Cependant, il faut souligner que les politiques monétaires de la
FED et les nouvelles économiques provenant des États-Unis influencent bien
plus largement cette paire que les nouvelles provenant de l’économie européenne.
Euro, Yen, USD, GBP & More..Currency rates have a tremendous impact on business and
individual wealth along with consumer spending power. In the
current financial environment it is not rare to see currency values
change 2, 3 or 5% in a single trading session.
Some
traders (those who haven't jumped) are battling the Forex market more
than ever before. Trading stocks is the most popular and well known
form of investment but trading in currency values - although much
riskier than traditional stock investments - can prove to be quite
rewarding for those who do it well.
Not interested in investing
(neither are we) but if you're planning a trip to Europe, the USA,
Canada, Russia - anywhere you will have to use a domestic currency
other than your own - than it's worth your time to bookmark this page
and watch the currency values from time to time to see how far your
money will go .. or how much of it has disappeared. Currency rates
for popular currencies such as the Euro value, US dollar rate,
Swiss franc and Canadian dollar are all listed to the right with a
feed that is updated daily.
Below is a quick list of some of the
most popular destinations and local currency used (but remember
that most of the silly tourist places will almost always accept the
greenback (US Dollar) if you are paying cash. It is noteworthy
that many tourists opt to bring a small currency calculator for
quick currency conversion while abroad. Credit cards are a
whole other issue - many tourists quickly find that (with the
exception of hotels and restaurants) many merchants will not accept
credit cards so understand local currency exchange before you head
to the airport and be prepared to pay cash if you have to.

Forex Pros – Le dollar U.S. était mitigé face à la plupart de
ses concurrents ce lundi, l’attente de nouvelles hausses des taux
d’intérêt en zone euro en cours d’année tirant la monnaie unique vers
le haut.
En première partie de séance européenne, cette dernière a toutefois
fléchi devant lui, l’ EUR/USD perdant 0.29% pour tomber à 1.4441.

l’USD\/JPY cédant 0.05% pour descendre à 84.69 et l’USD\/CHF grignotant
0.24% pour culminer à 0.9085.
Un séisme de 6.3 sur l’échelle de Richter a en effet frappé ce matin
le nord-est du Japon, déclenchant une alerte au tsunami de faible
importance.

cousines canadienne et australienne, mais pas la néo-zélandaise,
l’USD\/CAD arrachant 0.12% pour monter à 0.9566, l’AUD\/USD trébuchant
de 0.19% pour se retrouver à 1.0545 et le NZD\/USD grignotant 0.08%
pour s’élever à 0.7832.

What are the advantages of the Forex Market over other types of investments?
When thinking about various investments, there is one investment
vehicle that comes to mind. The Forex or Foreign Currency Market has
many advantages over other types of investments. The Forex market is
open 24 hrs a day, unlike the regular stock markets. Most investments
require a substantial amount of capital before you can take advantage of
an investment opportunity. To trade Forex, you only need a small
amount of capital. Anyone can enter the market with as little as $300
USD to trade a “mini account”, which allows you to trade lots of 10,000
units. One lot of 10,000 units of currency is equal to 1 contract.
Each “pip” or move up or down in the currency pair is worth a $1 gain
or loss, depending on which side of the market you are on. A standard
account gives you control over 100,000 units of currency and a pip is
worth $10.
The Forex market is also very liquid. When trading Forex you have full control of your capital.
Many other types of investments require holding your money up for
long periods of time. This is a disadvantage because if you need to use
the capital it can be difficult to access to it without taking a huge
loss. Also, with a small amount of money, you can control
Forex traders can be profitable in bullish or bearish market
conditions. Stock market traders need stock prices to rise in order to
take a profit. Forex traders can make a profit during up trends and
downtrends. Forex Trading can be risky, but with having the ability to
have a good system to follow, good money management skills, and
possessing self discipline, Forex trading can be a relatively low risk
investment.
The Forex market can be traded anytime, anywhere. As long as you
have access to a computer, you have the ability to trade the Forex
market. An important thing to remember is before jumping into trading
currencies, is it wise to practice with “paper money”, or “fake money.”
Most brokers have demo accounts where you can download their trading
station and practice real time with fake money. While this is no
guarantee of your performance with real money, practicing can give you a
huge advantage to become better prepared when you trade with your
real, hard earned money. There are also many Forex courses on the
internet, just be careful when choosing which ones to purchase.
