			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are trading the forex markets then a big concern will be growth forecasts and indications of when the various central bank stimulus packages will end. Growth has returned to the US, mainland Europe and is expected to return soon to the UK.Looking the forex markets, the US Dollar has been out of favour for a good deal of 2009. More recently, ratings agency Fitch announced that the UK’s sovereign credit rating is at risk when compared to other top-rates countries. That ‘opinion’ helped push down Sterling. Having said that, Sterling has remained fairly resilient, the general consensus seems to be that, out of the MPC, ECB and Federal Reserve, the UK will be the first to move interest rates higher next year. An increase in interest rates will naturally support Sterling.But where and how to take advantage of these market movements? A spread bet is one option that offer a solution which covers tax free* trading and quick access to global markets.      </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Millions of people are currently involved in the business of trading foreign currencies; this is called the foreign exchange market. This financial market is considered as the world&#8217;s largest market; wherever currency is used this market is present. This has led to an estimated four trillion dollars worth of trade each day as estimated by the Bank of International Settlement. However, being able to capitalize on the grand opportunities in this market is difficult. Many traders would attest to the fact that your odds of being successful in currency trading are very low and you would most probably end up losing money. If you are willing to risk it, then you must first learn how to analyze the forex market. </p>
<p>Analyzing the forex market comes in two ways; one is to use the fundamentals to know where and what to trade the other is to use technical analysis. In the former, you would use political, economic, interest and government issues in order to predict the prices of the market in the future. Contrary to this, the second and more common way to analyze the market is to use technical analysis which deals with statistical data and the emotions of the trader. The trader would determine the price by looking at the past or the history of a given currency. Since it is believed that history would always repeat itself, the predictions of the trader would be based on the past performance of the currency as well as other statistical data so that he or she can make the appropriate trades. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so many advantages or benefits of trading in the foreign exchange market but these advantages do not come for free. The trader must work his way to success and learn his way continuously too. The currency trading is such a risky business that those who dare enter it without much of a weapon in terms of skills just lose their money. </p>
<p>Before anyone can start becoming successful at forex trading, he should first know the following: </p>
<p>* What the structure of the market is and how the currencies are going to be affected </p>
<p>* How currency prices are determined </p>
<p>* What factors affect the value of the currencies </p>
<p>* Where to get the most updated information on the status or condition of the international currencies </p>
<p>* What tools are there that can help the trader become more organized and therefore, more successful at the forex trading arena. </p>
<p>* How risky is risky in currency trading? </p>
<p>* What are the patterns in the market movement? How does one analyze the economic situations that affect trading values. </p>
<p>You see, investing your money into foreign exchange trading is no easy task. It is not the quick solution for easy money. Money to be earned via forex is hardly easy because there are tons to learn along the way. </p>
<p>Nobody can really proceed with his career in the forex market unless he learns to master the basic concepts and apply them correctly during his actual trading activities. </p>
<p>It would help to become regularly updated about all things economical, and even social because these affect the behavior of the world market. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the light of recent major crises and pegged exchange rate regimes associated with them, there has been growing support for the view that such regimes will not be viable for any lengthy period of time, particularly for countries highly integrated with international capital markets. The proponents of this view argued that pegs could not be maintained under high capital mobility unless the country makes an irrevocable commitment to the peg (as in hard peg regimes) and is prepared to support it with necessary policies and institutions. The only feasible alternative to such commitment would be to float, putting the country under the discipline of the markets on a continuous basis. Hard peg commitments or floating regimes hence have been argued to be the only regimes compatible with increased capital mobility.Following this logic during the last decade of the 20th century introduction of hard peg regimes as a way to stabilize the economy has become increasingly popular. Large number of countries has adopted CBA regimes or became part of currency unions. In the aftermath of the Asian crisis, hard pegs, especially currency boards have become increasingly popular. The main argument for this rests on the need to make monetary policy credible: if credibility of monetary policy at home could not be built, the argument seems to be to import it by fixing the value of the currency. Besides, when implemented simultaneously with trade liberalization, one of the authorities&#8217; objectives has been to impel sectors exposed to external competition to increase their competitiveness, since it will no longer be possible to protect their market share through devaluations of the local currency. </p>
