Global: Growth is bound to slow – but by how much?-Danske Bank
http://bit.ly/93bK2S
Danske Bank Research paper
"Conclusion: Rising risks, but too early to call for a double-dip
While downside risks have increased and growth is bound to slow, we believe it is too
early to call for a double-dip in which growth gets stuck below trend growth. Our current
forecasts, however, are based on the expectation that job gains pick up soon and equity
and credit markets stabilise and recover. Should these factors fail to come through in the
coming months we will have to re-evaluate the outlook."

Technology and the farm.
Just read a very interesting post from Pat Hill DTN Markets editor.
Wheat is finally going to go bio tech. In a joint venture between Monsanto and BASF.
When the seeds are available the ramifications are enormous.
The world of commodities is an interesting and exciting world-and more than just price action. When the seeds finally make it out into the field acreage allotments change, production changes consumption changes, price changes. More people get to eat.
In the meantime there still is the wheat market and you can still trade it with a CFD . click AVAFX banner for details. Imagine the trades with wheat and other commodities and the US dollar.

What is ESPO
A lighter crude containing less sulfur than a typical Middle East crude named for the pipeline East Siberia Pacific Ocean or ESPO.
Market changes as a result of the pipeline include Russia looking East for crude oil sales rather than West to Europe. Some reported substitution in Japan of ESPO over Oman from Middle East, sales to West Coast of North America in competition with Alaskan crude. This crude could become very popular as the basis is already tightening.

Blizzard of congressional spill responses keeps lobbyists busy
The House Transportation and Infrastructure did the same a day later, and added amendments extending the 1920 Jones Act requiring US flagging of vessels in US waters to offshore drilling rigs this means union.
As would be expected from the crowd in power in Washington they are using the GOM situation as an open season on their favorite villain, the oil & gas industry. The lefties will be smart asses and America will all pay for the politicians greedy need to advance their agenda without regard to long term effects on the growth of the country, as long as they jump for their self centered "activist" paymasters. That's my take at least.

President of Nigeria now says the football team can play football. Apparently he told them they couldn't play anymore because they didn't meet his expectation in World Cup While your contemplating his irrationality remember Hugo the hump from Venezuela. Add in the guy from Zimbabwe now ask yourself is it really the rest of the world's fault that these guys are nincompoops?
It really is the rest of the world's fault for coddling these fools through multi national organizations and NGO's.
Better yet why do we have to consult with them? If they had the answers their countries wouldn't be the shambles they are. Worse yet it's the political elite of these unfortunate countries that get the zippy posts at the U.N. and other supranational bodies and start lecturing the world.
Political risk is all around and it's not limited to energy. Take a look at sugar. #11. So many stories Brazil, India, ethanol,consumer preference (sugar vs. corn syrup) trade policy.
