After several weeks of trying and failing, currency traders were finally able to push the U.S. dollar past the psychologically significant 100 level against the the Japanese yen Thursday.
USD/JPY, one of the world's most heavily traded currency pairs, is currently trading higher by 1.49 percent at 100.47 while being bid at 100.46 and offered at 100.49, according to Investing.com.
Predictably, the move by USD/JPY above the 100 area has boosted the ProShares UltraShort Yen (NYSE:YCS), which is designed to deliver twice the daily inverse of the yen against the dollar. Said another way, if USD/JPY rises one percent, YCS should gain two percent.
YCS is doing its job today as the ETF is up 3.34 percent and earlier touched a new 52-week high at 66.74 after USD/JPY traversed 100 for the first time in four years. Volume in YCS is about 19 percent above the daily average.
Some traders have previously speculated that the gains for the dollar against the yen will keep coming above 100 because of the large amount of stop-loss orders placed at and around that area by forex and options traders that took the wrong side of the trade.
Helped by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's desire to weaken the yen and the Bank of Japan taking a page from the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing playbook, the Japanese currency is the worst-performing developed market currency in the world this year.
Since mid-November 2012 when it became evident that Abe could win Japan's top elected position, YCS surged 51 percent and that does not include Thursday's surge.
YCS had $466.17 million in assets under management, a massive amount by the standards of leveraged ETFs, as of March 31, according to ProShares data.
The euro zone countries should make certain changes in order to give the EU a greater probability of surviving, believes John Redwood, British MP and leader of the conservative policy group on economic competitiveness.
The reason is simple – British people do not want to be a part of a European super state. Still, Redwood hopes that the members of the EU, “for the sake of the world and their sake,” succeed.
On the other hand, keeping the UK out of the euro gives the latter greater chances of success, taking into consideration the difficulties with the banking system the UK has endured over recent years. “The strong pull of the trans-Atlantic trade on the British currency could well have destroyed the euro by now,” he eval...
Redwood proposed devaluating the euro to help less competitive EU members – which may not please Germany, because it will speed up the inflation of the Europe’s greatest economy – but this is the price of keeping the euro zone.
Customers taking rogue firms to the small claims court must now pay nearly twice the fees.
From April 22, the cost of going to court will rise from £245 to £445 for compensation claims of £5,000 to £10,000.
It would mean a fee of nearly 10 per cent for a claim in a £5,500 row.
To make a claim from £3,000 to £5,000, there is a near-doubling of the fee to £205.
There will be no charge for claims of less than £1,000, the Ministry of Justice has confirmed.
Some fear the cost rises will discourage rip-off victims from seeking compensation.
The small claims court is the low-hassle way to take legal action for up to £10,000 in England and Wales.
If a shop won’t give a refund on faulty goods or a builder botches your bathroom, you can make a complaint online without a lawyer.
The charity Citizens Advice says most small claims concern disputes between tenants and landlords, or compensation for shoddy service.
Rules introduced last April allow anyone who lodges a claim in England or Wales to be referred to a mediation service.
This can be cheaper, with services starting at £100.
Wool and lead have left a heavy impression on the Peak District and both were in evidence walking up from the village of Abney on a wild morning. The sheep were deliberate and shifting landmarks on the slope of Abney Moor, but the lead was there only in the name of my location: Smelting Hill.
Many placenames in this part of Derbyshire, like fallen leaves from a dead tree, are yellowing reminders of the lead mining and processing industry that dominated the waking lives and nightmares of the families who worked in it.
Its focus shifted in tune with technology. At the bottom of the hill on the fringe of Hathersage is Leadmill, with ready access to the energy of the Derwent to drive bellows that kept wood burning hot enough to smelt the metal.
Before the era of bellows and water power, in an industry stretching back to the Roman era, smelters were called boles and located high on Derbyshire's hills and moors, where a good blow would keep the fire hot for long enough; a couple of days was needed for the job.
There are bole hills to the south, including Burton Bole, just to the west of Smelting Hill, but the method was abandoned by the 16th century, leaving just a name and lead-rich slag heaps, later reprocessed. In some areas of the Peak, the earth was too toxic to allow cattle and sheep to graze safely, because of "the be...
The wind was blowing an autumn gale as I crossed the stream of Siney Sitch, dividing Abney from Offerton Moor, driving heavy black clouds in from the dark mass of Kinder Scout. For a moment, the wind muscled them apart to reveal, from the brink of Offerton Moor, a grand view of Bamford lit by sunshine and a silvery gli...
