Market Musings

This blog is my take on current events that affect the financial markets. I cover everything from currencies and bond markets to macro issues and equities. I try to keep my eye on the big picture here, but occasionally I get lost in the finer details if they get really interesting - and even though they sometimes will have no effect in the long-term you may enjoy coming along for the ride.
