In 1741 at the start of the War of the Austrian Succession, Cardinal Fleury described the French position as “brilliant”. The Prussians had seized Silesia and a combined Franco-Bavarian army was on the brink of conquering Bohemia. A noose was tightening around the House of Austria. However, even in this moment of triumph the wily courtier warned:  “glass has the lustre of brilliance but is also fragile”.

When the president of the San Francisco Federal Reserve speaks of "three ghastly witches" haunting the US economy it is probably worth paying attention. Janet Yellen and other Fed speakers are generally known for their moderate tones, so invoking Shakespeare's harbingers of doom is a little out of the ordinary. However, her actual remarks struck a similar note to the assessment of economic risks from the last FOMC statement.    more >>

It is strange how the fates of nations can turn. This week marks the 193 anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, which every school child knows was a famous British victory. Yet, at 4:00pm that afternoon, things looked very different. Wave after wave of gallant French cavalry attacks had almost shattered the British infantry. Wellington was famously reported to have said: "Night or the Prussians must come." Fortunately for the British, Gebhard von Blücher's Prussians were indeed about to decisively enter the fray. By 10:00pm the battle was won. There is a tide in the affairs of men.

This week's focus: 
It is now almost received wisdom that there is a bubble in commodity markets. The evidence from institutional investor behaviour is mixed. They have begun to sell the Materials sector and flows into commodity producing countries have not risen as fast as those into developed markets in the last month. This spells uncertainty and trepidation rather than a conviction that commodities are destined for a nasty correction. However, the stronger dollar may put commodity prices under pressure and that could yet spell bad news for broader markets.

On this day 52-years ago, Look Back in Anger opened at the Royal Court Theatre on London's Sloane Square. One critic has called this the birthday of modern British theatre. The play is a rather depressing portrayal of an unhappy marriage, but it did inspire one of the funniest headlines ever written, in the satirical magazine Private Eye: "Book Lack in Ongar". It concerned a strike by library staff in Essex.    more >>

The battle for investor sentiment is being hard fought. But in spite of the talk about a Bernanke put, this is a fight that the US Federal Reserve is ill-equipped to win at this point in the cycle. Markets are at the mercy of unrelentingly bad news from the credit sphere and institutional investors remain firmly on the sidelines. There is no sign yet that dramatic policy moves have broken their buyers strike.     more >>

In markets as horrible as these, clutching at straws can seem like an act of rationality rather than desperation. However, those wishing to read too much into a 3 point rise in this month's Investor Confidence Index are whistling in the dark. As any seasoned commentator will remind you, even dead cats bounce.    more >>