<p>We further discuss these exchange rate arrangements and their special features in relation to the banking crises. </p>
<p>According to IMF, CBA regimes established in the second half of the 20th century could be divided into two main categories based on the reasons of CBA adoption. Argentina (1991), Bulgaria (1997), Estonia (1992), Hong Kong (1983), and Lithuania (1994) introduced CBA in response to an economic crisis.  Countries in the second category – Brunei Darussalam (1967), Djibouti (1949), and member countries of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (1965) established CBA because of the limited expertise in monetary management. All the CBA countries, except the ECCB countries, have experienced at least one banking crisis during the last two decades of the 20th century (Santiprabhob 1997).CBA and Banking systemsA hard peg in general and CBA regime in particular, strongly limits the ability of the monetary authorities to extend domestic credit. Adoption of CBA implies making the objective of defending the exchange rate parity the top priority by allowing interest rates to change accordingly. This may prove efficient for stabilization policies and containing inflation but bad for bank stability. Under CBA domestic financial system is left without lender of last resort and this may lead to the possibility of self-fulfilling bank runs. </p>
<p>As part of the adjustment mechanism banks in CBA countries face higher interest rate volatility and therefore a risk of insolvency.  So the price of low inflation under hard pegs is increased financial instability and fragility.  To be able to withstand shocks caused by volatility many CBA countries impose strict prudential regulations and supervision, such as higher risk-based capital adequacy ratios (Argentina, Hong Kong, Lithuania). Because the reserve currency and the domestic currency share a similar risk under a CBA, the foreign exchange exposure limits in these countries exclude their reserve currency from computation (Santiprabhob 1997).    </p>
<p>As we showed earlier, the proponents of CBA point out that fixed exchange rates under CBA are less vulnerable to speculative attacks than those of the conventional pegged exchange rate regimes (Santiprabhob 1997). However if there is the belief that authorities may chose to devalue the currency rather than allow a sharp increase in interest rates speculative attack may occur and destroy the banking system. An attack can also be triggered by the public belief that there is need for the currency depreciation to restore the country&#8217;s competitiveness. </p>
<p>The main deficiency of a hard peg is that it involves moral hazard mentioned earlier in the text. The protection against exchange rate risks encourages large amounts of unhedged foreign denominated liabilities which pose a big threat on the peg to be abandoned. Moreover, protection against exchange rate risks may prompt domestic banks to issue debt nominated in foreign currency because of confidence that government assumes responsibility for a bail out in case of devaluation. </p>
<p>One of the arguments against hard pegs is that the country willing to introduce the hard peg should be very careful when choosing the foreign currency it is going to peg the domestic currency to (or abandon domestic currency in case of dollarization). The potential misalignment between nominal exchange rate and the one in accordance with the economic fundamentals makes the case for more flexibility in the exchange rate. However, some authors argue that under fixed exchange rate regimes taxes and subsidies on imports and exports can be used instead to change the real effective exchange rate and thus to maintain country&#8217;s competitiveness – so-called fiscal devaluation as opposed to nominal devaluation, which fiscal authorities can only use up to a certain limit because of growing tax evasion. But timely and effective implementation of this scheme is again dependent on the soundness of fiscal institutions. </p>
<p>Hard exchange rate peg is also believed to promote foreign trade and economic integration. Foreign trade apart from promoting economic growth makes country less vulnerable to sudden stops of foreign currency inflows: if domestic exporters get their revenues in foreign currency they become more protected in the case that currency depreciations occur. CredibilitySince 1980s the debate around choice of exchange rate regime has focused on its implications for policy credibility. Since stabilization objectives were crucial in decisions concerning the adoption of CBAs, their fixed exchange rate and the backing rule need to be credible to maintain efficient operation of CBA. It is transparency and observability that make CBAs so appealing to unstable emerging market economies. They require soundly supervised banks and prudent fiscal policies. However, if the ability of developing countries to build institutions and govern themselves soundly is being questioned, then this undermines the whole case for hard pegs. In other words, if the country can make itself credible in the eyes of investors and markets, then why to opt for a hard peg? The credibility of a hard peg can also be harmed by the fact that such an exchange rate regime makes it easier for governments to borrow necessary funds from abroad and therefore run more lax fiscal policies and delay reforms. </p>
