    US Dollar Forecast, Interest Rates Cutting is Now Done
    2008-05-24 03:30:00
    Reuters forecast that US dollar will remain weak in forex trading. Reason for the stated forecast is the low interest rate will remain because the consumers in the U.S. are under stress from housing, and rising oil prices. This will mean the interest rates will remain low despite the rising inflation.Markets now expect the central bank to hold steady and possibly raise rates by the end of the year after the interest rates cutting to 2 percent from 5.25 percent since September by the Fed. Meanwhile the multi-billionaire Warren Buffett told CNBC in an interview having the same view for the market. © Forex Trading Journal Some right reserved.

    AAA International Travel Forecast, Summer 2008
    2008-05-06 04:20:00
    US travel giant AAA reported Friday that 25.1 million Americans are expected to be traveling internationally this summer, an increase over last summer's 24.5 million despite aweak US dollar; the increase is partially attributed to the fact that more Americans now have passports, thanks to new passport rules for Mexico and Canada travel. Spending by Americans in other countries this summer will increase 5.7 percent to $30.7 billion primarily thanks to the weakness of the US dollar, which creates a poor exchange rate, and inflation.The number of American travelers to China is expected to increase by 13.4 percent (573,000 American travelers) and to India by 13.1 percent (227,000). Visits to France will increase 6.7 percent, and Ireland, Italy and Germany will see small jumps. The largest volume of US international travel will be to Mexico.

    Ford Posts $100 Million Profit, Defying Loss Forecast
    2008-04-24 12:22:51
    April 24 - Ford Motor Co. reported an unexpected first-quarter profit as Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally cut jobs in North America and tripled earnings in Europe, a sign that his turnaround plan may be working. The world's third-largest automaker earned $100 million, or 5 cents a share, compared with a deficit of $282 million, or 15 cents, a year earlier. Analysts had forecast a loss. The shares gained as much as 9.6 percent in New York trading. With more expense reductions about to kick in and Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford stepping up new-vehicle introductions, Mulally may be poised to deliver on his promise to stop losses that totaled $15.3 billion in the last two years. ``In the face of strong headwinds, it looks like the turnaround is taking hold,'' said Mirko Mikelic, senior portfolio manager at Fifth Third Asset Management in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which holds Ford bonds among $22 billion in assets.

    Aussie reaches 24-year high, following higher than forecast CPI. USD recovers following weak Euro data.
    2008-04-24 09:49:31
    CURRENCY TRADING SUMMARYU.S. Dollar Trading (USD) strengthened against the bulk of the majors on Wednesday as poor economic data coming out of the Euro Zone and slightly more dovish comments from ECB officials pushed the greenback higher, causing a flow on effect against other currencies. The U.S dollar gained further ground after Luxembourg’s Finance Minister Jean-Claude Juncker expressed concern over the pace of the greenback’s decline suggesting it wll hurt Euro economic growth. U.S stocks gained on Wednesday following a number of companies bettering expected earnings. This saw the Dow Jones rise by 43 points (0.3%) and the NASDAQ increase 28 points (1.2%). Oil prices remained strong, seeing only marginal gains as a weekly U.S inventory report showed an increase in stock by 2.4 million barrels. As a result, prices only rose US23c a barrel to US$118.30.

    Crisil revises Indian GDP forecast to 8.1% in 2008-09
    2008-04-22 22:11:00
    Rating agency Crisil has revised downwards the Indian GDP growth forecast for FY'09 to 8.1 per cent, from the earlier 8.5 per cent, in view of the high inflationary conditions, interest rate and global growth outlook.However, despite the growth deceleration, Crisil expects inflation to stabilise at an average 5.5 per cent in 2008-09 in a normal monsoon scenario, the agency said here in a release. "Our earlier GDP forecast of 8.5 per cent had assumed a cut in the poli cy interest rate by the central bank in response to the slowing economy. This is now ruled out since current inflation and inflationary expectations are way beyond the RBI's comfort zone of 4.5 to 5 per cent," said the Principal Economist of Crisil Mr Dh armakirti Joshi said.Inflation is expected to remain high in the next few months due to a continuation of global pressures and an unfavourable base effect. However, Crisil expects it to soften towards the end of the year and stabilise at an average of 5.5 per cent in FY'09

