CURRENCY NEWS - FX Trading

Currency News - The British Pound (Sterling) advanced on
Wednesday 23rd July following the minutes being revealed from the
Bank of England's monetary policy committee revealed a surprising
three-way split on how best to advance for the UK interest rates.

The minutes from the Bank of England's July meeting has shown that
Timothy Besley voted for a 25 basis point rise to 5.25% to combat
inflation, while David Blanchflower voted for a cut. Yet the rest of the
committee (7 further members) voted to keep the rate at 5%.

Although nothing has been implemented it shows the tone of the
meeting and suggests a likelihood of possible rises should inflation
stay showing a nominal increase. The market expected a slight drop,
but for the mass of the committee voting for a 'rate hold' suggests
that in future months the expectancy to stay or increase is probable.

This probability that the UK Pound and the UK Monetary Policy,
governed by the Bank of England, could show in the August meeting
to show an increase in Sterling rates.

Economists however are still speculating that the UK rates would,
however, remain on hold, given the fact that forthcoming UK
economic data – including Thursday’s retail sales figures – were likely
to support recent evidence that UK economic momentum was slowing.

Such evidence in confirmation would mean that there maybe too
much haste in chasing the 'pound' currency rates higher.

Nonetheless, the close of the New York exchange saw the pound at
£0.7853 against the euro. The pound also advanced against the
dollar, rising 0.3 per cent to $1.9977, even as the US currency
continued to benefit from comments by US officials on Tuesday.

On the New York Stock Exchange the dollar rallied following a
comment by Hank Paulson, the US Treasury Secretary. He
commented that a strong dollar was very important to US interests.
Although an obvious comment he followed by reassuring investors
that they were forging ahead to implement solutions for the US
mortgage crisis.

Currency - Pounds - Dollars - Euros - were all given a slight boost
following a drop in oil prices on Wednesday 23rd. The dollar rose
against the Yen, Euro and Swiss Franc

FOREX Trading and How to Master It...

By: Adrian Pablo

FOREX is the worlds largest and most liquid trading market.

Many consider FOREX as the best home business you can ever venture in. Even though regular people have had the opportunity to take part in trading foreign currencies for profit (in the same way banks and large corporations do) since 1998, it is just now becoming the cool, hip, new "thing" to talk about at parties, business events, and other social gatherings.

Even though it has been somewhat of a loosely guarded secret, every day more and more investors are turning to the all-electronic world of FOREX trading for income and profit because of its numerous benefits & advantages over traditional trading vehicles, like stocks, bonds and commodities.

But, still, whenever something seems new or is just becoming a part of social conversation, news articles, and water cooler gossip, misconceptions have to be overcome, the mind has to be open and the slate has to be clear for starting out fresh with the CORRECT information.

So, in this article, it is my attempt to give you some solid, but not over-detailed, information on just what the heck "FX" (FOREX) means, what it is, and why it exists.

As a successful trader said, Trading FOREX is like picking money up off the floor. Not trading FOREX is like leaving it there for someone else to pick up." Others in the industry have also said, Trading FOREX is like having an ATM machine on your own computer.

Here's an explanation (one I feel you'll appreciate) of what FOREX is and how a bunch of traders, profit from it:

The Foreign Exchange Market, also referred to the "FOREX" or "FX" market, is the spot (cash) market for currency.

But, don't mistake FX as trading the futures market, where you buy a contract to purchase a particular currency at a future price in time.

What FX traders do is much less risky than trading currencies on the futures market, much more profitable, and a lot easier, than trading stocks.

So, you're probably wondering where it's at ... or ... how to access the FX market?
The answer is: FX Trading is not bound to any one trading floor and is not centralized on an exchange, as with the stock and futures markets. The FX market is considered an Over-the-Counter (OTC) or 'Interbank' market, due to the fact that the entire market is run electronically, within a network of banks, continuously over a 24-hour period.

Yes, if that's the first time you've heard about an all-electronic market, I know this may sound somewhat intriguing to you.

Here's what you are actually trading when you participate in the Foreign Exchange (FOREX) market:

Essentially, like the large banks who use the FX market to protect themselves from the fluctuating exchange rate of different currencies, as an investor, what a FX trader is doing is simultaneously exchanging one countries currency for another. So, in actuality, they're electronically trading a currency-pair and the price that is quoted to us is the exchange rate between the two currencies.

In other words, simply the quoted price is how many of the one currency is worth 1 of the other currency.

Example:

EUR/USD last trade 1.2850 - One Euro is worth $1.2850 US dollars.The first currency (in this example, the EURO) is referred to as the base currency and the second (/USD) as the counter or quote currency.

The FOREX has a DAILY trading volume of around $1.5 trillion dollars - 30 times larger than the combined volume of all U.S. equity markets. This means that 1, 498, 574 skilled traders could each take 1 million dollars out of the FOREX market every day and the FOREX would still have more money left than the New York Stock exchange every day!

The FOREX plays a vital role in the world economy and there will always be a tremendous need for the FOREX. International trade increases as technology and communication increases. As long as there is international trade, there will be a FOREX market. The FX market has to exist so a country like Japan can sell products in the United States and be able to receive Japanese Yen in exchange for US Dollar.
There's plenty of money to be made using FOREX for plenty of traders that use the right trading techniques / tactics that will allow them to profit immensely. And, with only 5% of the daily turnover of volume coming from banks, government and large corporations who need to hedge, the other 95% is for speculation and profit.
