AlohaTime Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 sounds like the Yuan will RV as well... RV Link SEOUL: In the face of a currency war between US and China, global leaders including PM Manmohan Singh on Friday agreed to refrain from "competitive devaluation" and bring in exchange rate flexibility to ensure that no country gets undue advantage. "We will move towards more market determined exchange rate system and enhance exchange rate flexibility to reflect underlying economic fundamentals and refrain from competitive devaluation of currencies. Advanced economies including those with reserve currencies will be vigilant against excess volatility and disorderly movement in exchange rates," G-20 leaders declared at the end of their two-day Summit here, in the backdrop of the US demanding that Chinese currency Yuan should be appreciated to check the Asian giant from taking advantage in international trade. These measures, the leaders said, would help mitigate the risk of excessive volatility in capital flows facing some emerging market economies. "We must at all costs avoid competitive devaluation and resist any resurgence of protectionism," Singh said at the summit. Singh had earlier called for an end to competitive devaluation of currencies, even as Indian officials back home said that the country was capable of absorbing robust capital inflows of up to $75 billion. The Seoul Action Plan, agreed at the end of the two-day Summit of G20 leaders, called for moving towards more market-determined exchange rates. An undervalued Yuan or a weak Dollar also has ramifications for India and several other countries in terms of their exports becoming uncompetitive. To address the concerns of several emerging economies like India, facing flush of funds in their stock markets, the declaration agrees to strengthen global financial safety nets.It has also asked the advanced economies, including those with reserve currencies, to be "vigilant against excessive volatility and disorderly movements in exchange rates." The declaration said these steps will help mitigate the risk of excessive volatility in capital flows that is faced by some emerging countries. India, for instance, has seen rush of inflows from foreign institutional investors to the extent of $38 billion from January to November 11, this year. In his plenary speech, PM Manmohan Singh said that the countries with currency reserves "have a special responsibility to ensure that their monetary policies do not lead to destabilising capital flows, which can put pressure on emerging markets." The country's exporters are already starting to feel the pinch of rupee appreciation on account of FII inflows. The rupee value has risen by over 5% since January, reducing the net realisation for exporters. Singh, however, said there is a strong case for supporting long term capital flows to the developing countries especially in infrastructure. India's concerns on fiscal consolidation in the advanced countries running big deficits got reflected in the declaration. "Advanced economies will formulate and implement clear, credible, ambitious and growth friendly medium term fiscal consolidation plans...," the declaration said. India's worries on protectionism were also found a mention in the Seoul Action Plan.

ReachingHigher Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Hey Aloha, You live in Hawaii - Do you know of Bethany Hamilton? Awesome female surfer - she will be a part of the cast of a documentary film I am producing. She is AWESOME. And you're right - getting pounded is part of the fun! I grew up in Santa Cruz - better waves back in the day than there are today. Peace! Here's a link to more about her. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethany_Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captjohn Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 maybe I should pick up some Yuan thne too If the pressure is on the Yuan to increase, look at the Viet Dong. It is said that it will be tied to an appreciation of the Yuan and would offer far more leverage opportunity per dollar invested. JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I better off just buying physical currency or does FOREX trading have its place? In your opinion? Thx Lana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