<p>Credibility of the CBA may be undermined in case of weak banking system because of the speculations that authorities may opt to forego the CBA&#8217;s fixed exchange rate and backing rule to bail out the banking system if problems arise. Thus, weak banking system is detrimental to the CBA. Moreover, the credibility may also be undermined by the existence of unsound banks which slow the pace of interest rate convergence and financial intermediation (Santiprabhob 1997). Weak financial intermediation prevents the authorities from achieving targeted levels of credit to the private sector and results in worse than planned economic performance. And the latter may cause policy makers to abandon the CBA and try to improve economic performance by devaluing the currency. </p>
<p>Since high inflation volatility makes the assessment of credit risk a complicated undertaking and management of bank portfolio difficult, it proves to be one of the major factors behind banking crises.  To avoid this and maintain low inflation the authorities introducing CBA should choose the stable currency of one of its major trading partners as adopting country&#8217;s reserve currency. </p>
<p>Despite in theory lender of last resort facilities are not available under CBA, monetary authorities of almost all of the countries with CBA (except Brunei Darussalam and Djibouti) had explicit lender of last resort facilities, such as liquidity support from note-issuing banks in Hong Kong, Lombard credit at a penalty rate against collateral of government securities from the central bank in Bulgaria, rediscounts and advances from the central bank in Argentina. The lender of last resort facilities may be enabled by the reduction of the reserve requirements and increasing the amount of excess foreign exchange during financial distress. However, it is also argued that maintaining a war chest in liquid form may be too costly: for a country whose M2 (currency in circulation plus demand and savings deposits in banks) is two-thirds of its GDP, to keep half of it in time-deposit in Zurich (where such deposits pay 50 basis points below LIBOR), while its own domestic interest rates are 2.5 percent above LIBOR, means the net cost of holding the war chest is one percent of GDP. In addition, the need to maintain excess foreign exchange implies a narrower scope for backing rule. This explains why some CBA countries chose not to back all their monetary liabilities with foreign assets. While some countries retain the possibility for the lender of last resort to bail out financial system in times of financial distress, it has also been argued that in emerging market economies central bank lending to the banking system &#8220;is likely to unleash fears of an inflationary explosion and produce a sharp exchange rate depreciation. Coupled with significant liability dollarization depreciation can have adverse effect on domestic private sector balance sheets and aggravate financial instability. This means that for a lender of last resort interference not to be destabilizing, the authorities&#8217; fiscal policies should be credible which, as mentioned earlier, is very hard to achieve. </p>
<p>It is also argued that foreign ownership of domestic banks could alleviate the problem of bank insolvency as branches are able to resort to their headquarters for liquidity support. But putting whole financial system&#8217;s health on that conjecture seems to be too risky.Calcagno, Manuelito, Titelman (2003) argue that for countries subject to external financial shocks and a worldwide export and import structure intermediate exchange rate regimes are a better options rather than free floating or hard peg. Inflation reduction in such countries as Argentina (CBA) and Ecuador (dollarization) led to deterioration in the relation between tradable and non-tradable goods and services, adversely affecting their external sector. They proceed with arguing that hard peg regimes increase the external sector&#8217;s influence over domestic economy. In the world of liberalized capital markets and times of easy foreign credit, emerging economies with hard peg regimes experienced large inflows of foreign capital (made possible by commitment to maintain exchange rate, i.e. low currency risks), which led to high external indebtedness and rising interest and income payments. The absence of a sustained pace of export growth jeopardized the future viability of the convertibility scheme and served to undermine public confidence in the sustainability of the regime. Under the increased pressure on the domestic currency the rise in the interest rates does not lead to foreign exchange inflows because the country already is overly indebted. Moreover, the rise in the interest rates brings about banking sector problems as they find large part of their loans nonperforming. The limitations that hard peg regimes impose on lender of last resort activities facilitate the spread of insolvency to the banking system as a whole. Therefore, &#8220;the strategy to stick to the basic rules of convertibility in the hope of a renewal of confidence and the achievement of an automatic adjustment only aggravated the crisis&#8221;. