(Reuters) - The dollar is at its most oversold level in over 40 years, investment bank Morgan Stanley said on Friday, adding it had now shifted from its dollar-bearish stance and turned “tactically neutral” on the U.S. currency.The bank has exited its short position on the dollar index =USD .DXY which measures its value against a basket of currencies, while also closing long positions on the euro and Australian dollar versus the greenback.It added moreover that risks appeared to be building for the equity rally, following improving company earnings and investment inflows in the past fortnight.A sentiment gauge called the Combined Market Timing Indicator was now giving a ‘sell’ signal for the first time since January 2018, Morgan Stanley said.“With global markets appearing tactically stretched a sell signal on our MTI (market timing indicator) would certainly add to the notion that upside on markets may be capped near term,” it told clients in a note.Reporting by Sujata Rao; editing by Thyagaraju Adinarayan
Dollar most oversold in 40 years, says Morgan Stanley; exits short position

No sé si conocen ustedes la "Dollar Milkshake Theory" promovida por Brent Johnson. Básicamente, argumenta que, antes o después, se producirá una escasez grave de dólares circulando en el sistema euro-dólar que llevará a una revalorización excesiva del greenback, lo que provocará un shock mundial. Brent Johnson suele decir que sí, que el dólar caerá y perderá su estatus de moneda de reserva mundial, pero que antes de su caída arrastrará al resto del mundo. Una moneda no pierde su estatus de la noche a la mañana (overnight ); es un proceso lento que suele requerir al menos una década dese que da las primeras señales, pero se está acelerando todo de forma preocupante.

USA está replegándose y con ello su área de influencia. Con más países aceptando préstamos en el mercado internacional en monedas no USD y la FED imprimiendo como si el papel y la tinta fueran gratis, no veo venir esta escasez. Si acaso una devaluación que podría llevar a los prestatarios a querer operar en otras divisas más fuertes.La teoría sería correcto si el USD fuera la única moneda/contrapartida aceptada globalmente pero hoy día hay más opciones.Seguro que me dejo algo en el tintero que cambia planteamiento completamente pero ahora mismo no lo veo. ¿Alguien que me eche una mano?
No existe moneda contrapartida. Sólo existiría después de un nuevo Bretton Woods. No es nada sencillo.
US reimposes tariffs on Canadian aluminumAs of Aug. 16, US imports of non-alloyed unwrought aluminum will again be subject to a tariff of 10%, according to the proclamation.The Trump administration placed 10% tariffs on primary aluminum imports, along with 25% tariffs on steel imports, in 2018, under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. Canada and Mexico were granted exemptions from the tariffs in 2019 amid negotiations for the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.“Several months ago my administration agreed to lift those tariffs in return for a promise from the Canadian government that its aluminum industry would not flood our country with exports and kill all of our aluminum jobs, which is exactly what they did,” Trump said, speaking at an event held at a Whirlpool manufacturing plant in Clyde, Ohio. “Canadian aluminum producers have broken that commitment and the US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer has advised me that this step to reimpose tariffs is absolutely necessary to defend our aluminum industry.”According to the proclamation, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross advised Trump that imports of non-alloyed unwrought aluminum from Canada, which accounted for 59% of total aluminum imports from Canada during June 2019 through May 2020, increased substantially in the 12 months following the US’ decision to exclude Canada from the tariffs.“Imports of non-alloyed unwrought aluminum from Canada during June 2019 through May 2020 increased 87% compared to the prior 12-month period and exceeded the volume of any full calendar year in the previous decade,” the proclamation states. “Moreover, imports of these articles from Canada continue to increase, reaching in June of this year the highest level of any month since I decided to adjust imports of aluminum articles.”Canada is the largest exporter of non-alloyed unwrought aluminum to the US, accounting tor nearly two-thirds of total imports of these articles from all countries in 2019 and about 75% of total imports in the first five months of 2020, according to the proclamation.“The surge in imports of these articles from Canada coincides with a decrease in imports of these articles from other countries and threatens to harm domestic aluminum production and capacity utilization,” the proclamation states.As part of the USMCA agreement and a condition of dropping the metals tariffs, the US, Canada and Mexico agreed to collaborate more closely on import monitoring.
Washington pulls 700 US marines out of NorwayNorwegian troops will have to fill the gaps as the powerful American force slashes its presence in the country.The US Marines has been permanently stationed in Norway on a rotational basis since 2017. That arrangement now comes to an end, the Norwegian Armed Forces informs.From late fall this year, the Americans will pull out and visit Norway only in connection with exercises.It is a major shift in US security relations with Norway, that inevitably will affect the military situation in the region.Up to 700 marines today serve in Norway, many of them in the northern parts of the country. The force has rotated on a 6-month basis.From late fall this year, only about 20 US marines will be left in Norway.(...) Rejoice in MoscowThe reduced permanent presence of U.S forces in Norway will be warmly welcomed in Moscow, where the authorities repeatedly have criticized Norway for its close cooperation with the American marines.On a number of occasions, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his deputies have lashed out against Oslo with accusations that it breaks with its traditional base policy according to which foreign troops are not to be permanently stationed in the country.As late as early June this year, Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Titov in an interview underlined that Norway’s military buildup in the North “undermines peace, stability and the atmosphere of trust in the region.”

Quería decir que los préstamos en el mercado internacional son mayoritariamente en USD, pero que hay alternativas. Si una empresa española vende en USD a una de Oriente Medio y prevee una depreciación del USD, lo normal es que quiera que la transacción se haga en EUR.Al existir alternativas en el mercado internacional y no haber un portaaviones USA aparcado en la bahía "recordándoles" a los terceros países que hay que comerciar en USD, ¿por qué iba a haber escasez de USD?
La compraventa de viviendas cae el 34,3% en junio y suma cuatro meses a la bajaEl Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) ha informado de este retroceso de tasas interanuales negativas en el sector, marcado por la crisis sanitaria del coronavirus
Sobre la cuestión del Rey Juan Carlos I creo que la Izquierda Republicana tiene la cosa perdida porque, con las prisas, no ha tenido en cuenta la psicología profunda de los españoles que, a veces sin darnos cuenta, admiramos lo campechano y lo torero. Aunque en ocasiones resulte esperpéntico, como en momentos concretos ha sido en este caso, forma parte del acervo más hondo de nuestro inconsciente colectivo.
UK says it's confident of Brexit trade deal as EU changing toneBritain’s top minister overseeing Brexit talks said on Friday he was confident a free trade deal would be clinched with the European Union as there had been a distinct change of tone from the bloc in recent weeks allowing progress to be made.(...) “I’m confident that there will be a deal, I think there has been a welcome change in tone over the last few weeks,” Michael Gove told reporters in Portadown in the British province of Northern Ireland.“The omens are good for a deal. Now of course there is some tough talking to do,” Gove said. “I believe that there will be a successful negotiated outcome.” (...) The EU is willing to compromise by softening its demand that Britain heed the bloc’s rules on state aid in the future, diplomatic sources told Reuters earlier this month.They said Brussels could go for a compromise entailing a dispute-settling mechanism on any state aid granted by the UK to its companies in the future, rather than obliging London to follow the bloc’s own fair-competition rules from the outset.“The relationship that we have with the European Union is constructive, pragmatic and impressive,” Gove said, adding that he thought a deal could be done though there was more work to do.Britain and the EU have planned more trade negotiations all the way until Oct. 2, less than a fortnight before a summit where the bloc hopes to endorse any agreement with London.
