Переслать - The Dollar: Short-Term Rebalancing Of Expectations, Long Term Risk
Recent price action in the foreign exchange market in our estimation is a function of a short-term rebalancing in expectations of global growth and demand for commodities.

Although, the late … [visit site to read more]

Переслать - Both Sides Of Currency ETFs
Currency exchange traded funds (ETFs) have grown extremely popular as investors look for some shelter from the recent whipsaws of the stock market. These ETFs are usually less volatile and show longer, more defined trends than stock indexes.

Переслать - Trading Desks And Hedge Funds Have Plenty Of Cash On Hand To Pick Each Other's Pockets.
Trading desks and hedge funds have plenty of cash on hand to pick each other's pockets. This is happened today in my opinion especially with financials which have become "trading" vehicles. After some days of decline it was time to squeeze whatever short sellers were bold enough to carry positions for more than a couple of days.
The main story remains the decline in energy and other key commodities coupled with a rising dollar. This is stimulating equity bulls who then … [visit site to read more]

Переслать - Bargain Hunting In The Canadian Energy Market
By Jennifer Yousfi
With oil down more than 20% from its record high, Canadian energy stocks have been beaten down to more affordable levels. But as concerns over demand and refining margins grow, it can be hard to determine which Canadian energy stocks are still viable profit plays.
