NAIRA MORE CONCERNED WITH FALLING OIL THAN POWELL

TRUMP THREATENS AGAIN; CRYPTO TRADERS IN PANIC MODE

Yesterday’s rally in U.S. equities showed that the mood has shifted following last week’s selloff. All three major indices rebounded strongly led by beaten-down Tech, Retail and Financial sectors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed near its day’s high posting 354 points in gains, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 1.55% and 2.06% respectively.

He is the medical director of The Hope Valley Fertility Clinic. There are lots of tests you can take to find out if you're infertile and learn what kind of treatment you can get.

BPA LINKED TO INFERTILITY IN WOMEN

BPA (Bisphenol-A) is a chemical compound found in many consumer products including polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins used in food and drink packaging.  However, evidence is accumulating that suggests that BPA may contribute to a variety of health problems. Because BPA has been shown to alter the function of the endocrine system, and has been detected in blood and urine of patients undergoing treatment for infertility, researchers suspect that it may interfere in some way with the normal reproductive cycle.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICALS MAY HARM FERTILITY

Chemicals such as phthalates, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and biphenyl A (BPA)—endocrine disruptors that can mimic the body’s natural hormones—could be contributing to fertility problems.

LET'S BE TRUTHFUL.: CAN A PERSON FINISH THIS SIZE OF FOOD?

A BUSY WEEK AHEAD: FED, GEOPOLITICS & BREXIT TO DOMINATE THE HEADLINES

Two months ago, U.S. equity investors cheered a new all-time high on the S&P 500. Stocks advancing to new record numbers started looking as a normal theme given the strength in the U.S. economy, low unemployment, robust earnings, and of course Trump’s fiscal reforms. Suddenly, the euphoria shifted to uncertainty. Equity markets began to plunge, volatility spiked, major indices entered correction territory, and Oil erased one- third of its value. Some investors are linking the market’s behaviour to the 2008 financial crisis and are questioning whether a new global recession is coming.

PROCESSED MEATS MAY AFFECT MALE FERTILITY

A new study led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health researchers found that frequent consumption of processed meats may harm a man’s ability to fertilize an egg, while eating more poultry may improve his chances.

WOW!!! THIS IS THE HOTTEST FASHION IN TOWN

NERVOUS INVESTORS NEED ASSURANCES TO BUY THE DIPS

U.S. stocks rebounded yesterday after heavy declines on Monday and Tuesday, thanks to a bounce in technology stocks and a slight recovery in oil prices after a steep selloff. Investors in Asia do not seem inspired by this shy rally. Equities are struggling to find direction this morning with mainland China indices turning negative after starting the day in green. The South Korean Kospi and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index are also slightly lower, while the Australian ASX rose more than 0.8%.

HOT TOPIC COMMENT ON MPC INTEREST RATES

Written by: Lukman Otunuga, FXTM Research Analyst

It should be no surprise that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has left the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 14% in November. The combination of Oil price uncertainty, falling reserves, lingering inflationary pressures, an appreciating Dollar and other external risks have forced the CBN to maintain the status quo on monetary policy.

In so many ways are fertility specialists all over the world creating methods to make initiatives that will restore or boost fertility.

HOW MANY WOMEN ARE WISE ENOUGH TO DO THIS?

A certain man told his wife that he was going for two weeks seminar abroad. The wife later discovered that her husband was with another woman in the next street. She went there and found her husband with the woman. She left and came back home without saying anything.

WHY THOSE WHO DON’T UNDERSTAND OFFICE POLITICS LOSE OUT IN PROMOTION AND CHOICE POSTINGS OR EVEN GET SACKED

Anayo Nwosu

By Anayo M. Nwosu

To Deola, I was the right person to pour her heart to. She didn't even come to see me on appointment but had barged into my office and wouldn't allow me to return her greetings when she burst into an embarrassing cry. My neighbour colleague in the adjoining office or a passer-by would think that I was responsible for such a spontaneous outburst. But I was innocent. I was forced to cuddle her closely, holding her so tightly to my chest to feel her pulse and to snuff off further shriek or loud cry.

When I was invited to attend an employment interview by Broad Bank of Nigeria in April 2004, I didn't know that I was in for a shocker. I was moving from Fidelity Bank and was to be interviewed for the position of the head of marketing or a branch manager. The head of the interview panel was the current MD of Fidelity Bank. He was in charge of Commercial Banking in Broad Bank then.

