One of the major Forex brokers available to individual investors.

“Serving customers in 100 countries worldwide, GFT also works with referring parties that introduce new traders to GFT and its services. GFT also offers private “white labeling” of its software for companies who are looking to build their own brand in the market.

Global Forex Trading
( This RSS Feed: http://www.gftforex.com/rss/weekly.asp )
The excesses of this unfinished decade are being rectified aggressively, and the pendulum is swinging hard from high-flying over-leveraged free for all trading to the other pole. The VIX has soared to record highs while rumors fuel panic. The high volatility permeated the FX markets as well, but not the panic of a bleak future that affects stocks. As the US financial system is shrinking, the need for dollars remains high, and this demand reversed a long-term downtrend for the US currency. Our economy might be in a shambles and the carry-trade dead, but the dollar, ironically, should remain strong. Enjoy it, with extreme care!
The financial crisis has only started and the wild gyrations in the stock markets may provide better levels to liquidate stocks. Hedge funds and pensions funds will probably face further distress. The outlook is extremely grim. But we focus on currencies, and this is and will remain the island of profitability for months and probably longer. The dollar should remain strong in the medium to long term, especially versus the European and the commodity currencies. But this week, the US currency could see some consolidation with a bearish tone.
The crisis affecting the financial markets, especially in the US, is unprecedented. The house of cards built over many years on unreasonably cheep money, financial fraud, power abuse and lack of competent regulation has been blown away. The force of gravity always works, even if it takes longer than normal to assert itself. Those responsible for this historical disaster will remain largely unpunished and most of them will actually be rewarded. And so it goes. With the appetite for risk annihilated, the European and the commodity currencies were sold in panic against the Japanese yen. Barin
The demand for funding out of Europe and ongoing liquidation of yen crosses pushed the dollar sharply higher versus the European currencies last week. While profit taking should be seen this week, the outlook for the currency remains strong. The risk to it is the equity markets, which have fallen sharply and should sink further, despite the no short-selling rule for financial stocks.
With the US financial world topsy turvy and with its jewels up for sale at fire prices all eyes on Monday will be on the US Congress and its political games in ratifying the Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). This is not the time for games and details are very important. The money market is broken and on this milieu, currencies took a back seat to other asset classes. The dollar is lacking much direction, but given the illiquid trading conditions and the ratification of the TARP, its bias is up.

Sterling expected to recover faster in currency tradingRecently, the U.K. pound has been taking a beating at the hands of the U.S. dollar and the euro in forex trading. However, things are changing -- at least in terms of sterling currency trading performance against the euro.
Right now, the big worry for the euro zone is deflation. As a result, euro weakness in forex trading is becoming more pronounced. It is this weakness that is prompting many to speculate that the British economy will recover before the euro zone economy.
This belief that the British economy will soon recover is spurring gains by the sterling in currency trading, and sending the euro lower.

Recession cuts into investments in emerging marketsEmerging market currencies are suffering in FX trading on the currency market right now. As global recession forces wealthier nations and investors to make new decisions, overseas investments in emerging markets are decreasing.
Another factor is the riskiness of emerging market currencies. In forex trading, emerging markets represent greater risk, and that means that in the current climate of risk aversion, many traders are turning to the tried-and-true currencies of developed nations.
As emerging market currencies falter in FX trading, such currencies as the U.S. dollar continue to rally, since they are seen as more stable over the long run.
See Also
Weaker euro in currency tradingThe euro forex trading forecast continues to show weakness on the currency market, especially against the U.S. dollar. Right now, the euro is mainly in trouble as worries of deflation become paramount.
Just a couple of weeks ago, ECB leaders insisted that things were moving toward recovery in the euro zone. With optimism, they talked of the end of monetary easing. However, the prospect of deflation is ending that speculation. Now, some expect that more ECB rate cuts are in the future.
This stands in contrast with the U.S. economy, which is looking forward with hope toward economic stimulus when Barack Obama takes office later this month. The euro forex trading forecast can't seem to compete with what people expect from the U.S. dollar.
See Also
Forex trading with the greenbackThe U.S. dollar rally continues in currency trading on the FX market. Hope of economic stimulus continues to help in forex trading as the greenback moves higher on optimism about where the U.S. economy is headed.
Right now, the greenback is mostly up against other major currencies (the Canadian dollar being an exception). Even with oil prices gaining, the greenback remains strong against the euro in forex trading.
See Also
Rising oil helps loonie in currency tradingThe Canadian dollar is gaining in forex trading right now, rising for the first time in quite a while. One of the main reasons that the loonie is seeing some measure of success in currency trading comes from rising oil prices.
With supply back in focus for oil prices, $50 a barrel has been breached. The Canadian dollar, as a commodity currency, relies heavily on oil revenues for support. Indeed, early in 2008 the loonie saw parity with the U.S. dollar in currency trading, thanks to higher oil prices.
It is uncertain how far this rally will extend for the Canadian dollar in forex trading, but for now things appear to be looking up for now.