    Model: Moving Average Forecast Formulae
    2008-03-31 08:46:27
    This model is used to exclude irregularities in the time series pattern. In order to this, the average of the n last time series values is calculated. The average can always be calculated from n values according to formula (1). Therefore, the new average is calculated from the previous average and the current consumption value weighted with 1/n, minus the oldest consumption value weighted with 1/n.It is only worth using this procedure for time series which are constant, that is, for time series with no trend-like or season-like patterns. As all historical data is equally weighted with the factor 1/n, it takes precisely n periods until the forecast can adapt to a possible level change.Formula for Calculating the Reorder Level Forecast...Formula for Calculating the Safety Stock Forecast ...Formula for Evaluating the ForecastModel: Second-Order Exponential Smoothing Forecast...General Formula for First-Order Exponential Smooth...Model: Constant Forecast FormulaeModel: First-Order Expon

    Model: Weighted Moving Average Forecast Formulae
    2008-03-31 08:46:07
    You achieve better results than those received from the moving average model by introducing weighting factors for each past value. This means that every past value is weighted with the factor R. The sum of the weighting factors is 1 (see formulae (3) and (4) below). If the time series to be forecast contains trend-like variations you will receive better results by using the weighted moving average model rather than the moving average model. The reason for this is that more weight is given to more recent data when determining the average than to older data, that is, if you selected appropriate weighting factors. Therefore, the system will be able to react more quickly to a change in level.This model, however, depends strongly on your choice of weighting factors. If the time series pattern changes, you must also adapt the weighting factors.Formula for Calculating the Reorder Level Forecast...Formula for Calculating the Safety Stock Forecast ...Formula for Evaluating the ForecastModel: S

    Model: Constant Forecast Formulae
    2008-03-31 08:45:13
    From these two points mentioned above, the constant model of exponential smoothing can be derived (see formula (5)). In this case, the formula is used for calculating the basic value. A straight forward derivation produces the basic formula for exponential smoothing (see formula (6)). To determine the forecast value, you only require the preceding forecast value, the last past consumption value and the so-called smoothing factor, alpha. This smoothing factor is responsible for weighting the most recent consumption values more than the past values so that they have a stronger influence on the forecast.How quickly the forecast should react to a change in consumption pattern depends on your choice of smoothing factor. If you select 0 for alpha then the new average will be equal to the old one. In this case, the basic value calculated previously remains, that is, the forecast does not react to current consumption data. If you select 1 for the alpha value, the the new average will equal

    2008-03-31 08:44:35
    If, over several periods, a time series shows a change of the average value which corresponds to the trend model, the forecast values always lag behind the actual values by one or several periods in the first-order exponential smoothing procedure. You can achieve a more efficient adjustment of the forecast to the actual consumption values pattern by using the second-order exponential smoothing procedure.The second-order exponential smoothing model is based on a linear trend and consists of two equations (see formulae (11) below). The first equation corresponds to that of first-order exponential smoothing except for the indices in brackets. In the second equation, the values calculated in the first equation are used in the second equation as initial values and are smoothed again.

    Formula for Calculating the Safety Stock Forecast Formulae
    2008-03-31 08:43:45
    The safety stock depends on the service level that you specified in the MRP II view of the material master record and on the accuracy of the forecast. The more accurate the forecast, the smaller your safety stock can be. The following figure shows that, without safety stock, customer demand can be satisfied by 50%. It also shows that it is almost impossible to satisfy customer demand 100% of the time. Factor R describes the relationship between forecast accuracy and service level (SL).If replenishment lead time is greater than the forecast period by factor W, then the mean absolute deviation (MAD) is recalculated for this period (formula 17). The MAD is a parameter of forecast accuracy. Otherwise, see formula 18.Safety Stock (SS) Formulas If the material is produced in-house, the delivery time is: opening period + in-house production time + goods receipt processing time.

