    the Fed tried to create inflation in the US (with zero rates and QE -- which devalued the dollar -- which caused commodities prices to rise) to beat deflation but the inflation it created leaked out

    it went to Asia

    Asia Inflation Fight Spreads as Philippines, Malaysia Raise Interest Rates

    The Philippines and Malaysia joined India and Vietnam in raising interest rates this week as nations in a region that led the global economic recovery intensified their fight against inflation.

    Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas yesterday increased the rate it pays lenders for overnight deposits to 4.5 percent from 4.25 percent in its second move this year, while Bank Negara Malaysia lifted the benchmark overnight policy rate for the first time in 2011, boosting it by a quarter point to 3 percent.

    Surging food and oil costs are escalating the danger of inflation in Asia, prompting policy makers to accelerate monetary tightening even at the risk of slowing growth. India on May 3 doubled the magnitude of rate increases and the State Bank of Vietnam raised borrowing costs the following day for the fifth time in 2011.

    Silver massacre continues today after yesterdays more than 10% drop. Gold (my fave commodity) is actually doing well given this commodity sell of only down $1 and change... Soft commodities are also under pressure...

    Yan na nga sinasabi natin dati na pag SOBRANG BILIS ang akyat, MABILIS DIN ANG BAGSAK!

    Kaya gusto ko yung up move ng Gold, slow but steady. Kaya ayan mas controlled ang correction...

    a lot of people were expecting the ECB to signal another rate hike coz of rising inflation in euroland

    Job numbers in the US for April 2011

    NORTH 244,000. Private payroll up 268,000 while gov't jobs down 24,000...

    Unemployment rate is 9% which is higher than last month...

    I am shocked. It turned out to be good... DOLLAR UP, EQUITIES UP, COMMODITIES FALLING in general except for Gold...

    Greece Considers Exit from Euro Zone

    The debt crisis in Greece has taken on a dramatic new twist. Sources with information about the government's actions have informed SPIEGEL ONLINE that Athens is considering withdrawing from the euro zone. The common currency area's finance ministers and representatives of the European Commission are holding a secret crisis meeting in Luxembourg on Friday night.
    Greece denies the report (yeah sure... as if Greece has any credibility left)
