The Basics of Money Orders
Money orders are usually one of the most reliable ways for people to receive payment for goods or services. Because money orders are written for the payment of a specific sum of money – and they are issued and payable at a bank or a post office – there is less of a chance for something to go wrong with the transaction. For example, because the money order is paid for when it is purchased, there is no opportunity for the payment to “bounce” (or be returned for insufficient funds) like there could be with using a personal check for payment.
The post office is usually considered to be the resource through which the government issues money orders, while there are also private issuers of money orders. There are also large companies (like American Express, which began issuing money orders in 1882), for example. In addition, there are also other organizations such as banks, large telecommunications companies, and credit unions that will offer them to customers.
One good thing about a money order is that they are written to the payment of a specific person or organization, making them a safe and convenient method for the payment and receipt of funds. The money order clearly lists both the payee as well as the person who purchased it, who is known as the payor. In addition to being used as a secure payment device in investments, money orders can be used by individuals without a checking account to pay bills, utilities and other outstanding debts of any kind.

Weak Japanese Economic Data encourages Shedding of Risk
Weak Japanese economic data encouraged the shedding of risk overnight driving the U.S. Dollar higher against most major currencies while pressuring the Dollar/Yen.
Overnight it was reported that Japanese economic data was weak, with the core CPI falling 1% from a year earlier in June. May industrial production and employment figures also signaled a weakening economy.
The news out of Japan triggered a sharp rise in the Dollar versus most of the major markets. Nervousness ahead of the U.S. GDP number this morning may have contributed to the weakness. Investors are looking for the U.S. to report GDP growth at 2.5% to 2.7%. The Dollar is expected to strengthen if the report comes out worse than expected. The size of the move will be determined by how much the actual report misses the estimates.
