Euro down against dollar at $1.2274

On Wednesday May 26, 2010, 4:08 am EDT

BERLIN (AP) -- The euro is down slightly against the dollar amid ongoing worries that the debt crisis in Europe will hurt growth in coming years.

The 16-nation common currency bought $1.2274 in early Wednesday trading, down from the $1.2315 it traded at in New York overnight.

The euro has dropped about 15 percent this year to 4-year lows over fears that eurozone countries will have trouble handling their debt and that austerity measures will weigh on their recovery.

A leading German survey showed Wednesday that such uncertainty is weighing on consumer confidence in Europe's largest economy.

Elsewhere, the British pound continued its slide to $1.4342 from $1.4366, while the dollar bought 90.06 Japanese yen, down again from 90.15 yen.

Commodities prices end mixed as dollar rises

Commodities prices finish mixed after concerns about Goldman Sachs stoke demand for dollar

On Monday April 19, 2010, 6:30 pm

NEW YORK (AP) -- Commodity prices ended mixed after investors dumped risky assets following the government's charges against Goldman Sachs.

Concern about what the case against Goldman might mean for financial industry profits hurt markets for much of the day. That fed a demand for the dollar.

"People go into the dollar short-term as a risk-aversion play," said Rich Ilczyszyn, a commodities analyst at Lind-Waldock.

The SEC on Friday said Goldman didn't tell clients about conflicts of interest in mortgage investments it sold. Goldman has said it would fight the charges.

The ICE Futures US dollar index, which measures the dollar against a basket of currencies, rose 0.1 percent. Most commodities are priced in dollars. The stronger dollar drives up prices for foreign buyers and hurts demand.

Investors also placed bets that demand for resources would fall following the eruption of a volcano in Iceland that has halted air travel in much of Europe. There is also concern that it could hurt an economic rebound.

"Initially, it starts with energy but then it probably goes across the board," Ilczyszyn said, referring to concerns about economic problems from the eruption. "You start seeing profit-taking in, you know, gold and everything else."

Gold for June delivery fell $1.10 to settle at $1,135.80 an ounce.

Benchmark crude for May delivery fell $1.79 to settle at $81.45 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It fell $2.27 on Friday.

In other Nymex trading, heating oil for May delivery fell 6.01 cents to settle at $2.1568 a gallon. Gasoline fell 2.26 cents to close at $2.2544 a gallon. Natural gas dropped 9.5 cents to $3.944 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Wheat fell 23 cents to settle at $4.795 a bushel. Soybeans fell 8.5 cents to $9.865 a bushel. Corn fell 16.75 cents to $3.5725 a bushel.

Silver for May delivery rose 5.6 cents to settle at $17.731 an ounce. Copper rose 2.20 cents to $3.5190 a pound.

Dollar falls as Greece sells bonds, Alcoa misses

Dollar falls as Greece holds successful bond auction, Alcoa 1Q revenue disappoints

Symbol	Price	Change
AA	14.25	-0.32

On Tuesday April 13, 2010, 10:15 am EDT

NEW YORK (AP) -- A successful Greek bond sale and disappointing start to the U.S. earnings season sent the dollar lower Tuesday against other major currencies.

The 16-nation euro edged up to $1.3594 in morning trading in New York from $1.3589 late Monday.

On Monday, the euro jumped to $1.3691, its highest point in a month, bolstered by a European pledge to make $40.5 billion in loans available to Greece this year if needed.

On Tuesday, Greece raised euro1.56 billion, or about $2.1 billion, in an oversubscribed bond auction although interest rates remained high. Greece is struggling with borrowing costs that remain far above those of Germany as investors still see risk of default.

UBS analyst Manuel Oliveri said the bond auction was a good sign, and Greek borrowing costs will drop further as markets absorb the aid plan. That should propel the euro higher against the dollar in the near future, he said. Debt problems in Greece and other European countries have driven the euro from above $1.51 last November to below $1.33 just last week.

The dollar wasa also hurt after aluminum producer Alcoa Inc. on Monday posted first-quarter revenue that was less than analysts had expected. Alcoa is the first major U.S. company to report first-quarter results. Its performance may foreshadow outcomes for other major U.S. businesses expected to report over the next few weeks.

