(CEP News) - The Canadian dollar fell more than a cent against its U.S. counterpart immediately following Canada's jobs report. The Canadian dollar initially tumbled but later clawed back as rising risk appetite sparked a broad U.S. dollar selloff. It is down 0.0037 to 0.8076 against the U.S. dollar (1.2382 USD/CAD) and up 0.35 to 74.34 against the yen. StatsCan reported a record number of job losses in January with the economy shedding 129,000 jobs, sending the unemployment rate up 0.6 percentage points to 7.2%. Economists were expecting 40k job losses and 6.8% unemployment. Meny Grauman, economist at CIBC World Markets, said the pace of job losses in Canada is dizzying. "The post-war period has never seen such a large stretch of monthly job losses, and even more worrying, there is no sign that the deluge is stopping," he said. Steve Butler, director of FX trading at the Bank of Nova Scotia, said he is looking for the loonie to weaken considerably over the next few days and has a target of 1.28 by early next week. He also said it will be a matter of time before it breaks out of its current range. "This data is going to cause the markets to rethink what ...

In the FX market, you buy or sell currencies. Placing a trade in the foreign exchange market is simple: the mechanics of a trade are very similar to those found in other markets (like the stock market), so if you have any experience in trading, you should be able to pick it up pretty quickly. The object of Forex trading is to exchange one currency for another in the expectation that the price will change, so that the currency you bought will increase in value compared to the one you sold. How to Read an FX Quote Currencies are always quoted in pairs, such as GBP/USD or USD/JPY. The reason they are quoted in pairs is because in every foreign exchange transaction you are simultaneously buying one currency and selling another. Here is an example of a foreign exchange rate for the British pound versus the U.S. dollar: GBP/USD = 1.7500 The first listed currency to the left of the slash ("/") is known as the base currency (in this example, the British pound), while the second one on the right is called the counter or quote currency (in this example, the U.S. dollar). When buying, the exchange rate tells you how much you have to ...

Forex scalps is a negotiating strategy in which the trader makes dozens, or even hundreds of transactions per day, trying to catch a few snags by trade. Generally, scalpers stay in the trades of less than a minute, bolting, as soon as their position reflects a few snags. Brokers do not look kindly scalpers then, the number of times scalpers will leave a position outside the office dealing has time to process your order. This means that the brokerage had to eat the position of the scalper success will always make money, money that comes directly from the pockets of the brokerage. To avoid this conflict of interest between the scalpers and the brokerage often trade with scalpers electronic communication network (ECN) brokerage, which circumvent the office dealing with online merchants' direct exchange with one another. ECN dealers generally less than traditional methods of liquidity on brokerage desk and collect a commission for trade, but their pip spreads are narrower. To be a successful online Forex scalper, merchants must follow strict rules for managing risks. Because scalper grabs only a few seeds at a time, a big loss can wipe out dozens and dozens of careful, meticulous business. Traders must ensure the use ...

Until the mid-seventies, the major industrial economies were governed by the Bretton Woods agreement of 1944. The Bretton Woods Agreement, which was named after the venue of the international conference of the establishment of this new decree obliges participating international monetary savings to peg their currencies to the dollar, which was itself within a standard deviation of 1% of the rate prevailing in gold. The architects of the Bretton Woods agreements hopes to prevent countries from artificial devaluation of currencies to make their products more attractive on the international market, which led in part to a precipitous decline in the world economy in the years 30. The system in place, they lasted for the next three decades. Shrinking confidence in the dollar, however, lead to a new international monetary system of floating rates, which means that market forces are ordinary, rather than government intervention, would determine the value of currencies. It is from this new system that the modern Forex market was born. In a system of floating exchange rates, the market demand determine the relative value of currencies. Such a system is thought to themselves, like any inefficiency is hammered out in the market. If, for example, global demand for a currency ...

Strong consumer price of the United States of data led to a lower than expected Federal Reserve lowering interest rates, causing the biggest one-day rally in the dollar against the euro since May 2005. At the end of the day, Friday the 14th, the euro fell 1.5 percent to 1.4412, has never been so low since October. This is the third week in a row that the dollar has rallied against major currencies. Effective consumer spending reports were used in part to reduce concerns that the mortgage crisis force of the American economy into a recession, and the generalization of inflationary concerns seem to point to maintaining a conservative approach reductions in interest rates by the feds, which is more good news for the greenback. Many analysts are now predicting the dollar rally will continue in the short term, fingering 1.43-or 1.40-that the reasonable levels of support. In addition, there was an increase in the chorus of voices saying that the dollar will rebound in 2008, due to the decrease in budget and trade deficits. If we have reason to believe that the Fed will be conservative in cutting interest rates, this will lead to increased appetite for international investment in the ...
