Bond bubble warning from BIS

Hope that American politicians may be able to successfully navigate their way through the fiscal cliff rapids, and suggestions that the Federal Reserve may announce an extension of its bond-buying programme are stimulating bids for growth assets.

The nitty-gritty of US GDP numbers

Contributors to this site have frequent cause to comment on the misleading nature of GDP as a means of measuring the economic growth and well being of a country. The last batch of GDP figures for the United States proves this point in spades. The data showed that the economy grew at a 2% annualised pace between July and September. While ...

Euro survival uncertain as Italy and Spain yields surpass bailout territory

The gold price took a hit yesterday, falling close to $1,700 before once again rebounding to $1,732 per troy ounce.