The British pound rose to $1.5420 from $1.5378, while the dollar fell to 92.80 Japanese yen from 93.24 yen. The dollar slipped to 1.0572 Swiss francs from 1.0591 francs, and dipped to 1.0027 Canadian dollars from 1.0034 Canadian dollars

Meanwhile, the Commerce Department said the U.S. trade deficit widened 7.4 percent in February to $39.7 billion as imports increased faster than exports. The deficit was wider than economists had expected, while the U.K. posted a narrower-than-expected deficit and Canada a larger-than-expected surplus.

Euro edges up to $1.3365

Euro gains a little relief from downward slide, edges up to $1.3365

On Friday April 9, 2010, 2:53 am EDT

BERLIN (AP) -- The euro is slightly higher after sliding for several days on new worries about Greece's debt woes.

The shared European currency edged up to $1.3365 in early European trading Friday from $1.3353 in New York late Thursday.

Greece's borrowing costs have spiked to a record high this week, raising doubts about the effectiveness of a financial rescue plan. However, European Central Bank president Jean-Claude Trichet insisted Thursday that default was "not an issue" for the country.

The British pound was barely changed Friday. It bought $1.5275, compared with $1.5274 the previous evening.

The dollar climbed to 93.53 Japanese yen from 93.40 yen.

Euro edges down to $1.3371

Euro edges lower against dollar amid ongoing Greek debt worries, buys $1.3371

On Wednesday April 7, 2010, 2:57 am EDT

BERLIN (AP) -- The euro has edged a little lower against the dollar amid a new round of market jitters over Greece's debt crisis.

The 16-nation euro bought $1.3371 in early European trading Wednesday -- a bit below the $1.3396 it traded at in New York the previous evening.

The euro dropped Tuesday as Greece's borrowing costs shot up following a report, later strongly denied, that Athens wanted to revise a deal providing for a European and International Monetary Fund rescue to prevent a default.

IMF inspectors are due in Athens Wednesday to review progress in government austerity cuts.

The British pound drifted down to $1.5251 from $1.5277, a day after Prime Minister Gordon Brown called an election for May 6.

The dollar crept up to 93.92 Japanese yen from 93.87 yen.

Dollar dips below parity with Canadian dollar

Dollar rises on euro, but dips below parity with Canadian dollar for 1st time since mid-2008

Tali Arbel, AP Business Writer, On Tuesday April 6, 2010, 11:14 am EDT

NEW YORK (AP) -- The dollar jumped versus the euro Tuesday on concerns over aid to Greece, but was briefly worth less than the Canadian currency for the first time since July 2008.

Greek borrowing costs soared as investors worried that a European bailout plan involving the International Monetary Fund could fall apart.

The 16-nation euro dropped to $1.3368 in morning trading in New York from $1.3486 late Monday. Investors are worried that a European bailout plan involving the IMF will not be able to contain the country's debt problems after reports that Greek officials want to try to avoid the IMF's involvement -- a crucial part of the plan. Greek officials on Tuesday denied that Greece was seeking to revise the debt deal.

Debt woes in European countries, particularly Greece, have pushed the euro down from above $1.51 in late November.

The Canadian currency, meanwhile, has gotten a boost from rising energy prices. Canada is a major exporter of oil, and crude prices are circling 18-month highs. Canada also has one of the smallest budget deficits of the major economies.

The dollar dropped as low as 99.92 Canadian cents Tuesday. That's the first time the U.S. currency has dropped below parity with its Canadian counterpart since July 2008. In later morning trading in New York, the dollar fetched 1.0003 Canadian dollars, down from 1.0031 Canadian dollars late Monday.

The sharp gains in the Canadian currency may cause the Bank of Canada to threaten to intervene in foreign exchange markets, said UBS analyst Geoffrey Yu. A stronger currency makes Canada's exports more expensive.

In other trading, the British pound fell to $1.5179 from $1.5298 amid uncertainty over the outcome of Britain's upcoming election. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has called for an election on May 6, but polls show a winner is uncertain. A "hung" government without a majority is seen as weak, which could be problematic given the U.K.'s debt problems.

The dollar slipped to 93.95 Japanese yen from 94.24 yen late Monday. On Monday, the dollar hit 94.76 yen, its highest point since August 2009.

