This weekend’s ECB stress test is keeping euro traders alert. The pair is trading at 137.01.

The official results of the tests are due Sunday. Despit…

It's finally here!
Full report
In the first half of this year the USA, along with the other developed regions of the world, suffered from painfully slow recovery, casting doubt over the ability of the world economy to stand on its own two feet this year without the crutches in the form of stimulus. But in the end the world’s largest economy also turned out to be the most successful among its peers. It was one of the few countries that seem to have preserved the positive momentum. As a result, th…

The beginning!
Well, for starters hello! I just got word of this amazing contest as of earlier today and have been nothing but excited to get home from work and find out more details!

Dear traders,
Instead of getting nearer to a long-awaited robust global economic recovery, it seems we have been moving in the wrong direction after all. In place of positive reinforcing signals that the world’s largest economies are finally feeling the effect of remedy in the form of expansionary monetary policy, we are receiving soft and not-so-soft hints that the end of an easing cycle might not be as close as initially anticipated. In effect, we could be far from normalisation, w…

Dear traders,
We entered this year full of optimism and hope, as our worries over the USA economy did not materialise and the overall situation in the world seemed to be improving. However, geopolitical tensions emerged and took us by surprise, revealing that at the very least the near future is not going to be characterised by stability and calmness. Since the latest events are highly unlikely to go unnoticed in the context of global economic recovery, a return to the risk-on enviro…
