<p>Bank Forex trading could disappear depending upon how regulators apply the new laws being passed by congress to regulate the United States financial industry. The big banks such as Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and J.P. Morgan Chase all profit handsomely from Forex trading. These profits could go away with the new law. Commentators have said that bank Forex trading could just move offshore but current legal opinion is that the new regulations would apply to banks and their foreign subsidiaries. The rules could even extend to foreign banks that do business in the United States. For the Forex trader the question is if cessation of bank Forex trading will substantially reduce trading volume and liquidity. Will price spreads increase? Will the absence of big traders skew the Forex market itself? Although the <a href="../forex/downward-direction-of-the-euro"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">downward direction of the Euro</span></a> or a rising <a href="../forex/the-dollar-and-lower-commodity-prices"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">dollar and lower commodity prices</span></a> will still drive Forex exchange rates the Forex market may not respond as fluidly with less volume and liquidity.</p>
<p>The fact is that because companies and nations need to trade currencies the Forex market will continue and, in all likelihood, any loss in United States bank Forex trading will be picked up by traders and institutions outside of the United States. This could have an effect on Forex trading by itself. If the profits made in United States bank Forex trading go elsewhere it could also have a small but measurable effect on balance of trade and the value of the dollar versus other currencies. From a strictly economic viewpoint the loss of profits in the United States while it attempts to climb out the recession could, in theory, slow the process and harm the value of the dollar. The counter argument is that by cleaning house in the United States financial establishments the next market crash and recession will be delayer or averted. A stable banking system will probably do more to help the dollar over time. As usual <a href="../forex/understanding-the-forex-markets"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">understanding the Forex markets</span></a> can be both complicated and obvious and traders are already taking the prospect of no United States bank Forex trading into account in their trades.</p>
<p>No matter what the effects on the average currency trader the fact is clear that a new world is in store for the large United States financial institutions that congress is blaming for the stock market crash and the recession. <a href="../forex/good-forex-advice"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Good Forex advice</span></a> may well be to watch the situation carefully in order to profit from any changes in trading that occur as a result of the coming regulations. It is possible that the accuracy of trading software predictions may suffer slightly if trading volume is significantly less that normal for the Forex markets but in the end <a href="../forex/forex-double-bottoms"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex double bottoms</span></a> and Forex double tops will signal market reversals. Nevertheless, the same trading signals will still work and those who learn market fundamentals and do their homework will prosper in Forex trading whether the banks are trading Forex or not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those wishing to trade the effects of a revaluation of China’s  currency it will be wise to remember that there is perception and there is  reality. The news just broke from Chinese Central Bank sources that China  will allow “greater flexibility” in the value of its currency, the <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/yuan-exchange-rate"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Yuan  exchange rate</span></a>. China  is orchestrating Yuan revaluation. With the economic summit in Canada a week  away China has come under increasing international pressure to let its  currency, called the Renmibi or Yuan, rise with market forces. The US congress is considering legislation labeling China  a “currency manipulator” which could lead to a number of very specific and  painful sanctions and, probably, a trade war. Nobody would benefit from an all  out trade war and it appears as though China is going to let its currency  slowly rise compared to everyone elses.   Now the question for the Forex trader is what signals to watch when  trading. There will be real economic indicators and there will be China’s  elite orchestrating Yuan revaluation.</p>
<p>“China’s  decision to increase the flexibility of its exchange rate is a constructive  step that can help safeguard the recovery and contribute to a more balanced  global economy,” President Mr. Obama said in a prepared statement. It would  seem that both sides are involved in orchestrating Yuan revaluation. It is a  little like the old days when China  was closed off from the world and analysts poured over the most cryptic  proclamations of the Chinese government for hidden meaning. Just how fast will China let the  Yuan rise in value? What will they do if their own internal political problems  take precedence? What will the US  and other do if the revaluation of the Yuan is so painfully slow is to be  almost no existent? <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/good-forex-advice"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Good Forex  advice</span></a> will be to watch the market more so than China officials orchestrating Yuan  revaluation. Politicians and diplomats have ulterior motives based upon their  constituencies. The market is its own boss and responds to the trades of  millions of traders.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, slow for fast, orchestrated or not, the fact  that China  will allow its currency to fluctuate more and more with the Forex market will  be welcome, both to traders and to the economy at large. For the Forex trader  the issue will be just how fast and how far the revaluation of the Yuan will  progress. The likelihood is that the Yuan will soon be worth more dollars, Yen,  Euros, and Pound Sterling. However, as market forces exert themselves there  will be speculation as to how fast the revaluation will occur with Forex  traders betting on both slower and faster changes in value. <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/success-in-forex-means-a-plan-and-a-method"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Success  in Forex means a plan and a method</span></a>. Traders will need to watch and learn as  China  loosens up its currency controls. It is only possible to plan when there is  sufficient information and transparency. China is orchestrating Yuan  revaluation with the help of its trading partners in order to come to an agreed  upon solution. How this will work out for the day to day Forex trader will only  become clear with time and observation of the markets.