		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few weeks the Euro has formed a triple bottom at 1.3450 against the Dollar (the lows were on 19 Feb, 25 Feb and 2 Mar 2010).  Triple bottoms are rare in markets because most times a market prints a bottom, bounces off that bottom the first time it is tested but breaks through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[UK politicians have started the new year with their eyes firmly focused on the upcoming General Election, which will most probably be held in May.  This week&#8217;s Hoon-Hewitt challenge on Gordon Brown&#8217;s leadership has only served to increase the uncertainty surrounding the result of the General Election. Markets hate nothing more than uncertainty and although the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do the last three weeks of US Dollar strength represent the start of a bigger upswing in the fortunes of the Dollar? We have just seen the Dollar close higher for three consecutive weeks, as measured by the Dollar Index. This hasn&#8217;t happened since the Dollar topped out in March 2009 (as global stockmarkets simultaneously bottomed).  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Bank of England continues to do its best to debase Sterling by printing as much money as possible without scaring the gilts market.  The only reason Sterling hasn&#8217;t collapsed against other currencies is that the other major central banks are all involved in various forms of printing money (quantitative easing) themselves.  Sterling is however [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recession can be viewed as too little demand for goods &#38; services (nominal GDP). One way for a country to bring itself out of recession is to depreciate its currency (which effectively moves GDP, via exports, to the country in recession from other countries, boosting the former&#8217;s GDP). However the problem with the current global [...]]]></description>
