民俗学家:今年虎年七月超凶

虎年的七月特别凶,而今年又逢六十年不遇的“天冲地克”格局,因此,预料将天灾人祸不断!

富贵集团新加坡公司执行顾问姜培康表示,根据奇门遁甲派的民俗学,老虎生性凶猛,加上农历七月,天灾和不幸事故发生的比例将会提高。

著名风水师陈军荣也说,今年的七月又比一般的虎年七月来得更凶。从飞星学来看,今年七月由五黄星主导,于是会产生较多灾难。

从天干地支来看,今年是庚寅年,而七月是甲申月。天干方面,庚干和甲干对冲,地支方面,寅支和申支相克,出现了罕见的“天冲地克”格局。

他说,每年会有一个月出现“天冲”,另有一个月出现“地克”,2个碰在一起,可说是60年不遇。

上一次出现这种格局,是1950年的农历七月左右。据资料,当时中国淮河大淹水,2万1600人丧命。

US jobs data sends dollar lower

NEW YORK: The US dollar traded lower against the euro and the yen on Friday as investors fled from the greenback after weak jobs figures.

News that the US economy shed more jobs than expected in July dominated the day's trade.

Some 131,000 jobs were lost and the unemployment rate remained stuck at 9.5 percent last month, officials said, as federal and local governments slashed jobs.

"FX battled between the two competing impulses of risk aversion versus capital flight from dollar denominated assets, the later force won out and the euro... climbed higher," said Boris Schlossberg of Global Forex Trading.

The euro changed hands at 1.3280 dollars in New York at 2330 GMT, higher than the 1.3190 dollars fetched late Thursday.

The dollar also fell against the Japanese currency, at 85.51 yen from 85.82 on Thursday.

Against other key currencies the dollar declined to 1.0388 Swiss francs from 1.0453 Thursday while the British pound rose to 1.5942 dollars from 1.5893.