<!-- pingbacker_start --><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To understand the recent rise of the dollar, Swiss franc,  and Yen in connection with the fall of the Euro one needs to understand the  connection of Forex trading and economic news. The Euro dropped again the other  day and it was not the <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-double-bottoms">PIIGS and  Forex</a>, <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-and-sovereign-debt">Forex  and sovereign debt</a> issue this time. It was a poor US jobs report! On the face of it  one might expect to see the dollar go down and the Euro go up if there are  economic problems in the USA.  However, Forex trading and the economic news can be more complicated. In this  case the poor US  jobs report is seen as evidence that the global recession is not really on the  mend. Thus traders did what they always do when there is economic uncertainty.  They flee to the strongest currencies at the time. This meant a flight to the  Yen, Swiss franc, and US dollar this last week.</p>
<p>An obvious fact, but something that bears remembering, is  that when traders are selling Euros to buy dollars, Yen, and Swiss francs  someone else is buying all of those Euros, but at a lower price than the day  before. A lot of traders think that the Euro is priced at the bottom of its  range or they would not have bought when they did. In <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/understanding-the-forex-markets">understanding  the Forex markets</a> it is wise to remember that there are always two sides to  every currency exchange. Nevertheless in today’s Forex trading and economic  news the pressure is on the Euro to the benefit of three, currently, stable  currencies.</p>
<p>It was only a couple of months ago that traders seeing <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-double-bottoms">Forex  double bottoms</a> correctly anticipated a halt to the drop of the Euro. In Forex  trading and economic news there is information to guide the trader in choosing  to buy or sell a given currency at a given price. However, minute by minute  trading is based upon technical factors as all traders acting individually  serve to make minute corrections in exchange rates. A firm knowledge of  technical trading patterns is essential for the trader to take advantage of  breaking economic news and the reaction of the Forex market.</p>
<p>For those who have purchased dollars, Swiss francs,  and Yen with their Euros the question is if these currencies will continue to  go up or if they will reverse when the Euro gains strength. Certainly the fact  that the US  is still having employment problems does not bode well for continued strength  of the dollar. The Japanese economy has never regained its fabled strength of  the 1980’s for that matter. An interesting twist on the Swiss franc has to do  with the surfacing of debt problems in Hungary. Apparently Hungary faces debt problems that may be as  severe as that of Greece.  However, it turns out that many mortgages in Hungary are denominated in Swiss  francs! Thus, if Hungary  tries to borrow or print money to pay its way out of its debt crisis inflation  of its currency will only hurt instead of help homeowners. Forex trading and  economic news has a totally different meaning for homeowners in Hungary. Other  economies that are more strongly tied to exports, such as Australia, also lost ground last week based on  the reading of US  jobs data. <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/good-forex-advice">Good  Forex advice</a> for the day, and for always, is to keep track of the news as  Forex trading and economic news go hand in hand.<!-- pingbacker_start --><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It would appear that the European Community $1 trillion  dollar bailout package is not going to help the Euro. The downward direction of  the Euro was briefly halted when last week’s the bailout promised to help the <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-double-bottoms"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">PIIGS and  Forex</span></a> situation. However, the price for guaranteeing the debts of Portugal, Italy,  Ireland, Greece, and Spain will be that the value of the  common currency will suffer. National debt has a way of doing that. Although  the Euro briefly flirted with $1.30 last week with the bailout announcement it  is back down to $1.27. Many are betting that the downward direction of the Euro  will not stop until the Euro settles in at the level it began in 1999, less  than $1.20.</p>
<p>Although a strong currency is a measure of the economic  health of an economy it is also an impediment to exporting that economy’s  products. This is why Japan  and then Taiwan and then China have traditionally  purchased dollars. The dollar is, in fact, a good place to hold wealth.  However, these countries have tried to hold the dollar up in value to make  their products more competitive in the North American market place. Now, with a  slide in the Euro, the Common Market’s exports will be cheaper and more competitive.  That fact could be the salvation of the weaker economies on the continent if  they are able to bring in foreign exchange and boost employment. In <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-trading-the-euro"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex trading  the Euro</span></a> it may be wise to expect a continued slide to less than $1.20. On  the other hand, if the continent becomes more competitive again, one might just  see the common market currency start to rise again in the next year or so.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/good-forex-advice"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Good Forex  advice</span></a> is to watch the markets and trust them more than any “expert”  advice. If everyone knew where the Euro is heading there would be no need for a  foreign exchange market. Even though the fundamentals of European debt suggest  a continued slide of the Euro the smart trader will rely upon technical  analysis of the Forex market in order to buy or sell Euros. Although the  temptation for American traders may be to trade the EUR/USD pair it is not  necessary. Trading EUR/JPY or EUR/GBP may be more profitable depending upon how  the Japanese or British economies do coming out of the recession.</p>
