Future volatility trends in major currency pairs.

One of the fascinations for market watchers, is looking at a price ahead of an `important` piece of news, and the subsequent price action following publication, that is, how much of the real number is already `in the price`. The anticipation of certain statistics is one thing, but on a more macro level, there are times when certain assumptions gradually creep into market thinking, and it is always useful to review these.

August 2013: Trading the Chinese Flash Manufacturing PMI

I know past results don't guarantee future performance, but there is a lesson to be learned in looking at last month’s numbers.
Chinese Flash Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) is based on a survey of purchasing managers in the manufacturing sector.
Respondents are surveyed for their view of the economy and business conditions in China. A reading which is higher than the market forecast is bullish for the Australian dollar.

My Day in New York City! Task 15

Although, none of my days this week were particularly interesting, I would like to take you through my day on Monday, September 9th. It was a fairly good and busy day. So, here it goes: 1. I started my day early in the morning with going to a hairdresser for a blowout. I don’t do this every day, but only on the days when I have to give market reports on TV in the afternoon. Photos of 'before' and 'after' attached: 2 Next, I was in the office working, but unfortunately I don’…

Cannot figure out EUR/USD? Try vodka!

Here’s an interesting article, and if you like FX and the odd drink, you’re gonna love it!
  • The idea to be tested was that drinking alcohol can help to solve problems.
  • To test this, study participants were given bagels and a couple of vodka-and-cranberries, and then asked to solve puzzles
  • The results showed that participants were better at solving the puzzles after the cocktails
The current experiment tested the effects of moderate alcohol intoxication on a common creative problem solving task, th…

Currency Predictions for week of Sept 9-13th

EUR/USD Last Friday’s disappointing news regarding the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) numbers in the United States continued to affect the EUR/USD currency pair. Specifically, the EUR/US rose by 0.56% in US trading on Monday. As investors are unsure whether tapering will begin in the US, they chose to avoid the US dollar. However, the European Central Bank (ECB) also recently lowered its economic growth forecast for 2014 and the President of the ECB, Mario Draghi, recently stated that he was cautious

How the GDP will affect the USD/JPY?

The USD/JPY and the GDP: How Will it Affect this Currency Pair? The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country refers to a country’s total economic output. The number reflects the total production, income and consumption from different sectors that include manufacturing, services, agriculture, mining, and numerous other areas. To get the most accurate result, population growth, inflation and deflation should ideally be considered in the total. For example, if the population growth increases prop…

Will the US Dollar Increase in Value?

On September 6th, the US Non Farm Payrolls (NFP) number will be released. This particular figure measures the monthly change in the number of recently employed individuals in the United States. As the NFP name suggests, this total does not include people employed in the farming sector. If the released NFP number is higher than the number forecasted by economists, the US dollar is likely to increase in value. After all, the creation of jobs is an extremely important indicator when it comes to th…

A change of fortune for the Rupee...fingers crossed

Good news to see significant rebounds in the value of the Indian Rupee and the Sensex after the appointment of the new Governor. The currency move will have been accentuated by a nicely orchestrated piece of intervention, sensibly timed to make the most of a change in circumstances. As I have emphasised before, intervention timed like this is effective because it backs up other factors that the market consider positive, and the first actions of this technocrat Governor have provided that boost. …
