Deciphering The Brexit Conundrum
The campaign for the future of Britain’s involvement in the EU, kicked off officially on Thursday April 14th. Speculators have already flooded the markets with bets. They are primarily betting against the British Pound, which should bear the brunt of the turmoil. It seems that traders are quite confident that Britain will leave the EU. Although this might seem like a sound assessment, given the anti-immigration sentiment in Europe in general, there is reason to believe that logic will prevail. British voters are more likely to reject Brexit than to embrace it. read more…
Bears Settling In Japan
The Japanese stock exchange had a good run until 2016. Since the beginning of the year, foreign investors have been pulling their funds out of the country according to reports in Bloomberg. Anyone could have conflated the downturn since the beginning of the year with the general market rout in every stock exchange that took place since the beginning of the year. However, it seems that the Japanese economy is heading for another round of stagnation after a brief respite. read more…
Oil Glut Easing?
The price of oil surged during March, gaining about 50%. However, so far during the month of April, its price has been stagnant. Crude has almost flat lined since its March surge, oscillating largely between $36 and $40 USD per barrel. This would suggest that all the talk about the oversupply being absorbed, ran into a barrier. However many experts have suggested that this behavior can be largely due to speculation, the OPEC-Russia supply deals and interest rates in the US. In fact, some analysts have been even more bullish on oil, arguing that the assumptions made by the IEA on the supply and demand of oil have skewed the data. read more…
The Binary Options Wolf Den
The binary options industry has always been an industry dominated by dubious organizations. Just recently we have been seeing more and more efforts to expose the overwhelming amount of scammers that run it. Governmental organizations and financial regulators across the globe have been actively looking for the wolves who are running all the scamming activities. It seems that these wolves are particularly crafty and they have been able to avoid legal sanctions with unparalleled guile. read more…
Binary Options as Investing, Gambling or Career
Binary options trading is marketed in three ways. The purpose of this post is to explore the different marketing strategies and to see if they are legitimate.
Binary Options as a Career
Unfortunately many online marketers prey on the unemployed or the underpaid and present Binary Options as a get rich quick scheme. In typical infomercial fashion they tell stories of how you can make a great living trading binary options after buying this product or signing with this broker or watching a few training videos. I don’t like using the phrase binary options scam because that implies cheating or lying. Theoretically what these campaigns describe are possible, they are just extremely unlikely. Most of the people targeted in these ads have very little patience and money to spend. These types of promotions are a last resort for people. They need to make a fast change in their life. Most of the time these customers make their initial deposit, lose their money and move on. read more…
Financial Markets – Preview for Week Starting 10th April 2016
Major Events of Last Week
The global financial markets succeeded in recovering last Friday after enduring a particularly grueling and volatile week. The primary catalyst behind the late rebound was unquestionably a significant surge in oil prices. Nevertheless, many of the world’s premier stock indices still registered their fourth consecutive weekly decline by posting their longest losing sequence since the autumn of 2014. One of the most noteworthy features of last week’s trading was the dramatic rally of the Yen, which not only totally surprised investors but immediately increased the prospects of an imminent Japanese intervention in the currency markets. The topmost US indices produced variable results last Friday epitomized by the Dow Jones Industrial Average edging 10 point higher; the S&P500 rising by 1 point and the NASDAQ dropping by almost 11 points. read more…
