    Oil and Commodities Relief to Come, Policies Shifting to Growth Issues
    2008-08-20 08:39:00
    Oil has come off its July record and other commodities fallen back, suggesting that if this is sustained then relief should eventually be seen on the inflation front, leaving Central Bank's clearer skies to deal growth issues.While the focus has been on the sharp retracement oil prices - over USD 35 off the highs above USD 147 in late July - metals have also been wilting under the pressure from downward revisions to global growth and Dollar strength leading to the unwinding of commodity hedges, while gold has plummeted to the lowest levels since November. While in historical terms, commodity prices remain elevated, the combo of these broad developments reinforces the general perception that there is a more general bear market setting.The demand side has been driving the sell-off, although in some instances increasing supply has played a role. Consistent evidence has emerged from the US of falling oil product demand allied to refiners reluctant to buy crudes at such elevated prices with...

    By MATTHEW L. WALD TULSA, Okla. — When American Airlines grounded 3,000 flights last week and stranded hundreds of thousands of passengers, the company’s chief executive apologized by saying he took “personal responsibility” for the safety-compliance problems. But now the airline, which faces the prospect of more groundings in coming weeks as the Federal Aviation Administration broadens [...]...

    Euro Analysis: ECB still some way from shifting to easing mode
    2008-03-03 04:24:00
    Although there are clear signs that some of the ECB rate setters are shifting to a more neutral, if not exactly dovish stance, the anti-inflation stalwarts like Weber and Stark seem far from ready to abandon the tightening bias. Indeed, Weber sounded even more hawkish earlier today with a warning that markets are too benign in terms of the outlook for inflation based on current rate expectations (ie a cut later in the year). He not only questioned whether HICP would return to sub-2% price stability ceiling levels at all this year, but also said the staff projections made in Dec underestimates the outlook for 2009. This is widely expected to be addressed this week when updated forecasts are published in conjunction with the Mar 6 policy meeting, while in contrast GDP estimates are seen lower again.Hence, the dilemma facing the ECB and many other CBs like the Fed and UK's BoE, which have both already embarked along the easing path despite fears that lower US and UK rates may stoke inflat...

    Paradigm shifting
    2007-12-07 01:26:58
    NARCAP has made the case that some of these phenomena have unusual electromagnetic properties. Therefore, they could disrupt microprocessors and adversely effect avionic systems, Roe explained, and that for those reasons and others UAP should be considered a hazard to safe aviation."It is likely that either conclusion will fly in the face of the general assertion that UAP are not real and that there are no undocumented phenomena in our atmosphere," Roe continued. That should open the door, he said, to the realization that there's no good reason to discard outright the possibility that extraterrestrial visitation has occurred and may be occurring."Physics is leading to new and potentially paradigm shifting understandings about the nature of our universe and its physical properties," Roe said. "These understandings may point the way towards an acceptance of the probability of interstellar travel and communication by spacefaring races."...

    You can’t build homes on shifting ground.

    Guess it’s time to cover the second biggest subject on people’s minds. The border agents should be armed with long-range stun guns, and if they aren’t able to reach the illegals throwing the rocks at them, they should be issued rubber bullets that would reach the rock-throwing rabble. I don’t think this country [...]...