Then the light died and rain pushed in from the west as I hurried to take shelter in Dunge Wood.
In all, there are 151 unique pokemons that can be caught globally, although there are some that are exclusive to particular regions like, 'Farfetch'd' in Asia, 'Kangaskhan' in Australia and New Zeland and 'Mr Mime' in Europe.
Taking the Pokemon Go fever a notch higher, the city hosted its own Pokemon walk with ‘trainers’ hunting down the rarest of the digital creatures to add to their kitty of ‘monsters’. Organised by Performers’ Consortium, a not-for-profit organisation that seeks to put together heterogeneous art forms of unconventional s...
Also, there are nine elusive of these digital monsters – Ditto, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo and Mew – regarding the existence of which within the game there is no available information as of now. The “Poke Hunt” which was created on Facebook as a purely whimsical act, garnered immense popularity. The hunt began a...
“We had created the event on Facebook just like that with absolutely no idea that it would become so popular,” Kamath said.
While organisers had previously decided to provide participants with maps detailing the location of pokemons, the event turned out to be more “spontanoeous” where people would rush to a particular spot as soon a monster was located. “We had planned to provide people with crowd sourced maps from those who have been play...
While there were a couple of similar pokemon walks happening at other places across the city, Performers’ Consortium chose India Gate as the location because of the large number of ‘Pokestops’ in the area, besides being a ‘Pokemon rich region.’ According to them, rare pokemons like Kabuto, which is a fossil like pokemo...
“From the basic knowledge of the game, bug, grass and poison type Pokemons will be found in the lawns and parks and water pokemons can be found near the pools and other water bodies,” Kamath said.
Speaking about the safety concerns while looking for pokemons on the road, he said that the entire group walked together with him carrying a sign board indicating that they were playing the game.
While no pokemon trainer from the group managed to catch them all, the highest one of the players reached was Level 20 in the game.
Kamath’s team hopes to conduct a similar hunt next month.
“By next month, hopefully the app would have launched in India officially and we can conduct another PokeHunt in August,” he said.
He also talked about turning the Pokemon hunt into a potential profit generating business venture. He however, refused to disclose any further details at present.
“The idea is to collaborate this with what we actually do. What we think can be done is have concerts for different art forms at the pokestops where trainers will stop by to collect pokeballs and then attend the respective events,” he said.
Furniture tip-overs are a hidden hazard in everyone’s home. In fact, in 2016, Ikea recalled millions of dressers and other pieces of furniture for fear that the items could tip over and crush young children.
However, experts say there's an easy fix to the problem that takes less than 10 minutes.
According to Patrick McNulty of "Child Safe Childproofing," you'll need a hand drill, a drill bit, a stud finder and a pencil. You'll also need a child-safe strap, like the ones made of metal and seatbelt material that can be found on Amazon .
McNulty recommends using two straps for dressers at least 2 feet tall.
First, using the stud finder, find the studs at either end of the wall behind the dresser. Mark those spots with the pencil.
Next,attach one side of the strap to the dresser. Then, slide the dresser close to the wall and attach the other end of the strap to the wall.
McNulty says every 17 minutes a child gets hurt by tipping furniture. More than 46 percent of all tip-overs happen in the bedroom.
With simple tools and 10 minutes of work, McNulty says you could save a life.
“Any ER visit you end up paying for, it's going to be far cheaper to just strap all the furniture,” he said.
Tuesday, April 17, is Tax Day this year. Uncle Sam will come knocking and across the country millions of Americans will be reminded just how much their lives changed for the better this year since the Trump tax cuts took effect.
Politics are personal as they say, and there is nothing more personal than someone’s wallet.
Under the new tax law, an average family of four will get a $2,000 tax cut this year and can expect to see next year’s tax bill slashed by 58 percent.
To date, 507 companies have made decisions to hand out bonuses, raises, add more money into their employees’ 401K accounts, as well as plans to grow their businesses or slash costs for consumers. This is all courtesy of the Trump tax cuts.
The Department of the Treasury estimates 90 percent of the workforce is seeing more money in their paychecks, thanks to the tax cuts. The new law also doubles the amount of the child tax credit to $2,000 per child based on eligible kids. The individual tax cuts, including the child tax credits, are set to expire in 202...
Between enacting a sweeping tax cut that has put more money in people’s wallets and a regulation rollback that has propelled businesses into hiring more people, the economy is surging; and there isn’t a single Democrat who can take any credit for it.
