Looks like Snow is on the tape commenting on the $...not particularly concerned about the decline

 

Futures took a hit simultaneously

Here is what according to Bloomberg:

 

Tokyo, March 5 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar fell to its lowest level in almost four years against the euro after U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow said he was ``not particularly concerned'' about the currency, which has dropped 20 percent in the past year against its European counterpart.

 

The dollar fell to $1.0964 against the euro at 8:06 a.m., from $1.0925 late yesterday in New York, after reaching $1.0969, its weakest level since March 19, 1999. The dollar also fell against the yen, to 117.28 from 117.65.

 

Speaking to reporters following a hearing before the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee, Snow said, ``the dollar is going to rise and fall.'' The Treasury secretary last month reiterated the U.S.'s support for a strong dollar.

 

Snow's comments show ``that the U.S. is moving away from a strong dollar policy,'' said Paul McNee, chief currency trader at Australia and New Zealand Banking Corp. in Melbourne. ``This is as concrete an example of that as possible.'' The dollar's fall to $1.10 against the euro ``is a foregone conclusion. It should happen today.''

I'm tellin ya gang-not only the U.S. but world mkts. are configured to crash!

 

Did the release of the Buffett statement

finally, finally, finally, finally, finally, finally, FOCUS the world's attention--[in a straw that breaks the camel's back way]--I say, did it FOCUS attention on Doug Nolandian/ Credit bubble considerations???--will Buffetts remarks about a derivative mega-catstrophe serve as the one card withdrawn that collapses the house?--will the "700 Story JPM derivative tower"-(Marky)-begin to fall apart?--most likely NOT but his remarks could cast an even blacker pall and precipitate a mini-slo-mo crash on world bourses. The U.S. mkt should have rallied the past few days but it didn't-this looks ominous. Perhaps the inevitable must happen!!-- I would not be happy about that-(and I want you to know I'm sincere..."in the worst way").

About that $15 billion or $30 billion package to Turkey which is up in the air ... Turkey is already into the IMF for billions. $12 billion if I recall. Turkey is probably the 3rd biggest IMF borrower, after Brazil and Argentina.

 

The plan was that Turkey would get $15 billion from the U.S. to pay off its IMF loan. Now if that $15 billion doesn't come through, Turkey will default on its IMF loan, just as Argentina did last year. And the fiction that the IMF is a triple-A credit will be gone with the wind. The IMF is tied to the tracks, watching the oncoming freight train.

 

This is the end of an era, in many ways. The post-WW II politico-economic arrangements -- the dollar exchange standard; the IMF; NATO -- all of these are teetering and may collapse.

 

No one is in charge of the system, and the political well has been poisoned to the extent that U.S. leadership may not be accepted anymore. If you want a recipe for chaos, this is it.