WHY YOU SHOULD STAY POSITIVE WHILE FACING FERTILITY CHALLENGES

Stress can negatively impact the body, thus putting a damper on fertility. And unfortunately, stress is compounded when we try to conceive month after month, creating a downward spiral that is difficult to break. Many couples become emotionally distressed when they are facing conception problems. These negative emotions breed more negative thought forms, which then reinforce other unpleasant feelings even leading to depression.

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION AND INFERTILITY

When a man cannot attain or maintain an erection suitably for sexual intercourse, it is usually an inconvenience, particularly if he and his partner are trying to conceive. Erectile Dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is a form of sexual dysfunction that is present in about 20-25 percent of infertile couples.

HAVE IPHONE SALES BECOME THE MODERN INDICATOR FOR GLOBAL ECONOMIC GROWTH?

The recovery in U.S. stocks from October’s slump evaporated on Monday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling more than 600 points, while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 declined 2.78% and 1.97% respectively. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html  Apple led the sharp selloff after Lumentum Holdings, a key supplier to Apple’s iPhone, said one of its largest customers asked to reduce material shipments for previously placed orders. Although Lumentum, the optical equipment maker did not name the firm, investors jumped to the conclusion that Apple is the company which requested to reduce its shipments, supporting views that iPhone sales are beginning to experience a declining trend.  http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html

DOLLAR INDEX ADVANCING TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE JUNE 2017

The Dollar strength story has returned to the scene with a vengeance, and it represents a risk of crumbling its counterparts across the globe. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html The Dollar Index has advanced to its highest level since June 2017 as trading commences for the new week, which represents a 17-month high for the Greenback and a milestone low for the likes of the Euro that has consequently declined to its lowest level since June 2017 on renewed Dollar strength.

NAIRA UNFAZED BY RESURGENT DOLLAR, BOND ROADSHOW IN FOCUS

The Naira continues to witness stability against a broadly stronger Dollar despite other emerging market currencies feeling the heat. While the Naira’s resilience is somewhat encouraging, the price paid to keep the local currency buoyed is becoming increasingly discouraging. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html Defending the Naira has sent the nation's foreign exchange reserves slipping to an 8-month low. With Oil prices briefly entering a bear market last week, it may become a headache for the Central Bank of Nigeria to defend the Naira against an appreciating Dollar.

COMMENTARY ON THE OPEC MEETING IN ABU DHABI

The initial headlines coming out of the OPEC meeting in Abu Dhabi that Saudi Arabia has committed itself to lower production output should be enough to prevent the value of Oil from falling any further, at least for now. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html This meeting is still ongoing and not scheduled to conclude until later on Monday, but it does appear at least on headline that the consensus is that the price of Oil would benefit from less supply heading into 2019.

HAVE YOU HEARD THIS? JUST EIGHT WEEKS OF STRESS DAMAGES MAN’S FERTILITY

Just two months of stress may damage a man’s sperm and slash his chances of having children, a new study suggests. Israeli scientists found men are 47 per cent more likely to have swimmers with weak motility if they are under intense pressure .Weak motility,  known to be affected by lifestyle choices, makes it less likely that the sperm will successfully fertilise an egg.

The findings were derived from 11,000 sperm samples, including those of adults exposed to ‘regular rocket warning sirens’ in the Gaza Strip. Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Soroka University Medical Center in Beer-Sheva led the study.

They analysed 10,535 sperm samples donated by men during periods in Israel deemed ‘unstressful’ between 2009 and 2017. These were then compared to 659 samples from men take up to two months after fierce military battles between Israel and Gaza. The men had an average age of 32, which, according to figures, is the average age for first time fathers in the United Kingdom (UK). Even though the findings related to just those living in conflict zones, the researchers argued they could apply to any mental stress.

CAUTIOUS MOOD AHEAD OF U.S. MIDTERM ELECTIONS

Investors across the globe are keeping a close eye on today’s most expensive U.S. mid-term election on record. In less than 24 hours, American voters will have their say on how well they think President Trump has handled running the country. The three possible scenarios are a red wall, a blue wave, or a gridlock. But what markets have priced in so far is for Democrats to take control of the House of Representatives while Republicans to remain holding the Senate.

DO THE MID-TERM RESULTS CHANGE ENOUGH TO ENCOURAGE A SELL-OFF IN USD?