An interest-rate hike by the Reserve Bank of Australia also helped boost the Australian dollar to 92.34 U.S. cents versus 92.10 U.S. cents late Monday. Rising interest rates can prompt investors to transfer funds as they seek out higher returns.

Meanwhile, the U.S. currency rose to 1.0709 Swiss francs from 1.0624 francs.

Dollar dips ahead of report on US service sector

Dollar slightly lower in light trading ahead of report on US service sector

On Monday April 5, 2010, 9:19 am EDT

NEW YORK (AP) -- The dollar was slightly lower in thin morning trading Monday as many markets remained closed for the Easter holiday.

The 16-nation euro dipped to $1.3486 from $1.3487 late Friday, while the British pound rose to $1.5263 from $1.5198. The dollar slipped to 94.45 Japanese yen from 94.54 yen.

The U.S. currency also fell to 1.0055 Canadian dollars from 1.0106 Canadian dollars and edged down to 1.0618 Swiss francs from 1.0623 francs.

Many Asian markets including China and most European makets were closed Monday for an extended Easter holiday. The Japanese and U.S. markets were open, however.

The dollar has been gaining steadily this year as debt concerns hit Europe and the recovery in the U.S. economy strengthens.

The Institute for Supply Managment is expected to report that the service sector, which supplies most U.S. jobs, grew at the fastest pace since 2007.

Euro falls to $1.35 in European morning trade

Euro falls to $1.35 as Greek debt woes continue, eurozone reports higher unemployment

On Thursday April 1, 2010, 4:25 am

FRANKFURT (AP) -- The euro is lower against the dollar amid lingering worries about Greece's debt problems and rising unemployment in Europe.

The 16-nation euro is at $1.35 in European morning trade Thursday, down from $1.3510 late Wednesday in New York.

The British pound trades at $1.5228 from $1.5181, while the dollar has risen to 93.63 Japanese yen from 93.46 Wednesday.

Despite a eurozone bailout program last week, Greece's borrowing rates have not fallen as investors remain worried about its ability to manage its debt load.

On Wednesday, official figures also showed eurozone unemployment rose to 10 percent in March from 9.9 percent the previous month despite a drop in Germany, Europe's largest economy.

Oil up near $83 on dollar, mixed US supply report

Oil up near $83 in Europe on weaker dollar, supply report suggests better US crude demand

Symbol	Price	Change
MHP	35.84	0.00

Pablo Gorondi, Associated Press Writer, On Wednesday March 31, 2010, 7:56 am

Oil prices edged up to near $83 a barrel Wednesday as the dollar weakened and the market awaited a key government report about the strength of U.S. crude demand.

By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for May delivery was up 48 cents to $82.85 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 20 cents to settle at $82.37 on Tuesday.

Crude inventories rose last week by 421,000 barrels, the American Petroleum Institute said late Tuesday. Analysts had expected an increase of 2.7 million barrels, according to a survey by Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill Cos.

Inventories of gasoline and distillates fell less than expected, the API said.

The Energy Department's Energy Information Administration is scheduled to announce its supply report -- the market benchmark -- later Wednesday.

Some analysts say surging crude demand in China and the rest of Asia is offsetting sluggish consumption in the U.S. and Europe and justifies higher oil prices.

"The eastern hemisphere has been growing at an almost insanely strong rate," Barclays Capital said in a report. "The dynamics of oil demand and oil prices no longer carry a made in the USA label."

Speculative investments betting on higher oil prices were on the rise, analysts said.

"This week seems to have marked the return of investors to the long side in the oil markets," said a report from U.S. energy consultancy Cameron Hanover. "Investors continued to buy on general 'good vibrations,' those vague feelings -- that things are getting better in the economy -- which have been the mortar holding the edifice of higher oil prices together for 13 months now."

The release of March U.S. unemployment figures on Friday will be closely watched as another indication of the strength of the economic recovery.

"Market observers said that consumers are feeling better about the employment picture, as layoffs slow and some companies start talking about renewed hiring plans," Cameron Hanover said.

The dollar's retreat against the euro and the British pound helped lift prices by making oil cheaper for investors in those currencies.

