IG Markets Presentation 20.10.2012

By Mandi in *Trading Tips

This morning I attended the IG Markets seminar where Chris Weston presented the IG market update. To my surprise it was quite interesting and insightful.

He showed a chart showing how Gold and the Euro are correlated. Their view is that as soon as the Euro breaches the 1.31 mark Gold will move to a potential target of $2500. Consequently gold mining stocks should soon be back in fashion according. It never occurred to me that gold and euro could be correlated so I found this piece of information interesting. Check out the chart:

Their explanation for the AUD to show such strengths despite the concerns about China is that our Bond market is very strong with Australia’s AAA rated banks leading in the world.

And the other interesting insight I never thought of is that Yen and US Treasury yields are correlated.

Well there you go always inspiring to see that there is still some great minds out there…

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.

Trading the financial markets (especially on margin with leveraged products) carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to trade any instrument you must carefully consider your objectives, level of experience, and your personal circumstances.

The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading the financial markets, and we recommend you seek advice from an independent financial advisor.

Any information is general of nature and does not take into account your financial situation, objectives, or your individual circumstances and needs.
Please ensure that you fully understand and acknowledge all risks involved before entering into any trades.
