350Z's 2007 I Fund Thread

[350zCommTech]

Neither the markets nor the dollar changed enough to cause a -FV. I would be surprise if there is one.

http://www.dailyfx.com/story/dailyf.../US_Dollar_Gets_a_Breather_1176383005387.html IMO .....The dollar is very oversold next to the EURO. The Fed wants the US Dollar to get support.

 

[jayhawker]

The dollar is significantly lower across the board against all other currencies after jobless claims showed a surprise jump of 19,000 and retailers worried about April sales. Tomorrow's PPI might give the dollar a bounce.

I would keep an eye on the USD/YEN. A significant drop in the USD/YEN will bring back the YEN carry trade situation.

 

[jayhawker]

11:40 estimate: -.045 or -1 cents.

Assets of international ETFs grew by about $3.1 billion, or 2.8 percent, with the Barclays Global Investors iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA.N: Quote, Profile , Research) accounting for about $2 billion of the increase, according to the monthly review of ETF activity.

Since Barclays messes with us with all this +/- FV nonsense, I wonder if they do the same with their own clients' accounts?

Looks like a +FV might be applied due to the pm run-up?

I thinks so, but I'm also curious if the new chart that JayHawker found is implimented in any way. Today it was down .204%

FROM TSP WEBSITE....

* On some days, the change in the I Fund share price reported by the TSP does not match the change reported for the Morgan Stanley EAFE (Europe, Australia, Far East) index, which the I Fund tracks. This happens when the Board's investment manager, Barclays Global Investors (BGI) reprices its EAFE Equity Index Fund, in which the TSP invests, after the close of the foreign markets. This process, known as "fair valuation," occurs when there are large U.S. market or currency movements between the time the foreign markets close and 4:00 p.m., eastern time, when BGI's share prices are determined.

Fair valuation ensures that traders cannot "market time" the I Fund by making investment decisions based on the "stale" prices, thus diluting the returns of other participants who invest in the I Fund.

Because the EAFE uses the foreign market closing prices to calculate its values, its price change will differ from the TSP's on those days.
