Last week I raised a question about what the currency markets are trying to tell us by appreciating the dollar against the Euro and Sterling at a time when the eye of the storm is clearly located over the U.S. financial markets. In response, Barbara Rockefeller has provided the following response. Though I am not sure I necessarily agree with this response also, but since it a very micro-market specific response I felt that it is worth sharing with our readers:

The past few weeks have been extremely bruising to our industry and while the same economists who felt that a fall in house prices will have no major impact believe that the failure or disappearance of a number of financial giants is not such a bad thing, it is, in my opinion, getting close to the situation being as bad as it gets.

The appetite for financial products that comply with ‘Shariah’ or Islamic law is on the rise; with estimates for the total value of Islamic assets globally standing at U.S.$500 billion. Although this accounts for 1% of total assets globally, the market for Islamic finance has the potential to be far greater considering that the Muslim population accounts for a fifth of the world’s population (1.3 billion). This potential, however, is someway away from being fulfilled; to date the development and progress of the Islamic finance market has not been uniform by any means and is characterized by its fragmented nature within several regions across the globe.

For a number of years after the Watergate scandal many journalists were trying very hard to replicate the success of their peers at the Washington Post and become the next person to make the headlines and provide the big scoop. Apparently a number of them even went as far as making up names of secret sources in order to create news that could help them become famous. Journalism was, and to a large extent remains, an industry built on egos. Journalists dream of being the news, just like the people they write/report on.
