Gold: Putin’s Haven

  Sanctions imposed by the West on Russia’s central bank have demonstrated the vulnerability of any country holding cash in its foreign exchange reserves. Bitcoin is a passing fad with no real value; in fact, it is worse than cash because it only exists on a computer screen. Gold serves two functions that fiat currencies or any other financial innovation cannot: first, it serves as a safe haven during times of turmoil, and second, it serves as a store of value.  Gold is dismissed as a speculation since it doesn’t create sprouts, and that really intends that without a profit or yield, the consistent pay and deliberate development wanted by institutional financial backers don’t exist.  Gold is also regarded as a valuable store of value. The precious metal has proven to hold its value over time. Accordingly, financial backers consider it to be a method for saving riches, rather than paper or “fiat” monetary forms, which are helpless to expansion and lose estee...

Steps to Creating a Trading Strategy Part 1

  Any trader, professional or amateur, must have a trading strategy. Traders who enter and exit the financial markets arbitrarily, without ever developing a set of conditions and rules for doing so, are unlikely to be successful.  A trading strategy is a set of predefined rules that govern when and how a trader enters and exits a financial market.  Trading strategies are heavily influenced by the individual trader, their trading profile, style, risk tolerance, and available capital. There is no such thing as a “holy grail” trading strategy that is suitable and successful for every trader.  The prospect of developing your own trading strategy may appear intimidating. The good news is that developing a trading strategy is actually quite simple. The bad news is that making one that is profitable is much more difficult. 1) Choose Market appropriate for you  The first step is to decide on a financial market in which to trade.  Although this may ap...

  Oil Taking stock of the oil market outlook. WTI crude looks set to close below $100 this week, and the charts show a semblance of a double bottom just below the $94 mark. This will be an important level to monitor before a possible drop towards $90 in the near future. Even if OPEC+ isn’t going to mess things up, recent sentiment hasn’t been kind to the oil market outlook. Let’s take an inventory of the situation. China’s lockdowns, as well as geopolitical tensions, continue to threaten a further slowdown in the global economy. Rising inflationary pressures are also weighing on the consumption outlook. Reserve releases by the US and the IEA have resulted in a narrowing of backwardation spreads, indicating less concern about the near-term availability of oil supply. There are good reasons to expect a pullback, but the main point remains. That is, the first two factors will pass eventually, while the third is only a temporary fix. Reserve releases do not help to corre...

U.S. dollar to remain hawkish: Polls

  US dollar will remain dominant for the time being as long as the Federal Reserve maintains its hawkish stance on interest rate hikes and its plans to unwind some of its pandemic-related bond purchases.  The dollar index, which gained nearly 7% against major currencies last year, has continued its stellar performance this year, rising another 4% so far, with nearly half of those gains occurring in March alone.  Much of that strength was driven by comments from Federal Reserve officials, who, in addition to calling for 50-basis-point rate hikes, are openly discussing aggressively shrinking the size of the Fed’s nearly $9 trillion balance sheet. This has driven U.S. Treasury yields to multi-year highs and investors into dollar-denominated assets, a key component of the strong dollar trade that is unlikely to fade anytime soon, keeping the currency well-bid.  According to data released on Friday by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, market spe...

Biden mocked Russia’s ruble as a ‘rubble,’ but it is roaring back.

  International sanctions against Vladimir Putin’s regime drove the ruble to a record low of 121.5 rubles per dollar, evoking memories of the 1998 Russian financial crisis. The collapse of the ruble in the days following the start of the Ukraine war was a powerful symbol of Russia’s newfound financial isolation.  The situation had deteriorated to the point where US Vice President Joe Biden declared the ruble to be “rubble.”  The ruble has risen all the way back to where it was before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, with the currency trading as high as 74.2625 per dollar in early Moscow trade on Thursday.  Despite an extremely broad package of sanctions against the Russian government and its oligarchs, as well as an exodus of foreign businesses. The actions will be largely ineffective if foreigners continue to consume Russian oil and natural gas, thereby supporting the ruble and filling Putin’s coffers.  The rapid ruble recovery gives Putin a major v...
