Fed should raise rates in 2013, Bullard says
(Reuters) - The Federal Reserve should start raising interest rates next year, a top Fed official said on Monday, arguing that even if rates stay near zero for many years, U.S. economic output will not bounce back to pre-recession levels.
Last month the Fed said it was likely to keep interest rates exceptionally low through late 2014 to bolster a recovery that was moving too slowly.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said he disagreed with that decision, arguing that the housing collapse ...

Greek uncertainty undermines euro, dollar firm
(Reuters) - The euro fell on Monday on mounting investor concern that Greek coalition parties had yet to sign off on the terms of a new bailout, keeping alive the risk of a messy default that could ensnare other countries such as Portugal.
Greece's coalition members must agree to painful terms of a new bailout worth 130 billion euros before euro zone finance ministers next meet, with a Greek government official denying that there was a deadline for the parties to respond to.

Focus of Greek response
FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK at 0800 GMT (EDT +0400)
USD
The euro suffered overnight as fears over the situation in Greece have resurfaced. While the market is hoping for a clinching of a debt swap deal today with private sector creditors, securing cross-party support for further austerity measures and securing further funding from the troika is proving far more difficult. According to political leaders in Athens, the main parties have until noon today (local time) to respond to the troika’s demands, ...

Off to a Good Start for the Year
The employment report for January showed that 243,000 jobs were added with the unemployment rate declining slightly to 8.3 percent. The details of the report however, suggest that unseasonably warm weather may be playing a role in the stronger job gains.
The ISM-Manufacturing Index posted a marginal improvement in January as new orders jumped for the month. Export orders also posted a ...

Buying Gold in Uncertain Times
Dow down slightly yesterday. Oil falling further below $100. And gold still going up.
What is most interesting is the movement in the price of gold. It seems to be heading up again — almost no matter what else is happening.
So, let’s look at what might be going on…
If investors sensed a recovery…they would expect banks to lend more freely…people to shop more freely…and prices to rise.
This would raise consumer prices; the price of gold should go up.
But if the market sees growth and ...

"Vultures" identify Portuguese debt as next target
Investors known for snapping up distressed debt on the cheap have identified Portugal as their next target but some of these so-called "vultures" say they will wait until a Greek bond swap deal is completed before striking.
Many traditional bond investors, such as funds that follow ratings benchmarks, were forced to sell Portuguese debt after it was downgraded to "junk" by Standard & Poor's last month.
Others, including some banks, simply fled the volatile market fearing a debt restructuring ...

Forex - Stalled Greece Negotiations Will Weigh On Euro Going Forwar
Forex News and Events:
Talks between Greece and its private sector creditors have still not come to a conclusion and there has been a complete absence of updates on progress this week – raising the uncomfortable possibility that negotiations drag on into another week. The immediate consequences of this lack of resolution are clear; EURUSD has repeatedly failed to garner much buying interest up towards 1.3200 as investors remain concerned that talks may still fail, and risk appetite has failed ...

Results of Spain’s auction on focus
FUNDAMENTAL OUTLOOK at 0800 GMT (EDT +0400)
USD
Risk assets consolidated yesterday’s gains overnight. The dollar failed to regain lost ground and Asian equities followed the S&P 500 higher. Respectable global manufacturing prints certainly helped, but the gradual easing of sovereign stresses inSpainandItalyprobably played the greater role. We keep our cautious stance however, noting that European austerity measures are mostly only in their early stages of implementation, so there is scope for ...
