USD Spread Trading Markets Fall as Gold and Crude Rise on Fed Comments

26. January 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: CFD Trading, Commodities Trading, Currency Trading, Finance, Financial Trading, Forex Trading, Personal Finance, Spread Trading

Optimism fails to recede from markets once again this morning, with European risk assets buoyed by investors’ belief that the US Fed stands ready to print should macroeconomic headwinds require.

This synthetic cornering of cash into higher-yielding assets by governmental institutions tends to attract much criticism, as the use of leverage by participants in search of a greater return can potentially create again those asset bubbles that require government support when burst.

But if the spread trading markets back the Fed, and capital not yet employed participates, then the start to this year seen so far might be just the beginning and become viewed as cheap in hindsight.

Gold continued in strength last night, trading higher than $1,710 per oz., and light crude toyed with $100 per barrel once again, with the dollar falling in sympathy.

Major Indices Spread Trading Markets Test 5 Month Highs on Successful European Debt Sales

20. January 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: CFD Trading, Finance, Personal Finance, Spread Trading

The success of yesterday’s European debt sales have at least for now kept most of current cash on the table, helping to support major indices test five-month highs in spite of a somewhat malfunctioning fiscal policies.

Spread trading investors can become increasingly self-conscious though, turning to only potentially significant negative news flows as enough of a reason to unwind cash. This comes in light of the past year where even hedge funds have struggled to beat inflation, let alone the market.

This week has been both steady and positive, lending credibility to the so-called January effect – a month where securities such as stocks experience patterns of stable buying.

But better practice is to illustrate successful bond auctions and positive US economic data and earnings to understand this hopeful start to the year.

Happily, better than expected earnings from mega-caps Bank of America and Morgan Stanley yesterday were overcast by an improvement to overall jobless claims not seen since four years ago.

At least the extent to which potential headwinds could damage markets this year are not too dissimilar from last, hopefully both policy makers and markets will be more experienced and capable this time around.

Spread Trading Investors Ignore Negative Data in Favour of NY Fed Manufacturing Index

17. January 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: CFD Trading, Finance, Financial Trading, Personal Finance, Spread Trading, Stock Market Trading

Today’s gains have been driven by very selective memory, which probably isn’t the most logical approach to trading.

There’s no doubt that the NY Fed Manufacturing Index gains were impressive, the flood of buyers keep citing that as a great reason to get involved.

Meanwhile, a blind eye is being turned to Citigroup’s poor results and the new 2 year low on Chinese productivity, both of which will arguably have a much wider-reaching impact.

The DJIA is currently +123 at 12544 and FTSE 100 +25 at 5682.