The euro rose to $1.3479 from $1.3419 in New York late Tuesday, while the British pound advanced to $1.5158 from $1.5061.

In other Nymex trading in April contracts, heating oil rose 1.31 cents to $2.1378 a gallon, and gasoline slid 0.41 cent to $2.2706 a gallon. Natural gas jumped 9.1 cents to $4.064 per 1,000 cubic feet.

In London, Brent crude was up 49 cents at $81.77 on the ICE futures exchange.

Associated Press writer Alex Kennedy in Singapore contributed to this report.

Euro keeps rising as Greek bond sale reassures

Euro higher to $1.3515 in European morning trade after Greek bond sale reassures markets

On Tuesday March 30, 2010, 4:00 am EDT

FRANKFURT (AP) -- The euro has continued to rise against the dollar after Greece was able to raise euro5 billion ($6.7 billion) through a bond issue.

The 16-nation euro is at $1.3515 in European morning trade Tuesday, from $1.3463 late Monday in New York.

The British pound is higher, buying $1.5048 from $1.4975, while the dollar is holding steady at 92.54 Japanese yen.

Greece's seven-year bond issue on Monday reassured investors that Athens can still access bond markets, even though its borrowing costs remain high. Budget and debt issues in Greece weighed on the common currency in recent months.

Last week, European countries promised loans together with funding from the International Monetary Fund, to assist Greece if it is unable to borrow or pay its debts.

Euro higher at $1.3495 as Greek plan lends support

Euro higher at $1.3495 in European morning trade in wake of EU aid program for Greece

On Monday March 29, 2010, 4:03 am

FRANKFURT (AP) -- The euro is higher against the dollar as a plan to help Greece through its budget difficulty is lending the common currency support.

The 16-nation euro is at $1.3495 in European morning trade Monday, up from $1.3401 late Friday in New York.

The British pound is also higher at $1.5005 from $1.4892, while the dollar is at 92.68 Japanese yen from 92.54.

Last Thursday, European leaders agreed to a plan to provide loans, with help from the International Monetary Fund, to Greece in case it can't raise money from financial markets. The plan covers all eurozone countries and is meant to be used only as a last resort, but has given the euro a boost.

The common currency had fallen to 10-month lows on worries about European countries' debt load.

Learning Forex Carry Trade Strategy

2009-12-28T12:59:00.000+07:00

The carry trade is a popular trading strategy used in the Forex market. It guarantees traders at least some return on their medium and longer term positions. Carry trade strategy is based on buying a high interest yielding currency and selling a low yielding currency. This allows the trader to earn the difference in the interest rates between the two currencies, referred to as the interest rate differential. The differences between interest rates of countries is what creates this opportunity.

Some speculators hedge the exchange rate exposure - aiming only to capture the interest rate differential. This return can be increased through leverage.
Some currency pairs that are usually selected to apply the carry trade strategy are: GBP/JPY, GBP/CHF, AUD/JPY, EUR/JPY, CAD/JPY, and USD/JPY

The carry trade works best under certain market conditions, and the selection of the currency pair can make the difference between a losing and a profitable trade. When selecting the currency pair, traders want to observe two things:
1 Trader wants to make sure he is buying the currency that has the higher interest rate and is selling the currency that has a lower interest rate in comparison.
2 Trader wants to view the currency will move to his favor.

Take example : buy EUR/USD, we will get 1.77$ per 24 hour on $20000 contract size. you are effectively earning 1.77$ USD on $20000 contract size for one day on a buy order, if we assume that you are trading at a leverage of 100:1 you will get 1,77$ on your 200$ money. On a month you will get about 54$, not to bad :).
See table below, showing interest rate(Dec 2009) from any different pair.

Summary :
- The carry trade strategy best work on medium and longer term positions.
- Where the pair move on the right direction you will get double profit : first Along with a profit on the actual trade itself, second is the carry trade.
- Where the pair move at opposite direction, you are just earning form money on the carry trade.
- Trader in long the carry, meaning that they are getting paid every day they hold their position, regardless of what happens to the exchange rate.
- Conversely Trader in short the carry, meaning that they are paying money every day, regardless of what happens with the exchange rate.

