My thought on USD fundamental analysis 27 March 2015

 

USD - ▼

As USA unemployment keep dropping, we are expecting a near 5% unemployment rate soon. This might be currently be the best employment data in the western countries but as the wages is not growing and job market is full of part time jobs. I will not be expecting this good low unemployment news to greatly affect USD soon.

GDP might have some good result for the month of april 2015 but I highly doubt it, the oil price is still a major issue for USA, as they had switched over to a major Oil exporter last year. This low oil price might take awhile for USA to recover, unless they find another major product to export...Gold Iphone?

Overall, I expect USD/USA data to drop abit more till around April or May, re bounce once the low unemployment rate plus real wages growth kick in, we might be able to see mid 2015 to 2016 to be a good year for USA.

For now i will stack more USD as USD drop even more.

Please be advise that forex is a high risk investment, there will be a very high chance of lost of capital.

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. For example Argentina which have an interest rate of 8.18%(at the time of this post) but due to it the 2014 Aug Default, no sane investor would consider getting this bond. If the trader get the safer developed countries currency, the interest rate tend to be lower. So in order to get the same return as third world countries, the trader would need to leve...
