Forward metal prices may lead to false conclusions
Pratima Desai Reuters for Commodities Now
"Metal producers should steer clear of using forward prices to assess potential profitability of new projects or for budgeting purposes as this could lead to misleading conclusions. Instead they could look at long-term price forecasts or use consultants. However, there are times when a producer without in-house research or unable to pay consultants, has little choice. In this case results should carry a health warning. The debate has heated up again because industrial metal prices in recent weeks have rallied. "

Hu Xiaolian: Three characteristics of the managed floating exchange rate regime
BIS
Article by Ms Hu Xiaolian, Deputy Governor of the People’s Bank of China, Beijing,
22 July 2010.
"The content of the managed floating exchange rate regime includes three aspects. First, the
floating of exchange rate is based on market supply and demand so that the exchange rate
plays a role as a price signal. Second, the range of floating adjustment is based on trade and
current account balances to reflect the “managed floating” nature.
Third, the exchange rate is
determined with reference to a basket of currencies, rather than the bilateral exchange rate
between RMB and any single currency."

Chinese Yuan vs. the US demand
Ebeling Heffernan Live Trading News
"The conventional wisdom is that once the value of the Chinese Yuan is increased, the USA’s trade deficit with China would start falling. This reasoning has prompted many Americans to push for further, faster revaluation of the Yuan even after China changed its currency policy."