    Experts forecast the tumble in gold futures may be short-lived

    From NewsOK.comGold prices tumbled to a one-month low Thursday, plunging after the dollar gained some muscle against the euro and hedge funds cashed in profits following the metal's record-setting rally above $1,000.Gold had staged a phenomenal run before this week's decline, gaining nearly 20 percent this year as investors snapped up the metal traditionally seen as a haven during economic uncertainty and rising inflation. Gold began losing steam after Tuesday's lower-than-expected Federal Reserve interest rate cut propped up the dollar, sparking a huge commodities sell-off from everything to copper to crude oil to grains. "People are reducing positions. It may be a quarter-end phenomenon, it may be a scaling back for leverage but the bottom line is, people are selling stuff, and gold and commodities are getting slaughtered,” said John Reade, analyst with UBS AG in London.

    Weather forecast - storm battle

    Yesterday it became apparent that we were in for heavy storms and violent winds with gusts between 70 and 80 miles per hour. The worst affected areas would be in the west and south of Britain. I looked at the maps that kept appearing at the end of news items and saw that the line that they had drawn for this bombardment of wind and rain was well in the area where I live. During the night you could hear the rattling of items outside and the sound of heavy rainfall but to my relief in the morning it had quelled quite a lot. However, we were more fortunate than some. In parts of Wales in coastal areas the wind and waves were very violent. There has been flooding in some areas, power lines are down in a few districts and there are currently warnings advising people not to take to the roads. There is more bad weather due later on.

    U.S. Economy Grew Less Than Forecast Last Quarter
    2008-02-28 09:23:00
    The U.S. economy grew less than forecast in the fourth quarter, relying on exports as consumer spending slowed and the slump in homebuilding deepened. Gross domestic product rose at a 0.6 percent annualized rate, unchanged from the initial estimate last month, after a 4.9 percent gain in the third quarter, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. The median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of economists was for a 0.8 percent increase. Excluding exports and imports, domestic spending contracted, a change from the first estimate, the department said. Combined with figures today showing claims for unemployment insurance jumped last week, the report reinforced traders' expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates again next month. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke yesterday signaled he's ready to lower interest rates again to sustain the expansion. Traders see a 100 percent chance of a half-point reduction to 2.5 percent by the

    Fed cuts growth forecast and warns of downside risks
    2008-02-20 20:54:00
    The Federal Reserve on Wednesday sharply lowered its forecast for economic growth in 2008 and said it was worried the economy could face further setbacks even after a series of aggressive interest rate cuts. "With no signs of stabilization in the housing sector and with financial conditions not yet stabilized, the committee agreed that downside risks to growth would remain even after this action," the Fed said in minutes of its January 29-30 meeting, when it cut rates by a half-percentage point. The reduction brought benchmark rates to 3 percent, and followed a bold three-quarter percentage point emergency rate cut at an unscheduled meeting of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee just eight days before. The January rate-cutting spree was the most abrupt reduction in borrowing costs since the early 1980s. Minutes of the end-of-month meeting and two conference calls earlier in January showed policy-makers' mounting anxiety that financial market strains could

    Economist's forecast sees Denver housing turnaround
    2008-01-19 00:31:00
    The only thing that is holding back the Denver-area housing market is "irrational pessimism" from prospective buyers. That insight comes from Lawrence Yun, chief economist and senior vice president of real estate for the National Association of Realtors.