What better time than now to make that relief a fixture for people instead of a temporary respite. Now that the tax cuts have taken effect and we’ve seen how they are helping the economy and providing a long overdue break for individual families across the board, why not force the Democrats into a do-over.
Not a single Democrat voted for the tax cuts the first time around. Give them another chance to vote to let more people keep the money they earn - this time permanently.
If they vote no again they can answer to their voters in November. And if you’re Joe Manchin, D-W.V., or Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., from states President Trump carried, good luck with that. If they vote yes, it helps continue to “make America great again,” and that’s something in which we should all be united.
If Republicans are scared they may lose a campaign talking point for the midterms should some Democrats cross over and vote with them, they need to remember this is the president’s agenda. They need to own it and they need to run on it if they want to have any chance of winning in November.
In the races we’ve watched Republicans lose in states where Trump has won, like Pennsylvania, the Republican candidates have done a horrible job of owning the Trump agenda. Instead they’ve sat back and let the Democratic candidates define them.
Any Republican running in a Trump state or Trump district, who lets a Democratic opponent define himself or herself, deserves to lose.
Between enacting a sweeping tax cut that has put more money in people’s wallets and a regulation rollback that has propelled businesses into hiring more people, the economy is surging; and there isn’t a single Democrat who can take any credit for it. This week is as good as any for Republicans to remind voters of this ...
More people working for more money, and more money in your pocket is a winning message. More money in retirement accounts and college savings accounts are accomplishments Republicans should be touting every day.
A growing economy with lower taxes, and benefits for people across the board, is the best campaign platform. It’s about time the GOP started running on it.
Sen. Sam McCann will bring real change, not the same policies that we’ve had.
My name is Thomas McCarty. I am 27 years old and I am a small business owner.
I am endorsing State Sen. Sam McCann for Governor of Illinois.
1. He is the only pro life candidate running for Governor (Gov. Rauner stabbed conservatives in the back when he signed a bill that allowed tax payer money to fund abortions). Gov. Rauner, J. B. Pritzker & Kash Jackson will continue to support pro abortion policies.
2. Sen. McCann is strongly against Gov. Rauner’s transgender birth certificate policy. J. B. Pritzker would also support transgender policies like this. Policies like this endanger children. Sen. McCann will protect children from dangerous transgender policies.
3. Sen. McCann is strong for the second amendment.
4. Sen. McCann is against Gov. Rauner’s sanctuary state policy. On his first day in office, Sen. McCann will work to dismantle the law.
5. Sen. McCann will work with both sides of the aisle to lower taxes.
Neither Gov. Rauner, J. B. Pritzker or Kash Jackson would be the right choice for Governor. They will continue to bring Illinois down.
The website of Domino's Pizza India was hacked, but customers' information was not compromised, the local franchisee Jubilant FoodWorks said on Wednesday.
Personal information including names, phone numbers, email addresses, passwords and city details from 37,000 accounts was leaked from Domino's website to some blogs and websites by by a little-known Turkish hacker group, according to various reports earlier this week. It isn't clear why the group had targeted Domino's ...
The hack reflects India's continuing problems with online security. In July, 2021 Indian websites were defaced, according to the government's Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In). An earlier government estimate stated that a total of 112 government websites in India were hacked from December to February.
Confirming that there was a security breach, Jubilant FoodWorks said it was limited to the "Wow Club" page on the brand website, and the hackers were able to steal some data which was non-commercial in nature. "They had posted the data on few blog sites which we have got blocked now," it added.
The Wow Club gives members access to deals and offers at Domino's. Jubilant, which runs the website as Domino's franchisee for India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, has said in its privacy statement that it requests personal information under certain circumstances, including when members want to order online or regis...
Jubilant said its online pizza ordering site is fully secure, and there had not been any data leakage there. "This is a very unfortunate event which has happened despite the security ecosystem that we have created around our online assets," it said in a statement. The company said it had improved its security, monitori...
Indian government websites have been frequently hacked, usually by groups that claim to be based in Pakistan. India and Pakistan have a longstanding border dispute. More recently a fledgling branch of Anonymous in the country has attacked Indian government and politicians' websites in protest against alleged Internet c...
Private companies have also been hacked, including Microsoft India's online store. The site was attacked in February by Chinese hackers who said they wanted the company's attention, but Microsoft later cautioned that the hackers may have also compromised customers' financial information. The website was hosted by a thi...
