Online Forex Trading

I decided to get into online Forex trading because of a finance teacher I had when I was a student at Long Beach State University back in 1996. My finance teacher traded currencies on the open market in order to supplement his teachers salary and was making just under $100,000 a year in profit alone.

He taught us a great deal about currency fluctuations and how we can leverage them to make money for the companies we go to work for after college, as well as for ourselves.

These days, online forex trading is a highly attractive marketplace that has a daily volume of $2.5 trillion dollars and recently became the largest investment arena in the world! Now that the market has reached critical mass, there is no better time to invest in the currency market in order to take advantage of the global trends that are occurring.

Perhaps it is time that you too, like the millions of other individual investors who are now forex trading, join this lucrative forex market, which is accessible to anyone in the world, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from any laptop or computer

LIBOR Thaw Bullish for Investment Grade

Corporate Bonds 0 comments

To be sure, this key lending rate affecting trillions of dollars in loans has started to finally track the decline in the Federal Reserve’s target Fed Funds rate. On Tuesday, the Fed cut its Federal Funds rate to a target range of 0.25% to 0%, even lower than the Bank of Japan’s current 0.30% target rate.Despite the plunge in LIBOR lately most banks continue to hoard cash, including those institutions that have recently received government capital through TARP, or the Troubled Asset Relief Program. This suggests that even a lower LIBOR rate isn’t encouraging lending.

Japanese Yen on Pace for Further Losses Against Euro, US Dollar

Japanese Yen on Pace for Further Losses Against Euro, US Dollar

Fundamental Forecast for Japanese Yen: Bearish

- US Dollar and Japanese Yen tumble as Fed official defuses risk of rate hikes
- Is the dollar the top funding currency?
- Forex correlation show Japanese Yen loses link to S&P 500

The Japanese Yen fell against major forex counterparts for the third week in a row, slipping further on outperformance across key risky asset classes. Yet the 20-day correlation between the US Dollar/Japanese Yen pair and S&P 500 actually turned negative for only the second time in two years—emphasizing ongoing shifts in FX market dynamics. The Yen has long been the go-to currency during times of market stress and, by extension, the first to fall through financial market booms. As the lowest-yielding currency in the industrialized world, investors aggressively borrowed JPY to fund investments in sources of higher income. More recently however, the US Dollar has taken the dubious honor of the cheapest currency to borrow across global financial markets. The surprising shift goes a long way in explaining the USDJPY pair’s inverse correlation to key risky assets, and it will likely remain a major factor for the Japanese Yen through the foreseeable future.

Week in and week out, we have repeated that financial market risk sentiment and the trajectory of the S&P 500 would be the major determinant of USDJPY price action. Of course, the substantive shift in risk correlations would suggest USDJPY moves may depend on other fundamental factors. Against other counterparts, the Yen’s continued losses show little investor interest in buying and holding the low-yielding currency. Given its extraordinarily low yield, holding Japanese Yen is an expensive proposition; the trader must pay higher interest rates to receive paltry JPY yields.

A cursory look at a Yen chart will show you that the currency will tend to lose more often than it gains—except to note that its rallies are far sharper than its declines. That is to say, FX traders avoid buying Yen unless they absolutely have to. And when they are forced to cover JPY short positions, they typically do so in a hurry. Given these JPY trading dynamics, we believe that the Japanese Yen is likely to continue drifting lower against the Euro, British Pound, Australian Dollar, and New Zealand Dollar. The wildcard remains whether we can expect a noteworthy correction in broader financial market risk sentiment.

Impressive performance and fresh highs across key barometers leaves markets at prime risk of pullback. Yet too many traders have gone bust in trying to time a market top. Until we see plausible signs of market turnaround, we have little reason to believe that the Japanese Yen may recover against higher-yielders. The admittedly unpredictable dynamics between the US Dollar and Japanese Yen make the USDJPY an especially challenging pair to trade. If nothing else, however, its recently bullish momentum is likely to keep it aloft through the coming week of trade. - DR
