So, apparently, according to Jon Hilsenrath, “QE to Infinity” is actually “finite” after all. With Ben Bernanke set to “exit stage left” in 2014 the question of who replaces him at the helm of the massive USS “Federal Reserve” will be important as to the future of the current course of monetary policy. One of the top contenders for that job is Janet Yellen. [...]
Flight delays at large airports in the U.S. in April were a disaster that could have been avoided. They are an example of government failure that resulted from furloughing air traffic controllers at both large and small airports, even though their productivity was higher at large airports.

Like China in the 1980s, Myanmar is moving toward “special economic zones.” After almost half a century of isolation, it could emerge as Asia’s next tiger – with right policies.

Lars Christensen nails it on the confusion surrounding Abenomics: There has been a lot of focus on the fact that USD/JPY has now broken above 100 and that the slide in the yen is going to have a positive impact on Japanese exports. In fact it seems like most commentators and economists think that the easing of [...]
The economic recovery, to the surprise of nearly everyone, has been consumer-driven. This has occurred despite increased savings and an overall improvement in household balance sheets. Businesses have been cautious to invest and to hire. State and local governments have been slashing spending and employees. I expect a week with a consumer focus. It starts [...]
The US dollar is consolidating the gains seen at the end of last week. The greenback briefly pushed through the JPY102 level in Tokyo, but this was not sustained. Meanwhile, the global equities are mostly lower, though the Nikkei tacked on another 1.2% to reach a new 5.5 year high. Softer Chinese data may have [...]