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ALCOA (AA), this is the bell weather sign that earnings are upon us again. AA is the first major component of the DOW to report and it is the unofficial signal that the earnings cycle has started. The fact is that earnings never stop and while the numbers may dwindle to a trickle at times there are companies reporting constantly. But now we will see a swell of daily reporting that builds to as many as 3-400 per day over the next two weeks and then it will peak and drop off again sharply. Not all exciting companies report during this time. The brokers shook the up the markets in mid September and RIMM has often rocked the trading world like it did last Monday but in general, most of the companies you know will report over the next three weeks.The reporting excitement has an overall effect on the market and while companies can benefit from reporting good information while everyone is watching, the earnings cycle can also work against them if they get caught up in a list 300 companies reporting that day. Also a couple high profile companies can influence the market for a day or two and others will be swept along with the momentum regardless of what their earnings were. Tough to report good news on a bad day.So, some ideas on how to play the market during the earnings season;First &#8211; find out what day your company is going to report. This is not as easy as it may seem. It is possible to get several different dates on different reporting sites. Companies make adjustments to their schedules and sites may or may not be updated. The best way to verify is to call the company investor relations department. In Dedicated Trader there is a phone number listed in Company Profile. It will usually get you to a person who will (by law) give you the most accurate update of the earnings report date. You may have to work through a person or two to get the data but just ask clearly to know when the earnings are being released for the quarter. For this article I selected General Electric (GE). I went to Dedicated Trader and called 203 373 2211, the receptionist referred me to 800 786 2543 for Investor Relations. The nice young man had to ask a supervisor to verify that it will be October 25th. Now that I knew for sure I could look at a strategy for playing GE&#8217;s earnings or I could make sure I was not sitting (unaware) in a GE option position on the day the earnings were released.Second &#8211; Time of day is very important to traders. The young man could not tell me what time of the day the data would be released. I was given another number (800 242 0134) where another nice man verified that it is always after the market close for GE. This is quite common for a company to have a standing policy for release time but it is not guaranteed. Lately there have been a number of companies with accounting problems and that can cause reporting to be delayed. The release time allows you to position earnings plays correctly. If a company releases after market, plays can be put together during the day before release and sensitive to the days movements going into the close. Before market open is interesting because after market trading can tip the scales but your decision had to be made the day before so you get to feel the anxiety (good or bad) as you watch the price movement prior to open.      </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the world of currency trading through the largest financial market in the world know as the foreign exchange market, there are more people who end up losing their money and wasting their time compared to the number of people who are able to make good money out of it. As a matter of fact, 95% of all traders lose their money, 4% are able to profit and a mere 1% are able to become rich. </p>
<p>The foreign exchange market, or more commonly known as the forex market, is filled with opportunities for the trader with over 4 trillion dollars worth of daily trade. But to take advantage of these opportunities and improve your odds in making money, you must first understand the market and more importantly, the signs it will show you. There are different signs and signals to look out for in the market charts and being able to use this to your advantage would require you to first learn technical analysis. </p>
<p>There are two ways to analyze the market charts; the first one involves basing your trades on the different factors which can affect the market. Such factors include the economy of the country, political state and inflation rates; this is called fundamental analysis. The second analysis involves the history of the market itself which is called forex technical analysis. This is based upon the principle that history repeats itself. Technical analysis is a crucial skill to learn in order to fully grasp and understand the market so you can improve your odds in trading. </p>
