 | Money In Motion: Currency Trading
The Fiscal Cliff and the Dollar
In the United States, the focus for traders has been clear – it's all about the fiscal cliff, and the congressional negotiations to resolve it. Thus far, the dollar and the S&P have continued to be negatively correlated, so bad news from Congress has been good news for the greenback. But do people really believe that going off the cliff would be dollar-positive? We'll have that debate, and tell you how currencies can help protect your portfolio from the worst.
The Jobs Report
Next week, we will see the first jobs numbers since Obama's reelection, and economists aren't expecting anything spectacular. The consensus expectation is for 105,000 new jobs, but some expect no additional jobs at all. So what would a surprisingly big number mean for risk currencies? We'll discuss, and give you your best way to trade the payrolls.
Gold to $2000?
Finally: Is gold headed to $2000? It might not feel likely given this week's trading action, but that's just what Bank of America's top gold man is predicting., and he'll tell us why it's still in the cards despite the looming fiscal cliff.
