Markets could see higher ordsprog

Markets could see higher risk of slowing activity from a recurring increase in oil prices. In that case, the Fed will safely close the first chapter of the tightening cycle and move to 'wait' mode. Such a plausible scenario would be a negative for the dollar.

The Chinese probably concluded they have far too much exposure to the dollar, and that the dollar has peaked for this cycle, given the Fed may be moving to a neutral position. Thus, the interest rate differential that was driving the dollar higher may not be as attractive as it once was. The risk is now the dollar may begin to depreciate. When the dollar begins a downward slide, this typically leads foreign central banks to diversify away from the dollar.

Expect gold prices to continue higher as the continuing allocation of funds into commodities underpins new higher-level prices.

Higher grain prices increase the risk of higher prices for bread products.

Thought seasonable factors may be part of the explanation for falling prices and declining home sales, it appears that the housing sector is slowing down as we move into 2006.

With euro/dollar rising above $1.20, many are now taking the view that we have seen the low of the year and that the euro is about to move sharply higher. This is possible but for this to be the case we feel some strong evidence that the U.S. rate cycle will end in May or earlier is required. The market is more sanguine about the Fed than the data currently justifies.

Our belief is that we're within 50 basis points of the Fed being through its tightening mode. Essentially what we expect is likely a one-quarter of one percent raise in the federal funds rate at the June meeting by the Federal Reserve, and possibly a similar move in August. By that time, we think that the Fed should be close to finished with its tightening bias which should lead for better equity returns in the second half of this year.
