Peter Bergen says the next president could face a key decision on Israel and Iran.

(CNN) -- Toward the end of Friday's presidential debate, the conversation turned to Iran and there was a long back-and-forth between the two candidates about what kind of conditions should be set for any discussions with the Iranian government.

But neither addressed what could be the most important foreign policy issue either might face as president: a unilateral strike by Israel against Iranian nuclear facilities... >

Gov. Sarah Palin said Monday that she is "looking forward to" Thursday's debate.



Appearing with John McCain on Monday, Gov. Sarah Palin said she was looking forward to debating Sen. Joe Biden.

Commentary: McCain has his priorities straight

Editor's Note: Ruben Navarrette is a nationally syndicated columnist and a member of the editorial board of the San Diego Union-Tribune.



Ruben Navarrette Jr. says John McCain showed real leadership by trying to assist with the bailout deal.

(CNN) -- Talk about a last-minute reprieve. Tonight's presidential debate in Oxford, Mississippi was nearly a casualty of the financial crisis. It's back on schedule.

But hopefully, not back on script. Given all that took place this week, it's obvious that the format of the debate should be immediately revamped to focus not on foreign affairs and national security as planned but on the one subject every American is talking about: the economic crisis... >

Fading Risk Sentiment To Spur Bullish Outlook For The Swiss Franc

Written by David Song, Currency Analyst

The Swiss franc strengthened for the second consecutive week to pick up 100+ pip against the greenback. The uncertainties surrounding the U.S. financial crisis and the Bush Administration’s $700B bailout plan has certainly lowered investors temperament for risk, and the appetite for high yielding securities may remain subdued if the Congress fails to act.

British Pound May Revive Its Decline As Credit Erodes BoE Forecasts

Written by John Kicklighter, Currency Strategist

The health of the financial markets will determine the pound’s future – not just in the days ahead, but for weeks and months. The bailout plan from the US will certainly have a bearing on the UK economy and therefore its currency; but the roots of the year-long credit problem grow a little deeper than just this recent (though crippling) crisis.

Fundamental Outlook for British Pound: Bearish

- Financial crisis raises fears that another UK bank will fail
- Retail spending indicator hits record low, BoE official warns recession may be on the way

Japanese Yen Outlook Depends on US Treasury Bailout Resolution

Written by David Rodriguez, Quantitative Analyst

Fundamental Forecast for the Japanese Yen: Bullish

Forecasts for the Japanese Yen improved on the week, as the largest bank failure in US history and broader financial market instability boosted outlook for the heavily risk-linked currency. The low-yielding Japanese Yen typically benefits in the face of broader market risk aversion, and a 2.15 percent weekly drop in the US Dow Jones Industrials Average forced similar declines in the Yen-based carry trade. Increased uncertainty surrounding the US Treasury’s plan to purchase troubled assets from beleaguered financial institutions led to similar indecision in global risky asset classes. And whether or not the US Congress is able to pass necessary legislature to approve the Treasury bailout plan will likely be a key point in determining near-term direction in the Japanese Yen and other risk-sensitive traded instruments...>

Euro Forecast Against the US Dollar Depends on ECB, US Treasury Bailout

Written by David Rodriguez, Quantitative Analyst


Euro Fundamental Outlook: Bearish

Forecasts for the Euro/US Dollar Exchange rate took a turn for the worse, as a steady stream of bearish economic data dimmed outlook for the broader Euro Zone economy. The EURUSD finished marginally higher through the week’s close despite a deterioration in economic outlook, but this was largely a function of broader US dollar weakness. When we look at fresh fundamental developments out of the EMU, we see that German IFO consumer confidence fell yet again, and Ireland became the first EMU economy to officially enter two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Though the former “Celtic Tiger” is not necessarily comparable to other major European Monetary Union states, many believe that it will only be the first of several countries in the EMU to enter technical recessions. Such pressures may leave the European Central Bank with little choice but to ease interest rates in a bid to boost flagging European growth rates... >
