  • Optimism after Bernanke’s speech and higher housing starts is probably overdone. The banks’ problems are not yet fixed and underlying causes of the recession will take years to clear.
  • Falling prices and a weaker pound have led to increased investor interest in the Central London office market. "We've even begun to see competitive bidding for certain asset types," said Tony Horrell, head of European Capital Markets at Jones Lang LaSalle. "As pricing continues to move in the U.K. it's likely to encourage further price movements around the rest of Europe."
  • Real estate and logistics developer CenterPoint Properties has proposed a 60-year concession for the Port of Virginia to the Virginia Department of Transportation. The unsolicited proposal will set in motion a process by which VDOT will solicit competing proposals before selecting a bidder. The process is governed by Virginia's 1995 Public-Private Transportation Act (see guidelines here), and could spark a number of proposals from existing port operators, shipping operators and infrastructure funds.
  • GFI Capital Resources Group is taking a long-term view of the current credit crunch. The New York-based company continues to work in its core commercial sales/finance, retail, acquisitions, mortgage banking, development and insurance businesses.
  • Asian alternative investment manager Pacific Alliance Group and real estate investment manager Secured Capital Japan have signed a deal that will have Pacific Alliance invest up to JPY4.5 billion (USD46 million) in convertible bonds issued by Secured Capital Japan.

  • When I was called early last Thursday and told by a well-informed contact that Merrill Lynch had uncovered a huge trading loss in its FX and rates business, I was surprised. Throughout 2007, I regularly contacted the bank about persistent market rumours that there was a serious revaluation issue in its FX options books.
  • All electronic trading systems crash at some point, so when EBS went down for just over two hours on Thursday, March 5, I didn’t give it too much attention. After all, FX is not like other markets where activity is concentrated on a single venue. There’s plenty of choice in FX, I thought. Trading elsewhere should be relatively simple.
  • There’s some buzz swirling that the CME will reveal plans to clear FX at the annual futures jolly being held as I type at the Boca Raton Resort & Club in Florida. “There are NDAs all over place,” says one contact. “There are some talks going on. It’s probably the biggest topic [at the moment].”
  • “Troubled asset relief program,” = “defective property purchase program”.
  • Japan can teach us all lessons about living in a low-interest rate environment.
  • Citi has introduced web and mobile versions of its retail trading platform. Clients with an internet browser can now access CitiFX Pro margin FX trading platform without the need to install any software.
  • If one brain is good, then presumably two brains must be better. Aleri and Coral8, two providers of complex event processing (CEP) software and solutions, must think so after their merger this week. The combined company will be called Aleri.
