Paul Craig Roberts speaks
Until recently, Greece and Italy seemed to be sharing the same ominous destiny: end up both of them dusted of their own riches to repay an international debt that proved to be irremediable. Like Greece, Italy has also welcomed an impressive number of immigrants not only from Africa but also from other parts of the world: the Welcome mantra has its apparent origin in Brussels, as well as the austerity policies that have been imposed to Greece and, for the moment still only partially, to Italy. All this is well embedded in a geopolitical turmoil that sees the juxtaposition between the United States and Russia always reach new excesses, despite Donald Trump's attempts to establish a better and more reasonable climate with Vladimir Putin's Russia. Starting from Greece and coming to Italy, what future for us Italians? And for the world? This is the focus of my last interview with Paul Craig Roberts, a man who has become, over the years, a point of reference for those who want to understand the less obvious aspects of the reality that surrounds us. Roberts speaks with his usual frankness and what he says is not at all pleasant and comforting, contrary to the narration to which the great Italian and international media have accustomed us.

EUR/USD leading the pack, median reversion capped, its got to be down from here, surely? 21-D SMA is the initial target
· *EUR/USD traders have taken profits with US markets closed for labour day and the price is being driven back to the upside with a target on the median of the previous day's candle which is around 1.1630. The high so far has been 1.1628. *
· *The question is now, whether this is time to re-enter short EUR/USD with a target to 21-D SMA?*
EUR/USD dropped from 1.1718 on fundamental headlines last week after strong bullish reversal trend of 9/10 bullish daily sticks. The one bearish stick, a piercing line, failed to make a lower low below the prior day and bulls bought back in and in droves. Zooming out, 1.1538 has been a key area of support for the end of 2017 and in recent weeks. It was also an area of resistance back in 2015. Today, its where the 21-D SMA is located, in the middle of the daily Bollinger bands. It is a target for the downside once the pair gathers bearish momentum again - or rather IF the pair gathers bearish momentum again.
*EZ data caps median reversion rally*
In terms of data, the US is closed but European markets showed a miss in the manufacturing numbers which were monitored to reflected how trade wars might be impacting the EZ sector. German final manufacturing PMI came in at 55.9 vs 56.1 and the EMU’s gauge at 54.6 (in-line) for the month of August. EUR/USD dropped from 1.1626 median reversion highs back to 1.1598.
*USD benefits to a greater extent than the EUR from the EM outflow*
Fundamentally, it makes sense to be short EUR/USD. Traders pick up the carry long dollar, short euro. The greenback is being treated as a safe haven and investors are looking for yield - Elsewhere, the hunt for yield is risky with emerging markets awash with contagion risk - Turkey and Italian risk, (credit rating Fitch revised lower its outlook on Italy to negative from stable over the weekend), is not going to be swept under the carpet, or each time that it is, the carpet is pulled back and all is revealed:
"For some EM currencies the higher cost of USD funding has arguably been the biggest driver of capital back to the USD," analysts at Rabobank explained, "How high US rates are likely to extend over the next 12 months or so will be key in determining the full extent of the pain in EM. In the near-term, the likelihood that the Fed will hike rates again in the next few weeks".
Trade tensions have escalated with Trump looking to impose more tariffs on China this week - 6th Sep they might just kick in (to overshadow nonfarm payrolls perhaps?). At the same time, there are difficult negotiations with Canada it seems as well while tensions with Europe simmer in the background - the market wants to be long of the dollar on all of the above risks that are in play. However, 2019 might be a turning point on the interest rate side as the ECB looks set on hiking rates in the second half of the year while the market is expecting notably fewer Fed rate hikes in 2019 relative to 2018. Fundamentally, it makes sense that the pair should stay mainly offered bar some expected median reversion (pull backs), such as what has been seen in trade at the start of this week.
*EUR/USD levels*
The 21-D SMA is first key target located at a familiar line of support and resistance - a break of 1.1580 (prior lower low) would open the case for that target. Beyond there, the weekly 100 SMA is located at 1.1474. " We a forecasting a move to EUR/USD1.13 on a 6 to 9 month view," analysts, who area bearish EUR/USD, have called.

