Dollar Falls After AFP Says Iran Test-Fires Long-Range Missile
By Kosuke Goto and Stanley White
July 9 (Bloomberg) -- The dollar declined against the yen and euro after Agence France-Presse reported that Iran test- fired a long-range missile capable of reaching Israel.
The yen and the Swiss franc strengthened on speculation the missile test signals that international political tensions will keep escalating, spurring investors to buy assets in nations that are perceived as safer.
``The news of Iran's missile launch is causing the dollar to fall,'' said Masahiro Sato, joint general manager of the treasury division at Mizuho Trust & Banking Co. in Tokyo. ``It's also boosting the Swiss franc in a flight to safety. It's difficult to judge Iran's intentions regarding its nuclear capabilities, and that is a significant geopolitical risk.''
The dollar fell to 107.13 yen as of 2:01 p.m. in Tokyo from 107.50 yen late in New York yesterday. It also weakened to $1.5689 versus the euro compared with $1.5670 yesterday.
The dollar may decline to 106.70 yen today, Sato said.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps fired ``a Shahab 3 with a conventional warhead weighing 1 ton and a 2,000-kilometer (1,240-mile) range,'' AFP said, citing Iran's state television channel Al-Alam.
``In this holiday-thinned market period, geopolitical news like Iran's test firing will see safe-haven currencies like the yen benefit,'' said Robert Rennie, chief currency strategist based in Sydney at Westpac Banking Corp., Australia's fourth- biggest lender.
Japan's currency climbed to 168.22 versus the euro from 168.45 in New York yesterday. The Swiss franc advanced to 1.0299 versus the dollar from 1.0337.

"If you are going to end visits to the state by McCain/ Palin, do it.
Just don't formally announce that you are 'pulling out' of Michigan,
and then come back two days later asking the base core of support
to 'keep working.' What a slap in the face to all the thousands of
people who have been energized by the addition of Sarah Palin to
the ticket. I've been involved in County Party politics and organization
for 40 years, and this is the biggest dumbass stunt I have ever seen...
He has given up on our State? What a total and complete crock of
crap. Again, I think McCain owes the Republicans and the People of
Michigan a HUGE APOLOGY. SOON!"

Gawd I love GLP humor.
Regarding oil, FUCK the prices are going to skyrocket this week. Wouldn't be surprised to see crude break through the $150 barrier.

Something has always about to happen with Iran for years now on GLP. This is ALWAYS the beginning of the end here as you fucks thrive on death and destruction.
If someone revived Little Orphan Annie as a play, the bible thumpers preach parables of doom - or the rest would say trouble ahead as a stage-hand was found to have Iranian parents.
Faaakk.. this place gets nothing more than amusing every day. |

MSNBC reported it, however, they tried to add to it with a report
from someone on the ground in Tehran but the audio link wasn't
working.

the media always likes to manipulate the truth. it's still truth, but from a different angle. sure, Iran could be building a nuclear bomb, but the key word that the media always uses is 'could'. |