    Legislative Forecast for 2008, by US Rep. Ron Paul
    2008-01-13 00:00:00
    Congress is re-convening this coming week and I would like to take this opportunity to give my legislative forecast for the coming year. Here are a few things we can expect to see from Washington . First and foremost, we will see ramped up spending for the warfare/welfare state. There is no resolution or end in sight on the Iraq occupation. While the American people try repeatedly to communicate to Washington that enough is enough, there still remains little political will in Washington to bring the troops home. The war will continue to require mountains of taxpayer and newly printed dollars, and our economy will sink under the burden. If we are manipulated into a second war, the effects on our economy will be truly devastating. Welfare and entitlement programs will also be ramped up as the economy flounders and budgets in American households are strained. read more

    Forecast for Europe airfares in 2008
    2008-01-03 02:41:00
    If you're planning a trip to Europe this year, you're probably wondering when you should book. Every month, we receive reader questions asking how far in advance is too far, if last-minute fares are likely to be available, and which destinations are cheapest.Book as far in advance as possible if you'll be traveling in summer, advises Erin Krause, a spokeswoman for Expedia. "Prices ... continually increase as the summer months approach," Krause says. If you're traveling in late fall, early spring, or winter, however, the booking window can be shorter as there isn't quite as much competition for fares.

    Fearless Forecast: UEFA Champions League Round Of 16
    2007-12-22 10:01:00
    It's time for the first-ever Soccer Source Fearless Forecast, as we zero in on the just-drawn UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match-ups. Our main guide will be the Top 25 ranking of soccer clubs, a season-long work-in-progress that attempts to gauge the standings of the best club teams in the world. The assumption here is that the Top 25 ranking--due to its superior use of data-mining and keen insight--is roughly accurate and as such a reliable prognosticator. A flawed assumption? You bet, but so too are all forecasts as well as all assumptions (remember that when you ASSume you make an ass out of you and me). Onward:Schalke (ranked 23 at time of this writing) vs. Porto (6)The German side just made their debut on the list, and to much contention at that. Readers made some excellent points as to why the Gelsenkircheners don't belong. Their issues will be addressed in Monday's Top 25 but for now the point is that Schalke look far inferior to their Portuguese opponents. Forecast: Porto takes it without problems.Roma (8) vs. Real Madrid (2)This one looks a bit closer to call. Real have spent most of the season in the top 5 but Roma have played well and are second in Serie A behind mighty Inter. Potentially the most entertaining match-up as Roma play an energetic, attacking (and I might add, un-Italian) style and Real have quite a bit of their own firepower (to put it mildly). This one will be fun. Who will win? Probably Real, but like I said the margin for error is not very wide at all.Olympiakos (9) vs. Chelsea (7)Another match-up featuring top 10 teams. As far as I can tell, this one hinges on who Chelsea have at their disposal when the sides meet Feb. 19. Drogba? Essien? Terry? If the answers are yes, yes and yes, then figure Chelsea to advance. But Olympiakos are tough and have shown they can play with anybody--even a fully-staffed Chelsea side. Forecast: Too close to call right now.Liverpool (14) vs. Inter Milan (1)Rafa Benitez' team (if it will in fact still

    2007-11-22 09:59:00
    It's a wonderful Thanksgiving day, as I sit in front of my computer getting ready for an action packed day of football. Here are my predictions for the upcoming games.Detroit Lions v. Green Bay PackersFor once it seems as if the 6-4 Lions are going to play a relevant game on Thanksgiving. A Packer victory would likely clinch a division title as the Cheesheads would then increase their division lead to four games ahead of the Lions. However, a Lion victory would place Detroit two games behind the Packers with an NFC North title within their grasp. With the division title at stake the question arises: which Lions team will show up? Will the team that beat Chicago (twice) show up to play or the one that was embarrassed on the road against the Eagles. Since it's Thanksgiving, look for the Lions to come out firing on all cylinders. Jon Kitna, Calvin Johnson, and Roy Williams, should have some success against the Packers' inconsistent safeties. However, I think Brett Favre will be able to

