of opportunity for forex and commodity trading, because in forex and commodity trading we can tap on market downturn.
