My thought on USD fundamental analysis 07 April 2014



The US Non-Farm Payrolls was posted at 192,000 jobs gains in march. While this is a solid number and pointing to a healthy recover, the market was expecting a higher number at around 200,000.

I would advise on holding on to USD as the country is recovering and will still show future growth.

Russia is still an unknown variable as their attack on Ukraine seem to have slowed but had shown no sign of withdrawal from Crimea.

North Korea with their latest nuclear testing seem to be testing the patient of the South Korea, USA and Japan.

China had tighten their monetary policy while at the same time released  mini-stimulus... take extra care when dealing with China market.

I would advise on not trading on precious market for this few weeks as the precious market is jumpy.

PLEASE NOTE THAT FOREX TRADING WILL RESULT IN LOSING ALL YOUR MONIES.

Today's Forex Focus, 30 Jan 2024

 Ah, nephew, let's dive into the Forex market today, shall we? It's like peering into a crystal ball, but with a bit more logic and a lot less mysticism. First up, we've got the EUR/USD pair showing a bit of a bearish tilt. The dollar's holding steady like a rock in a stream, buoyed by investors who've got their eyes glued to the upcoming Federal Reserve policy meeting. There's a bit of a buzz about geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, making investors a bit jittery and giving the dollar a bit of a boost​​. Then, there's talk about the Federal Reserve potentially pushing back against the idea of a rate cut anytime soon. This is like a plot twist in a thriller movie for the traders, who are now less convinced about a rate drop in March. The dollar, meanwhile, is flexing its muscles a bit, up by 0.19% against a basket of currencies. Across the pond, the Euro's taken a bit of a tumble, and there's chatter about when the European Central Bank might ...

Is Currency Carry Trade worth investing?

  What is Currency Carry Trade? "A strategy in which an investor sells a certain currency with a relatively low interest rate and uses the funds to purchase a different currency yielding a higher interest rate. A trader using this strategy attempts to capture the difference between the rates, which can often be substantial, depending on the amount of leverage used. " quoted from http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/currencycarrytrade.asp Value?  The value of this investment depend on the currency being used. Since most high interest currency belong to third world countries, their currency tend to be very unstable.
