 Here's another good one:

US treasury auctions. Some of these are failing (hmm, also in Europe). Not all the debt is finding buyers at target rates.

If others will append other useful webpage links, I will copy and paste them into a single post, with commentary. The Fed keeps a lot of statistical information, such as money supply and trade balances.