Menentukan LOT/Quantity di Marketiva

2009-12-23T19:21:00.000+07:00

Pada broker-broker forex memang pada umumnya menggunakan sistem LOT,
Namun di Marketiva yang digunakan adalah sistem Kuantitas, prinsipnya adalah hampir sama, yaitu menentukan jumlah dana yang digunakan saat trading. Cuman dengan sistem kuantitas ini kita bisa lebih fleksibel dalam menggunakannya.

Marketiva menggunakan leverage 1:100 artinya Anda bisa melakukan transaksi $100 dengan hanya modal $1.
Jadi dengan sistem leverage seperti ini, bila Anda akan memainkan
$1 maka masukan nilai 100 pada kolom Quantity
$5 maka masukan nilai 500 pada kolom Quantiy
$10 maka masukan nilai 1000 pada kolom Quantity
Tidak ada batasan dalam penentuan lot, anda dapat memasukkan nilai quantity dengan angka berapa saja: 1, 5, 457, 7864, 10000, 100000 dan kuantitas berapapun yang anda inginkan.

Batasan yang perlu diperhatikan adalah, Kebutuhan margin pada desk margin trading adalah 1%, yang berarti bahwa apabila anda ingin bertrading dengan quantity 300(3$), anda harus memiliki sekurang-kurangnya $3 pada desk trading Forex atau sekurang-kurangnya 3 kali harga instrumen saat itu untuk desk trading Indeks atau Komoditi.

Pada saat anda membuka sebuah posisi, sistem akan mengunci sejumlah syarat margin sampai anda menutup posisi tersebut. Sistem mengunci sementara margin tersebut sebagai jaminan apabila pasar berubah secara besar-besaran.

Trading di Marketiva

2009-12-23T19:14:00.000+07:00

Cara termudah untuk memulai trading adalah dengan mengklik pada instrumen pasar di window harga. Ketika dialog [Send Order] muncul, anda bisa set kolom [Quantity] menjadi 1 atau lebih (tergantung pada jumlah yang anda miliki pada trading desk tersebut). Ketika anda mengklik tombol OK, order tersebut akan masuk ke market.

Anda dapat menemukan kumpulan artikel dan berbagai macam sumber bacaan untuk membantu anda memahami dasar-dasar trading di

http://www.marketiva.com/index.ncre?page=resources.

Leverage yang digunakan adalah 1:100 (margin yang diperlukan adalah 1%), yang berarti jika anda ingin trade dengan quantitas 200, anda harus mempunyai minimal $2 di account anda. Sistem akan mengunci sementara $2 tersebut (untuk mengantisipasi jika terjadi pergerakan pasar yang sangat cepat) hingga anda close posisi tersebut maka uang anda yang dikunci akan kembali. Maka jika anda mempunyai $5 di “live trading desk”, anda dapat dengan mudah menggunakan quantitas 200. Untuk lebih jelas bisa dilihat di http://www.marketiva.com/index.ncre?page=re-margin-requirements.

PIP (Point) adalah pergerakan terkecil mata uang. Nilai pip (point) bergantung pada position size (nilai quantity yang Anda masukkan) dan pair mata uang yang Anda gunakan. Contohnya, jika Anda memasukkan quantity 10.000 untuk EUR/USD, maka setiap pip bernilai 10.000*0.0001 atau $1. Atau jika Anda memasukkan quantity 100 untuk EUR/USD maka setiap pip bernilai 100*0.0001 atau $0.01 (1 sen). Penjelasan yang lebih detil dapat Anda baca di http://www.marketiva.com/index.ncre?page=re-calculating-profit.

Untuk mengetahui untung atau rugi, Anda dapat melihat kolom profit di dalam positions tab. Jika profit minus berarti posisi tersebut masih dalam keadaan rugi. Jika plus berarti posisi tersebut sudah profit (untung). Warna dari profit atau point tak menunjukkan untung atau rugi.

Untuk menutup posisi OPEN : Di dalam window “Positions” klik posisi anda di baris kolom “Position ID” yang ingin anda tutup. Klik tombol “Close”.Jika sudah close akan tampak status “CLOSED”. Setelah anda close maka Profit/Loss nya akan direalisasikan dan akan langsung masuk ke desk anda.
