Hundreds of Syrians in Lebanon have staged a demonstration in support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the Lebanese city of Sidon.

On Sunday, the protesters chanted slogans in favor of the Syrian president, and Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, The Daily Star reported.

“The protest is in solidarity with the Syrian people, Syria and Bashar al-Assad,” said a protester.

The demonstrators also shouted slogans against Turkey and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose government is supporting militants fighting against the Syrian government.

The protesters carried pictures of Assad with a caption that read, “Beware of harming Syria, you villains.”

The Syria crisis began in March 2011, and many people, including large numbers of soldiers and security personnel, have been killed in the violence.

The Syrian government says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants are foreign nationals.

In an interview recently broadcast on Turkish television, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said that if the militants take power in Syria, they could destabilize the entire Middle East region for decades.

“If the unrest in Syria leads to the partitioning of the country, or if the terrorist forces take control, the situation will inevitably spill over into neighboring countries and create a domino effect throughout the Middle East and beyond,” he added.

* Euro Gets Caught in Yen-Dollar Crosses

By , February 28, 2012 7:40 pm

Front and center, I can tell you the lofty figures the euro (EUR) reached Friday, after the US printed a 2.5% third quarter GDP, just couldn’t hold through the night last night… You see, there are just too many questions being thrown at the Eurozone leaders about how their “Grand Plan” is going to be carried out.

I’ll tell you another thing weighing on the euro this morning, is that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) stepped in to intervene last night, selling yen (JPY) and buying dollars… Just the weight of dollar buying on those yen/dollar trades has carried over on the crosses to euro/dollars… I’ve explained this currency cross thing before, so I won’t go there again, as it is quite wordy… But for new readers, just think of large trades selling yen, and buying dollars… Well, the euro is the offset currency of the dollar, so on the euro/dollar cross, it begins to take on water too, as “buy dollars” is the trade du jour!

This is the first time since August fourth that the BOJ has tested the intervention waters, although, we’ve heard a ton of warnings from the BOJ, and other Japanese officials. Well, the intervention weakened the yen by pushing it to 79.53, from 75.82… But, the markets are not going to let the BOJ get off Ollie, Ollie Oxen Free, as they have pushed the yen price back to 78… (Remember, yen is a European-priced currency, so as the price goes down, the more value it returns versus dollars, and vice versa.)

Japanese Finance Minister, Azumi, pledged to keep selling the yen… Well… In my opinion, he had better, or else the markets will take the yen right back to the lofty figure of last Friday!

Another currency that hasn’t been able to hold on to the lofty figures of Friday, is the Aussie dollar (AUD). The rising Aussie dollar in recent weeks, is seen to give the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) room to cut interest rates, as the stronger Aussie dollar helps to keep inflation at bay… But the rate cut could be a double-edged sword, in that investors bail from the Aussie dollar, thus weakening it, and there goes any defense Australia had against inflation! That’s what it looks like to me here… That would not be good for Australia or the Aussie dollar…

The markets are of the belief that the RBA will cut rates this evening (tomorrow for them) and the weight of that prospect has just been too much for the Aussie dollar to deal with, and it is 1&1/2-cents cheaper this morning…

I know that I’ve gone out on the limb a few times already when the markets thought the RBA would cut rates at a specific meeting in the past, and said I just didn’t see the RBA cutting rates… Not with the strong data prints we’ve seen from Australia recently… So, on that thought alone, I’ll climb back out on the limb again, but this time, I’m not so sure, so I’ll just be wishin’ and hopin’, and thinking’ and prayin’ that the RBA doesn’t decide to debase their currency!

The RBA isn’t the only central bank to meet this week… We’ll see the Fed Heads get together, and Mario Draghi will call to order his first European Central Bank (ECB) meeting on Thursday. Last week I told you that I expect that Draghi will present a dovish statement this Thursday, that will pave the way for a rate cut in December… That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! I would think that once Draghi sounds dovish, the euro would feel the pressure, that is, unless the markets are still in the mood to reward currencies from countries that cut rates to promote growth… What an insane market mentality that is… But it is what it is, folks…

And then the Fed meeting on Wednesday… This meeting will be no great shakes regarding any new direction for the Fed Heads… However, after the meeting, Fed Chairman, Big Ben Bernanke, will hold a press conference… I can tell you that if I were there, and they called on me… (Hand up in the air, “Ooh, ooh, call on me Mr. Kotter!”) I would ask him about the mortgage backed securities that the Fed admitted buying back last week… And then, I would follow that up with a question on QE3, and watch him squirm!