    Saturday Forecast: Week 12
    2007-11-15 18:29:00
    Nevada v. (13) HawaiiThere are plenty of people out there who are picking the Wolfpack to finally end Hawaii's unbeaten streak. Las Vegas is also a little skeptical of the Warriors, as they peg them just seven point favorites. One of the major concerns for the Warriors is the health of their Heisman Trophy candidate Colt Brennan, who suffered a minor concussion against Fresno State last Saturday. While Brennan has been cleared to play, it is still questionable whether he can perform at his usually high level. Even if Brennan struggles, his backup Tyler Graunke is more than capable of filling in. In limited action over the past three season, the senior has completed 60.8 percent of his passes (104-for-171) for 1,541 yards, 13 TDs and six interceptions.While Hawaii certainly has its fair share of question marks, Nevada may have even more, especially on the defensive side. So far this season, the Wolfpack have given up on average 36.7 points and 417.4 yards a game, which are 110th and 86

    (12) USC v. (24) CaliforniaThis game has lost a lot of luster as both USC and Cal have struggled at times this season. Fortunately, for for the viewers' sake, id the fact that both teams are coming off good wins last weekend and appear to relatively healthy. While Cal's offense was hailed as the Pac Ten's best in September, Nate Longshore and company have struggled over the past four weeks. Against Arizona State, they were shut out in the second half, and against UCLA they were held to just twenty-two points. USC's defense appears to be much improved as they sacked Oregon State quarterback ten times last week. For the first time all season, defensive coordinator Nick Holt had the Trojans play man to man defense instead of the cover two and it led to just three points for the Beavers. If USC's defense plays as well as it did last week, they should have no trouble against the Bears. USC 26-13(1) Ohio State v.

Much thanks to ESPN because now, viewers nationwide will be in for a treat as two of the nation's top teams are coming off huge wins and will square off in Eugene. While there is plenty reason for excitement, Sun Devil fans may want to be a little nervous for this one. For one, Arizona State quarterback Rudy Carpenter is questionable with a thumb injury (ask John David Booty about thumb injuries). Carpenter has been the leader of the Arizona State offense and if he is unable to play at his usual high level than the Sun Devils won't be able to mount their usual come from behind victory. Also, the game is being played in Autzen Stadium which is a major disadvantage for the Devils, as they have played in just two road games this year. The big game atmosphere will be too much for the Sun Devils. Oregon 34-21(1) Ohio State v. WisconsinWill

    Sept. 25 (Bloomberg) The Italian government cut its forecast for economic growth next year and said increased public spending will contribute to a higher debt than previously predicted. The $1.8 trillion economy will expand between 1.3 percent and 1.6 percent next year, less than July's outlook of 1.9 percent, Finance Minister Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa said during a parliamentary hearing in Rome today. Italy's debt will rise to 103.5 percent of gross domestic product next year, up from a previous forecast of 103.2 percent. The government predicts debt of 105.1 percent this year, the highest in the European Union.

    Dollar Little Changed on Falling Prices, Less-Than-Forecast Housing Starts

    By Min Zeng Sept. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar was little changed versus the yen and euro after government reports showed housing starts in the U.S. were less than forecast and consumer prices declined last month. Housing starts decreased to an annual rate of 1.331 million during August, compared with a revised 1.367 million in the prior month. A Bloomberg News survey of 77 economists called for 1.35 million. Building permits, a sign of future construction, reached a 1.307 million annual pace, compared with a revised 1.389 million during July. A Bloomberg survey called for 1.348 million. Consumer prices fell 0.1 percent during August, compared with a 0.1 percent increase in July, and a Bloomberg survey that called for no change.

