EDITOR’s note Decrypting market movers
Markets are heating up as we enter Q3, seemingly driven by shiſts in Central Banker stances around-the- world. Tere is greater confidence that, outside of Japan, peak monetary stimulus is behind us and a plethora of hawkish comments from central bankers signaled that the era of easy money might be coming to an end.
In this edition we continue
to monitor
monetary policies to give traders decrypting elements of the main currency exchange rates drivers. But we’d also like to bring our readers’ attention to some key market movers which seem to be ignored in mainstream markets.
First, we’ve analysed the performance of
the U.S. dollar during various
Republican administrations with a view to identifying common themes which could seriously affect the value of the currency over the next few years. I invite you to read the analysis findings in “Te Grand Old Party and the US Dollar”.
Second, risks in the Middle-East are
prices are bad for developed central banks who will
feel compelled to
tighten policies, possibly hurting financial markets in time. Te outcome of this dilemma will have an impact on both oil and currency prices.
Te Pound Sterling is in the viewfinder of investors more than ever. Te result of the recent UK general election brought another
on the rise and should be considered carefully. Low oil prices are bad for Saudi Arabia and the stability of the region, and as Saudi needs higher oil price, we might see further significant cuts to OPEC production, probably including Non OPEC countries as well. On the other hand, high oil
market shock and will have a strong impact on both Brexit negotiations and the strength of the pound. Traders should be aware of the implications that this political event could have on the currency market over the coming months.
I n c or p o r a t i n g technical analysis and risk management into your strategy is key to acting on the currency market, and this is why in these pages you will also read about some tested strategies including range-bound trading, support and resistance trading, or counter- trend trading. And you will learn how to master trends by using
multiple time frames, and combining various technical analysis techniques such as trendlines, moving averages and relative currency performance.
As usual our goal is to bring light on some of the most sensitive aspects of currency investing to help our readers become better informed forex traders.
