Bond Market Bubbles

ATV  News -- Financial Blogger  13 th Aug 10

Federal Reserve decided to keep easing monetary policy by buying two years to ten years treasury with the matured mortgage backed securities cash flow. Fed's decision strengthens Treasuries in the short term, and there are no better alternatives for investors at the moment anyway. But if the interest rates keep on lowering, there may be a danger of fixed income asset bubble developing. Once the investors find the super low interest rate unattractive, money will flow out to other risk assets like stocks.

Short-term investors should sell SCB and buy HSBC

i-Cable -  Market Watch --  5th Aug 10

Standard Chartered reported earnings on Wednesday and its net income increased 110% to 2.1 billion for the six months ended June. The growth in personal banking is significant. However, the development of its commercial banking is slower than expected. SCB’s profits are mostly from emerging markets, thus less impacted by the recent financial tsunami. On the other hand, HSBC is deeply involved in the US and European business. Therefore, the share price of HSBC has been lagging behind SCB. In view of the better profit growth of HSBC, its short term price appreciation potential is greater than SCB.

Gold price may turn strong if it can test $1,200 an ounce

ATV  News -- Financial Blogger  4th Aug 10

Gold price rose to $1,190 an ounce on Tuesday as the dollar slipped below 250-day moving average and U.S economic indicators show that the recovery is slowing down. Meanwhile, China’s decision to relax bullion-trading rules in commercial banks also benefits gold price. Although China’s new policy will not have immediate impact on the gold demand, it increases investors’ optimistic expectation. If gold price can recover above $1,200, the technical prospect will be improved and trading in the range from $1,200 to $1,300 is expected.