<p>As always <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/success-in-forex-means-a-plan-and-a-method"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">success  in Forex means a plan and a method</span></a>. This includes trading the apparent,  continued downward direction of the Euro. Whichever currency pair one trades it  is essential to be familiar with the economics, politics, and monetary policy  of that nation. Then the trader can work on comparisons in understanding the  fundamentals of the relationship. Meanwhile the trader must stay current on  pricing and price patterns. Because price patterns repeat themselves is why  technical trading works. Being current with current price patterns and  knowledgeable about how to trade them will help the trader in dealing with the  downward direction of the Euro.<!-- pingbacker_start --><br />

<p>The dollar has been granted another reprieve from its  predicted demise. US Treasuries were selling well last week as another flight  of capital sent investors to buying the 30 year long bond. A strong dollar and  lower commodity prices are definitely linked as the Consumer Price Index (CPI)  only went up 2.2% in the last twelve months. Virtually that entire rise was in  the cost of oil. As the price of oil has dropped the CPI is moving sideways.  The predicted inflationary surge tied to increased US debt has not happened, at least  yet. A strong dollar and lower commodity prices looks, to many, to be the order  of the day, week, month, and years going forward. Otherwise why would all of  those folks be buying 30 year treasuries? For traders in the Forex markets it  would seem that, for the time being, <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/good-forex-advice"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">good Forex  advice</span></a> is not to short the dollar.</p>
<p>A strong dollar and lower commodity prices will be a boon  for US consumers, reducing the cost of their purchases and, maybe leaving room  for savings. The prospect of a stronger dollar does not bode especially well  for selling US products overseas and could well end up worsening the US balance of  payments. It would seem that investing in the US and buying dollars are bad ideas  except that both of these seem to beat the alternatives. The Euro is still  sliding and China’s  interest rate hikes to quell inflation may cause as much as a 40% drop in  property values. This could, it would seem, make investment in Chinese real  estate and other projects less appealing.   Does that mean the Yuan will become less valuable? Maybe by the time the  Chinese decide to let the Yuan float with the market it will not go up but will  go down. To some degree it may seem that <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/understanding-the-forex-markets"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">understanding  the Forex markets</span></a> can get tougher each day. However, the market functions  just fine, thank you. It responds to the buying and selling of millions of  trades every day reaching a moving price consensus on every currency pair  traded.</p>
<p>The point of this is to trade the currency market and  not to worry about it. The market will hold up fine even as one currency  suffers and another prospers. A stronger dollar and lower commodity prices mean  one set of things to US citizens, investors, and those interested in buying US  products. It means another set of things to those traders who trade a currency  pair that includes the dollar. Whether a trader is <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-trading-the-euro"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex  trading the Euro</span></a> or concerned about the <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/yuan-exchange-rate">Yuan  exchange rate</a> versus the dollar it is the market moves and market reaction that is important. The dollar, Euro, Yuan, and the rest will all be at some set  of exchange rates next year or decade but they will have to get there and money  is to be made in the unevenness of the processes. Knowing where the action is,  as in the decline of the Euro, or where it might be, as in the goings on in China and its  real estate market will prepare the trader to be in the right place at the  right time. Then he or she will need to apply the fundamentals of technical  trading to profit from what the market does every day with issues such a  stronger dollar and lower commodity prices.</p>

<p>China may allow the value of the  Yuan (Renmibi) to rise later this year. China has kept the Yuan exchange  rate low for years in order to sell cheaper products to the rest of the world. China’s use of a low Yuan exchange rate is  merely copying what Japan  and Taiwan  have done for years. All three nations have bought substantial amounts of US  treasury securities, which has helped keep the dollar artificially high. The  Yuan, Yen and Taiwan  dollar (also called the Yuan) all trade in the Forex market. If China  allows the relative value of the Yuan to change it will be in response to  internal affairs and not to foreign pressure. If the Chinese let the Yuan move  higher it will cause a reshuffling of other currency pair values. <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/good-forex-advice"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Good Forex  advice</span></a> for 2010 will be to watch the Yuan.</p>
<p>Although  China  let the Yuan rise in value in the middle of the decade they have kept it pegged  to the dollar for almost two years. A general consensus is that the Yuan would go  up by more than a third its current value versus the dollar if allowed to float  in the Forex market. In considering <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-trading-and-foreign-currency-risk"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex  trading and foreign currency risk</span></a> the Yuan situation looms large. If the  Chinese let the Yuan float you ought to buy Yuan now. If the Chinese let the  Yuan float to its true value versus other currencies the question is if you  want to own Yuan in a couple of years. The main reason for keeping the Yuan,  Yen, and Taiwan dollar low  compared to the dollar, as well as the Euro, is to be able to flood the  consumer markets in North America and Europe  with products that are cheaper than can be produced locally. This practice,  along with a large, cheap labor pool has benefited China ever since it opened up to  the world after Nixon’s visit in the early 1970’s.</p>