Currency trading on the FX marketAs the New Year begins, many of us are thinking about resolutions, and making plans to improve things in the coming year. One of those areas could certainly be forex trading. Here are some possibilities for forex trading resolutions in 2009:
- Learn a forex trading strategy -- and use it consistently.
- Make use of stop loss orders.
- Consider fundamentals as well as technical analysis.
And, of course, it is important to remember as a New Year begins that forex trading is risky. While you can make money with currency trading, it is also possible to lose it.

Aussie, kiwi gain in currency tradingAfter finishing strong on Friday in FX trading, down under currencies are again making gains. In forex trading, things are looking better for the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar as commodities start their recovery and risk appetite increases, thanks to the news about the U.S. dollar and the U.S. economy.
The Aussie and the kiwi are both seeing some recovery, but we will see how long it lasts. Bloomberg reports on the Aussie and kiwi in currency trading:
“The Aussie and the kiwi dollars have continued from their strong finish on Friday night due to an improved risk environment and some optimism for equity inflows,” said Robert Rennie, chief currency strategist at Westpac Banking Corp. in Sydney, referring to the currencies by their nicknames. “The deteriorating situation in Israel also has the potential to boost crude prices.” See Also
Sterling ticks higher in currency tradingOne of the more surprising bits of news on the currency market this morning is the fact that the U.K. pound is making gains against the euro in forex trading.
Indeed, euro weakness on the FX market is not just affecting its performance against the U.S. dollar; the sterling is making in gains in currency trading against the euro.
Right now, the gains by the U.K. pound against the euro in forex trading are mostly being attributed to the announcement that the British government is considering a guarantee for asset-backed securities. The move is expected to help to a certain degree. Additionally, an interest rate cut by the Bank of England is expected this week.
See Also
Euro interest rate cut expectedRight now, euro weakness in forex trading could be worth more attention that the continued U.S. dollar rally. This is because the euro zone appears to be threatened on a number of levels by economic data.
Right now, deflation is one of the major concerns for the euro in forex trading. Instead of holding steady -- or even raising -- when it comes to euro zone interest rates, cuts are back on the table. Action Forex reports on the euro in forex trading:
Euro's rally in Dec was fueled by speculation that ECB will pause rate cutting in Jan but markets are getting increasingly doubtful on this. More Euro long positions are closed after ECB Vice-President Papademo's comment that deflation is becoming a convern and ECB will "do what is necessary, in terms of the timing and in terms of the size (of interest rate policy action) to ensure that price stability is preserved."

Greenback surges against euro in forex tradingThe U.S. dollar is making solid gains in currency trading on the FX market this morning. The greenback is surging against the euro in forex trading as news of President-elect Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan inspires some optimism for the U.S. economy. Indeed, there is a certain amount of bullishness for the U.S. dollar right now, due to hopes for the future. (After all, no matter how bad things get for the U.S. economy, chances are that everyone else is worse off...)
Expectations that the U.S. economy could begin recovering in the latter part of 2009 are prompting a return to some risk appetite (albeit somewhat cautiously) and providing a reason for investment in some riskier assets. (U.S. stocks, however, remain mixed this morning.)
The main points that Obama addressed for economic stimulus include:
- Rebuilding America's crumbling infrastructure.
- Investing in renewable energy and technology.
- Tax cuts.
The first two items are meant to encourage job growth and stymie the growing unemployment rate. Job loss continues to help fuel the foreclosure crisis and contribute to lower consumer spending. The third item, tax cuts, are designed to provide more money for consumers so that they will spend it, turning the wheels of the economy.
