 | Money In Motion: Currency Trading
The Pain in Spain
It's remarkable how quickly sentiment can change. This past Monday saw the completion of a crucial bond payment for Greek debt holders, and the event occurred without so much as a mention. What happened? Just a couple weeks ago market participants would have cheered on such a peaceful resolution. Yet the event passed, and the Euro is lower against a number of other major currencies. Some traders say part of the reason could be investor apprehension about Spain and Italy. Quietly, yields on Spanish and Italian debt have headed higher. So why the sudden concern now? Well, some currency traders point to next Friday's budget talks in Spain, where the government is expected to present its fiscal plan. Some traders worry that if cuts aren't severe, a downgrade could lurk in the near future. Either way, it is sure to bring Europe's debt crisis back in focus and could provide a great trading catalyst. Our pros will break it down.
What China Slowdown?
Plus, stocks and risk currencies have taken a breather in recent sessions as concerns about a slowing China have outweighed hopes of a recovering U.S. economy. But fear not. In a concept that would make any Hallmark add executive green with envy, the Chinese government is getting ready to roll out its first National Consumption month. As the title implies, the goal is to get people shopping in April. (Just imagine if it were that easy here). As Barclays recently noted, consumer confidence is on the mend, and it seems only a matter of time before actual retail sales follow. Will this "holiday" be the catalyst to put risk on, back on? We will tell you and give you the currency trade that could make you money.
When Is The Dollar Gonna Rally?
And stocks have rallied. Bond yields have exploded. So when is the dollar gonna move higher in earnest? It's a question that has confounded currency traders and investors alike. But our pros have some answers, and will tell you how they are playing a possible rally.
That's all coming up tomorrow in an exciting addition of Money in Motion, Currency Trading.