<p>China considers itself the Middle  Kingdom and does not ever do things to please anyone outside of China. So long  as a cheap Yuan has worked for them they have continued to depress its value  versus other currencies. When China  lets the Yuan exchange rate go up, or lets the Forex market do it, it is because  of internal reasons. Right now China  is dealing with debt issues (some hidden), serious social issues, and  inflation. Raising the value of the Yuan versus other currencies will likely  slow inflation in China  avoiding the social and political problems of rising costs for a population  that is still not paid a very high wage for its work. A sound <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex-strategies/forex-strategy-and-the-forex-news"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex  strategy and the Forex news</span></a> about the Yuan could possibly guide the trader  to profits this coming year as the Yuan rises in value.</p>
<p>When  the Yuan exchange rate goes up the price of Chinese imports into North America  and Europe goes up. It may be that Chinese  exports will suffer and some of the huge currency flow from the rest of the  world into China  may be reduced. That may have a beneficial effect for many countries concerned  about <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-and-sovereign-debt"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex  and sovereign debt</span></a>.</p>

<p>The matter of PIIGS and Forex has not gone away. For anyone  who has not been watching, PIIGS stands for a number of Southern tier European  countries and one island nation with dangerously large national debts. Portugal, Italy,  Ireland, Greece, and Spain are all considered to be in  risk of default. Because these are Euro Zone countries Germany and France may have to step in and  provide loans. This situation has driven the Euro to new lows.  Debate ranges back and for on the subject of <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-and-sovereign-debt"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Forex  and sovereign debt</span></a>. Now England’s  debt is calling its creditworthiness in question so the Pound is falling along  with the Euro.</p>
<p>Traders are making comparisons to Greek debt and US debt as a  fraction of GNP and wondering whether to discount the Dollar or the Euro based  on debt. As usual <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-trading-and-opinions"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Forex  trading and opinions</span></a> go together like jam and bread. Those who saw this  coming have profited handsomely by betting against the Euro. Now the question  is if the excessive debt of US states will cause a bailout making <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/factors-influencing-the-eurusd-pair"><span style="text-decoration: underline">factors  influencing the EUR/USD pair</span></a> reverse and send the dollar into a slide.</p>
<p>For the astute trader your <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex-strategies/forex-strategy-and-the-forex-news"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Forex  strategy and the Forex news</span></a> are not always on the same subject. For example <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/2009/11"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Forex trading and the  Dubai financial crisis</span></a> was at the top of the news recently. PIIGS and Forex  pushed this matter to the back pages. It should not remove this issue from  consideration in Forex strategy. When the recession hit governments around the  world responded by pumping money into credit markets, bailing out ailing banks,  and even taking shares in financial giants like Citigroup to stabilize the  financial markets. The effects of this unheard of amount of debt will be with  us for generations and should be considered in Forex trading. Even large  national matters such as <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-and-health-care"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Forex and  health care</span></a> affect national debt which in turn affects currency values. The  issue with Dubai  is not so much their debt but who will have to write off their loans.</p>
<p>As usual commentators are predicting the end of the  Euro and the end of the European Common Market. Beware of extremes when  formulating your Forex strategy. If the Euro goes away it will not be there to  trade. However, there are too many good reasons for the European nations to continue  to work together for the Common Market to fail. Because of these we can expect  to see recurring situations like the current PIIGS crisis where Germany and France will need to step in to bail  out their trading partners. In the meantime get used to the news of labor  unions in Greece  taking to the streets to complain about cuts in social benefits. In matters  such as PIIGS and Forex remember that those who extend credit (Germany and France) will always require at  least a show of fiscal austerity for their money. <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/good-forex-advice"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Good Forex  advice</span></a> is to ignore a lot of the daily sensationalism except as part of the  bigger picture. Those who understood the debt situation and the political  climate in many European countries saw the drop in the Euro coming and profited  as it slid down in value. Those with technical expertise with <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-double-bottoms"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Forex  double bottoms</span></a> saw the rebound of the Euro and went long on the Euro just  in time. Those who understood that the EU is not going to disappear understood  in advance that the Euro would come to a lower boundary and reverse despite  PIIGS and Forex.</p>