    U.S. Producer Price Index Drops More Than Forecast
    2007-09-18 15:46:28
    By Courtney Schlisserman Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Prices paid to U.S. producers fell more than forecast in August, diminishing concern over inflation as the Federal Reserve considers lowering interest rates. The 1.4 percent decrease, the biggest since October, followed a 0.6 percent increase in July, the Labor Department said today in Washington. So-called core prices, which exclude fuel and food costs, rose 0.2 percent after a 0.1 percent gain the month before. Slower inflation gives policy makers more room to reduce their benchmark rate later today in an effort to sustain the expansion in the face of a housing recession. A drop in fuel expenses pushed prices down in August and slacker economic growth will continue to restrain raw-material costs in coming months, economists said. The Fed ``can point to reasonably good news on inflation,'' said Peter Kretzmer, a senior economist at Banc of A

    "All leading climate models forecast that as the atmosphere warms there should be an increase in high- altitude cirrus clouds, which would amplify any warming caused by manmade greenhouse gases," Spencer says in a press release. "That amplification is a positive feedback. What we found in month-to-month fluctuations of the tropical climate system was a strongly negative feedback. As the tropical atmosphere warms, cirrus clouds decrease. That allows more infrared heat to escape from the atmosphere to outer space."

    Weather Forecast: Breezy In Montreal Next Season
    2007-07-29 09:21:05
    Patrice BriseboisFinally, some actual Avalanche-related news. It seems the long-standing give-and-take relationship between the Montreal Canadiens and the Colorado Avalanche (see: Patrick Roy, Jose Theodore, David Aebischer, Jocelyn Thibault, Mike Keane, Martin Rucinsky, etc...) has been renewed, kind of. The Habs have offered defenseman Patrice Brisebois a one-year, $700,000 contract to rejoin the team he won the Cup with back in 1993.  Avalanche management had made it pretty clear that he wasn't going to get another offer from them after spending most of last season sidelined with a back injury.  Well, sidelined from hockey.  He found another hobby to keep himself occupied while still drawing a nice NHL paycheck. I can't say too much about Breezer's stay with the Avs since he didn't do too much while he was in Colorado---he only played one full season and his performance was so-so.  He's more or less at the end of his career anyway, and will likely not pla

    Best Buyers Market Forecast Next 12 Months
    2007-06-28 18:16:51
    The best time to buy property in many of the nation’s housing markets will be over the next 12 months, Housing Predictor forecasts. Markets in many areas of the nation are bottoming out or have already bottomed out and hold surplus inventories of homes, condos and townhouses causing downward pressure on pricing levels. Historically real estate markets throughout the nation experience seven to ten year cycles. It commonly takes two years for markets to stabilize after a period of great appreciation, and the majority of housing markets have now completed that period of time. The next 12 months provide the window to obtain the lowest prices possible, according to the Housing Predictor analysis. The national real estate slow down is not forecast to worsen or last longer than through mid- 2008. The Worst 25 Housing Markets listed by Housing Predictor provide some of the best markets for deals in real estate nationwide. Forecasts for more than 250 markets are provided in all 50 states.

    energy stocks: Hedge Funds Forecast Windfall in Europe's Growing Power Market
    2007-06-15 10:44:00
    Hedge fund manager Marcel Melis ignores stock charts, commodities reports and bond prices as he sips his morning coffee. All his attention is focused on one thing: the weather. Melis analyzes forecasts for areas from the snowcapped mountains of Norway to the beaches of Spain's Costa del Sol to predict changes in demand for power and gas. The founder of Energy Capital Management BV, which has raised $60 million and started trading in October, targets returns of 25 to 30 percent. ``If you don't know what the weather is doing you have no chance making money trading energy,'' Melis, 38, says in his ninth-floor office overlooking Amsterdam's biggest power plant.

    Testing the Sales Forecast
    2007-05-27 15:02:30
    Often times when we look back on past projections, we find that the sales targets were not hit and the revenue fell short. When I talked with the president all seemed fine. A number of accounts were in the pipeline and things were moving along smoothly. It was looking good for sales growth during that particular year. But, when we come back a year later, the optimism did not always translate into top line growth of that magnitude. So, what went wrong? What can be done to have a better perspective going forward? A way it can be done is to build up a history. I had another client that would do this. They would build up a history of the sales forecast and track how each sales person did against their particular forecast. They would know who would most likely hit the forecast and who was likely to come up short. If one person would constantly come up at about 75%, then they would know to start discounting their projections and really challenge them to come up with a more realistic number.
