    margin requirements are being increased all over the place

    the CME raised margin requirement for silver, then cotton, then soybeans

    the ICE raised margin requirement for sugar

    and this is what happened to the price of sugar

    Fed QE2 formally begins

    http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/to..._schedule.html

    buys 6 to 8 billion dollars of US treasuries with maturity range of 11/15/2014 to 4/30/2016

    anyone who has those specific treasuries in their inventory can sell to the Fed

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-1...it-easing.html

    The Federal Reserve began buying Treasuries as part of a second round of unconventional monetary easing to reduce unemployment and avert deflation.

    Policy makers are purchasing $6 billion to $8 billion of U.S. government debt as part of its plan to acquire $600 billion of Treasuries through June and reinvest maturing mortgage holdings. Securities due from November 2014 through April 2016 that are eligible for purchase today are listed on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website.

    the past couple of days, the EU has been pressuring Ireland to accept help

    the Irish govt says it doesnt need help

    the EU is afraid the crisis in Ireland will spillover to other EU countries

    that's why the EU wants Ireland to accept help, to stop the crisis from spreading, like cancer

    so the latest is...

    the Irish govt is given an ultimatum -- decide in 24 hours

    Ireland told: Take EU bailout or trigger crisis
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...an-debt-crisis
    An increasingly isolated Irish government was coming under mounting pressure tonight to seek an EU or International Monetary Fund bailout within 24 hours amid fears that contagion from its crippled banking sector might spread through the weaker eurozone countries.

    China is experiencing high food price inflation

    China govt to hold down food prices

    Govt to introduce food price rules
    http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/busines...t_11556581.htm
    The Chinese government will introduce a series of adjustment measures to restrain rocketing food prices, the China Securities Journal reported Tuesday, citing sources close to authorities.

    The National Development and Reform Commission, China's economic and social development policy formulator, is likely to release some strict rules to stabilize food prices, the report said.

    Measures such as price fixing plans, food price control systems in cities, public subsidies, and harsher punishment for hoarding and market manipulation activities will be introduced soon.