The Tutelary Consortium for Prosecco DOC Announces One of the Best Productions for the Italian Sparkling Wine after Near to Perfect Conditions Continue.
NEW YORK (PRWEB) September 04, 2018
As we draw closer to the final wine harvests of the year, the Tutelary Consortium for Prosecco DOC is anticipating one of the best productions for the Italian sparkling wine after near to perfect conditions continue.
Stefano Zanette, the chairman for the Consortium describes the conditions for all the grapes used in the production of Prosecco as perfect. The favorable weather has permitted not only the proper development of the grapes, but also the optimal phytosanitary status.
These conditions find themselves in the north-eastern part of Italy on a flat type plain with some hilly areas. The climate of the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia lends itself to these conditions, as the area is usually temperate with the mountainous chain of the Alps to the north, acting as a barrier to the cold northern currents and to the south, the Adriatic Sea, which is the main route through which the Sirocco winds arrive, giving rise to sufficient rainfall, especially throughout the summer months. This rainfall lowers the temperature and brings necessary quantities of water to the vine in the stages of shoot and cluster growth.
At the beginning of 2018, the unusually cold temperatures leftover from the previous year worried the 10,242 winegrowers that are part of the Consortium. However, as Zanette explains: “the vegetative cycle of the vines has maintained these years’ average, allowing to overcome the difficulties due to the cold temperatures at the end of the winter that last year compromised a significant part of the production. In April and May the temperatures above the average and the right hydric contribution have accelerated the vegetative development, so that the blossom has begun in middle May. The absence of rain has then allowed the perfect conclusion of this phase and the beginning of the setting (the formation of small berries).”
The favorable weather conditions of the DOC region have been welcomed in the past months, and last weekend's rain was the perfect addition, as Zanette points out, “the rain and the lower temperatures were exactly what we had been hoping for days. The forecast for the upcoming harvest is optimistic, as colder nights and a wider difference in temperatures between day and night help augment the aroma and will enhance the quality of the grapes.”
Thanks to the temperatures and the weather all the grape varieties that will be used for producing Prosecco DOC are developing in these weeks their ideal composition, with their characteristic aroma and the exact acidic profile, which will provide Prosecco DOC its freshness, finesse and pleasantness.
If the conditions are maintained then it means great flavor and the best acidic profile within the 24,450 hectares of the Prosecco DOC region. The harvest will begin in the last days of August.
About The Prosecco DOC Consortium:
Prosecco was granted the Controlled Designation of Origin status on July 17th, 2009, and the Prosecco DOC Consortium (Consorzio di Tutela della Denominazione di Origine Controllata Prosecco) was created on November 19th of the same year to coordinate and manage the Prosecco DOC. The organization unites the different groups of manufacturers—wineries, individual and associated vine-growers, still wine and sparkling wine producers—to ensure the designation continues to grow and that the production regulations are complied with.
About Prosecco DOC:
Prosecco DOC wines come in Spumante (sparkling), Frizzante (semi-sparkling) and Tranquillo (still) varieties. The wines are made from mainly the Glera grape, native to North East Italy for thousands of years, and can be combined with a maximum of 15% of the following grapes: Verdiso, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera, Glera lunga, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Nero. Prosecco Frizzante and Spumante varieties get their famous bubbles using the Secondary Fermentation production method, bottled under high pressure after fermentation in bulk tanks called autoclaves, as opposed to the traditional method, which bypasses the autoclaves and is used for other sparkling wine varieties. The end result is a brilliant straw yellow wine with fine, persistent perlage and aromas of white flowers, apple and pear. It is fresh and elegant on the palate with moderate alcoholic strength.

The company brings 25 years of experience in custom V.I.P. events and luxury exhibition design to offer a full range of event production and creative services to fashion brands looking to create innovative client experiences.
FLORENCE, Italy (PRWEB) September 04, 2018
Matteo Giusti, CEO of Genius Progetti, an international event production agency, announces expanded luxury event services for fashion brands with new headquarters in Florence, Italy after the success of their international exotic sports car launches throughout Europe.
Genius Progetti is an international event production agency located in Italy with offices in Modena and Florence. 2019 marks their 25th Anniversary as leaders in bespoke event and exhibition creation, serving Europe’s best companies in creating memorable experiences for their top level clients.
The company is reaching out to offer new clients their expertise in luxury event production and management offering European location scouting, model and talent management, customer care, full production services including multi-media and live show creation, architectural design and creative services together with their partner company Exprimo. As part of this expansion they have recently doubled their staff and opened a new office in the centre of Florence, Italy.
“2018 has been another incredible year of growth for us”, states company CEO Matteo Giusti. “We have signed another 3 year contact with Ferrari for all of their European client events including driving events, new model test drives, travelling car presentations and new model launches throughout Europe. In 2017 we managed major European car launches with 7 launch events in the UK, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and France. The concept for those launches was a major production in each city and reached over 2,000 clients and we’ve decided to bring this know-how to the fashion world to offer brands something different.”
Genius Progetti collaborates with two sister companies including Studio Grazia Franzoni Architects and Exprimo Comunicazione and includes a team of 30+ young creatives in their roster of talent.
“In 2016 we developed the first ever Super Car fashion show for launches in London and Berlin. They were revolutionary events for 2,000 guests combining the worlds of exotic sports cars with fashion. The event was a gala dinner, runway show and live production of a custom choreographed piece with some of Europe’s most prominent dancers.”
Historically, Genius Progetti has produced corporate anniversary events for many of Italy’s prominent ceramic tile companies. “Our main corporate office is in Sassuolo, Italy, home to the world’s most important brands for the design and creation of ceramics and porcelain tiles”. In 2008, the company expanded from the ceramic industry into the automotive industry and began their 10-year relationships with automotive brands such as Kohler Engines and Ferrari S.p.A. whom they continue to work with.
“We are a growing agency that dedicates to our clients and we scale our business according to their needs, this is why major brands such as Kohler and Ferrari have been with us for a decade.”
The company has recently made major investments in hiring new talent for a fully international project management and creative team. “We have realised some of the most technologically advanced events in the last few years, reaching all of the top-tier clients for the brands we work with. Internationally, there is a shift towards client based marketing and we help brands create memorable experiences that increase brand loyalty,” says Angela Nardiello, a Canadian business professional that has recently joined the Genius Progetti team.
Genius Progetti has recently been identified as one of Italy’s fastest growing companies over the last three years by the Italian National Business Review “Il Sole 24 Ore” and has been nominated for the “Leader della Crescita 2019” Awards.
Genius Progetti has just completed an international traveling exhibition that visited 64 European cities to showcase a new exotic sports car. This traveling exhibition concept, creative design and all outdoor and indoor set design were managed by Genius Progetti and included 64 temporary exhibits in all major European capitals.
Mr. Giusti comments on the company’s ability to deliver memorable events. “We are one-stop shopping for our major clients. Because we specialize in large scale set design and international pavilions we’re able to outfit our event locations with a custom set for the brands we work with. Last year, we transformed the Tuileries Garden in Paris for a 2-day live production event. Our events are more like movie productions than gala dinners, similar to what you would expect from a major fashion show or catwalk event. Having amassed this experience over the past 25 years for the automotive, ceramics and industrial sectors we’re ready to offer our services to the fashion world.”
