ON THE AIR with Futures with Ben Lichenstien

I ended the trading week this Friday morning on the TD Ameritrade Network talking as one of the guests on the Futures with Ben Lichenstein show. In light of the surprise resignation announcement of UK Prime Minister Theresa May hours before I went on, it isn’t any wonder that Ben and I discussed the Brexit, the implications of another prime minister resignation brought on by the Brexit, and what effects all of this will have on the forex markets.

We also talked about the rise of risk aversion in the markets and what that will mean for the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen as safe haven currencies. But the one safe haven that I did not mention this morning is the Swiss franc. Luckily, Dayo already wrote an analysis yesterday looking at the current trend in the $EURCHF. So read that and watch my interview below for an understanding of the new fundamental landscape in the forex markets heading into the summer trading months.

ON THE AIR with Futures with Ben Lichenstein

I kicked off the new trading week this Monday morning on the TD Ameritrade Network talking as one of the guests on the Futures with Ben Lichenstein show. Ben and I discussed the full gamut of fundamentals in the forex market for the Australian dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen, the Great British pound and the U.S. dollar.

ON THE AIR with F.A.C.E.

The forex markets have been crap. And that’s just to say that for my trading style, I haven’t been able to trade much at all in the past several months. I know myself and I understand that the current market environment has not allowed me to trade my style. The major GBP pairs are all consolidating in the face of a now delayed Brexit, so there really hasn’t been much to do or say about the markets.

So I am thankful for the opportunity to make an appearance with Dale Pinkert and the Forex Analytix Community Experience (F.A.C.E.) during this time in the markets. I think it is important to share the ugly as well as the good in our process and to demonstrate that we don’t always make money at all times in trading. There are times when the best thing to do is really to do NO thing.

Enjoy!

If I can be of service to you, please do reach out. Happy trades!

ON THE AIR with Futures with Ben Litchenstein

? I was back on the TD Ameritrade Network with the Futures with Ben Lichtenstein Show bright and early this morning ?? talking Bank of Canada, Brexit and the U.S. dollar. Ben always asks the tough questions providing a great interview of insights for viewers.

It looks like the Bank of Canada did, indeed, back down off their hawkish rhetoric as the Canadian dollar is weaker after the monetary policy announcment. The U.S. dollar is starting to react a bit to that poor U.S. trades number but the market will likely keep a muted reaction as it waits for the spotlight event of the week, the U.S. jobs number. Don’t forget about the Canadian jobs report released at the same time. Another weak economic report just may send the Canadian dollar over the cliff for good.

ON THE AIR with Benzinga #PreMarket Prep Show

I got to open up the new trading month of February with the guys at Benzinga, just after the release of the US jobs report. The headline number smashed market expectations with the U.S. economy adding 304,000 jobs in the month of January. However, the more interesting number is the decrease in hourly earnings, which is a key indicator of inflation for the Federal Reserve. It makes us wonder if the Fed is trying to get ahead of deflation with its surprise shift in monetary policy just days earlier.

We also discussed the Brexit, monetary policy and what this all could mean for the euro! (Yes, of course, we talked about the GBP too ??) Watch the full interview below!

ON THE AIR with Futures with Ben Lichtenstein

I closed out January back on the air live on TD Ameritrade Network’s show, Futures with Ben Lichtenstein. During my segment, I covered the surprise delivered by the Federal Reserve this week as they announced that they would not only shift away from gradual interest rate increases but that they would also maintain their balance sheet. This is a stark contrast from increasing rates AND unwinding quantitative easing. So on the show, we dissected the markets’ reaction to this news.

We also discussed Brexit, of course, and how Parliament is more to blame than Prime Minister Theresa May. What does all this mean for the USD and the GBP? Click to watch the segment below.

ON THE AIR with FUTURES with Ben Lichtenstein

My last television appearance of 2018 was on the TD Ameritrade Network a few weeks ago. With the Bank of England (BoE) meeting on monetary policy this week, as well as the Federal Reserve, I thought it was a good idea to revisit some of the themes I discussed with Ben Lichtenstein on FUTURES.

The Brexit deal was certainly on the top of discussion but so was the U.S. dollar. The Federal Reserve is so highly expected to raise interest rates for the last time in 2018 but also give dovish guidance for monetary policy next year that the market is already headed into the event selling the USD. But I believe that this selling in the USD is merely market positioning for a very specific reason that is not being talked about right now. Watch the full interview below.
