Oil price fall is caused by tighter monetary conditions | Lars Christensen

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Lars Christensen is one of the founding members of the Market Monetarism school of economic thought, having coined the term himself.

EUR/USD Rebounds After Decent Nonfarm Payrolls

http://ift.tt/2pPf6L9

US nonfarm payrolls released during the current trading session were rather good, but that did not prevent EUR/USD from climbing after the release. As a result, the currency pair rebounded after the intraday decline, heading to close just above the opening level. Market analysts speculate that traders paid more attention to the upcoming second round of the French Presidential election this weekend. With polls showing high probability of a victory by market-favored centrist Emmanuel Macron, the euro had an edge on other currencies.

Nonfarm payrolls climbed by 211k in April, exceeding market participants’ average expectation of 194k. On a less positive not, the previous month’s pathetic reading of 98k was revised to even worse 79k. Unemployment rate dropped from 4.5% to 4.4% instead of rising to 4.6% as analysts had predicted. Average hourly earnings rose by 0.3%, matching predictions, while the March increase was revised from 0.2% down to 0.1%. (Event A on the chart.)

Consumer credit rose by $16.4 billion in March from February, exceeding the consensus forecast of $15.0 billion. The February increase was revised from $15.2 billion to $13.8 billion. (Event B on the chart.)

MOSCOW – Tindakan seorang wanita yang membawa seekor burung raven hitam semasa menaiki sebuah tren bawah tanah kini menjadi viral di internet.

Sekeping gambar menunjukkan wanita berkenaan yang mengenakan pakaian serba hitam selain celak tebal duduk di dalam tren bersama seekor burung peliharaannya yang bertenggek di atas pahanya.

Penampilan wanita itu yang kelihatan misteri selain menyeramkan menyebabkan gambarnya menjadi viral di internet.

Gambar yang dikongsi oleh seorang lelaki dari Minneapolis, Max Sparber di Twitter sejak Sabtu lalu telah dikongsi semula lebih 113,000 kali dan menerima lebih 264,000 Like.

“Pastinya, anda seorang wanita misteri, namun anda kelihatan muram semasa menaiki tren dengan burung raven,” tulisnya.

Rata-rata pengguna Twitter menggelar wanita itu sebagai simbol magis, namun segelintir pengguna lain menyifatkan burung peliharaannya mengimbas kembali mengenai hasil karya Edgar Allen Poe bertajuk The Raven.

“Burung itu kelihatan jinak, namun tindakan wanita ini membawa haiwan berkenaan ke dalam tren adalah sesuatu yang jarang dilakukan,” komen seorang pengguna yang enggan dikenali. – AGENSI/Kosmo

CARDIFF, Wales – Seorang nelayan yang menjala ikan di Sungai Towy berhampiran bandar Carmarthen dekat sini menemui sebilah keris pada abad ke-18 yang dipercayai berasal dari sebuah negara di rantau Asia Tenggara.

Menurut portal berita MailOnline semalam, sekumpulan pakar tidak menolak kemungkinan bahawa artifak bersejarah yang berusia ratusan tahun itu berasal dari Malaysia.

Bagaimanapun, satu siasatan kini dijalankan untuk menjawab persoalan bagaimanakah keris berkenaan boleh berada di dasar sungai berkenaan.

Menurut nelayan yang menemui keris itu, Andrew Davies senjata itu tersangkut pada jalanya ketika dia sedang menangkap ikan di sungai berkenaan baru-baru ini.

“Saya terjumpa sebilah keris panjang yang tersangkut pada jala.

“Secara jujurnya, penemuan itu agak memeranjatkan kerana ia bukan benda biasa yang saya tangkap,” katanya. – Kosmo

Telstra expands muru-D accelerator to Melbourne and launches open IoT lab

http://ift.tt/2p3L9Fp

Four years on from launching its muru-D accelerator program in Sydney and taking it to Singapore, Brisbane, and Perth, Telstra has announced its expansion to Melbourne, setting up a program out of its Gurrowa innovation lab.

Having opened Gurrowa in 2015, Telstra also announced the space will come to be housed under the umbrella of its new Telstra Labs initiative, with company CTO Håkan Eriksson explaining this will be a single identity that brings together Telstra’s innovation and tech capability.

Eriksson, who was appointed CTO late last year, said, “It’s a unique environment that allows for rapid experimentation, validation and the implementation of new ideas within Telstra and with our partners and customers.”

Within Gurrowa, Telstra has launched a publicly accessible GSMA Open IoT lab that Eriksson believes is “a definite game changer” for the Australian Internet of Things ecosystem.

It will allow anyone to create, test, and prototype IoT solutions by giving them access to an array of Telstra’s expertise and equipment, including a 3D printer, electronics testing equipment, and fully functional Cat-M1 and NB-IoT networks, with the goal to help foster a community and encourage best-practice sharing of ideas, experience, research, and insights among startups through to global enterprises.

“It means that anyone from university students, to startups, to a multinational company can come here and work with some of the best equipment and minds in the business to bring their IoT solution to life. You can even test your IoT solutions to see how they would work on the Telstra network within a controlled environment,” Eriksson said.

Access to the lab will be free for Telstra partners, while for others access will be granted for a fee, with this scaling according to a company’s circumstances.

Participants in the new muru-D accelerator will also have access to the lab. The program, which will open applications in the coming months, is currently recruiting an entrepreneur in residence.

The program’s expansion comes follows the appointment of former Salesforce executive, Julie Trell as CEO of muru-D in February.

Trell, who took over from founder Annie Parker, said she was excited to work with Telstra and its growing family of startups to create “a uniquely Australasian entrepreneurial culture for the digital age”.

“Companies like Telstra realise that a new generation of workers want real social impact and strong values to be a part of daily life in how and where they work.”

Hundreds of teams apply but only 10 are chosen for a place. Docu-series The Dream Academy reveals that taking an idea and turning it into a viable business isn’t easy but the rewards you reap when you get it right can be incredible. Coming Soon to Channel 7.