<p><a class="zem_slink" title="Foreign exchange market" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_exchange_market"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex</span></a> double bottoms, as well as double tops, are a strong  sign that the market has tested a level and is going to change direction. The  common interpretation of Forex double bottoms is that traders are buying en  mass when the <a class="zem_slink" title="Value (ethics)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_%28ethics%29">relative value</a> of a <a class="zem_slink" title="Currency pair" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_pair"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">currency pair</span></a> gets to a given point. Forex  double bottoms and double tops are trend reversal patterns. When <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-trading-the-euro"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex  trading the Euro</span></a> we will see times when the Euro falls in relation the  dollar. Then it reverses and goes up only to reverse again and head back down.  When it hits the second bottom is when traders will commonly go long on the  Euro. <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/understanding-the-forex-markets"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Understanding  the Forex markets</span></a> includes understanding the use of common chart patterns  such as the double bottom.</p>
<p>Forex double bottoms are one of the most common patters seen  in Forex trading. Traders often describe double bottoms as testing and then  retesting limits as well as repelling attacks as though trading were a military  battle. What actually is happening is that traders are scalping profits on the  way down and will continue to <a class="zem_slink" title="Short (finance)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_%28finance%29"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">sell short</span></a> (the Euro in the example we use) until  the market reverses. Traders can profit using chart formations to plan their  next buy or sell in a currency pair. Traders are also aware of fundamental <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/factors-influencing-the-eurusd-pair"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">factors  influencing the EUR/USD pair</span></a>. Whether it is <a class="zem_slink" title="Central bank" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_bank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Central Bank</span></a> intervention or has  to do with <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/higher-rates-and-the-dollar-in-forex-trading"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">higher  rates and the dollar in Forex trading</span></a> there is often a bottom beyond which  a <a class="zem_slink" title="Currency" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">currency</span></a> will not fall. The support level seems to repel market movement,  thus giving rise to the military terminology sometimes used.</p>
<p>Looking at the underlying mechanics of Forex double bottoms  tells us that the relative values of currencies in a currency pair such as the  EUR/USD are driven by both technical and fundamental factors. <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/good-forex-advice"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Good Forex  advice</span></a> is to use both sets of information in <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-trading-the-largest-market-in-the-world"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex  trading the largest market in the world</span></a>. Staying current on events that  drive currency trading is a big part of how <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex-strategies/forex-strategy-and-the-forex-news"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex  trading and the Forex news</span></a> are intertwined. Traders watch the news; they modify  their trading and the resulting Forex market moves become part of the next Forex  market news.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/how-to-plan-your-trading-day"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How  to plan your trading day</span></a> should include time to take in the news at the  beginning as well as at the end of trading. If you are trading the EUR/USD pair  you recently saw the Euro hit a double bottom and climb a bit. That made the  news. However, that news was preceded by Chairman Bernanke’s testimony. The Fed  Chairman will defend the recovery and job creation by keeping interest rates  low. If inflation ensues the Chairman is less concerned that he would be if the  <a class="zem_slink" title="Economy of the United States" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_United_States"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">US  economy</span></a> does not continue to recover. Traders seeing that the US could head  into more inflation are less likely to buy dollars and more likely to support  the Euro in their trades. Those trading the Euro are still concerned about <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-and-sovereign-debt"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex  and sovereign debt</span></a> as the PIIGS issue is still not resolved. Nevertheless  trader concern about the Euro has a limit and the level when confidence in the  Euro is strong was reached recently as the Euro hit a double bottom and  reversed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The recent rate hike in the emergency funds rate by the  Federal Reserve gets us thinking about higher rates and the dollar in Forex  trading. The Europeans had been complaining about the low value of the dollar  in the USD/EURO currency pair. So, what about higher interest rates and <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/factors-influencing-the-eurusd-pair"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">factors influencing the EURO/USD pair</span></a>? A cheap dollar was encouraging Europeans to  buy less expensive American goods and an expensive Euro was making European  goods overly expensive in the USA. <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-trading-the-euro"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex  trading the Euro</span></a> took on a new face recently with the threat of debt  default by the southern tier of European nations. Now the EURO may suffer  another drop in relative value if the Federal Reserve keeps hiking rates. On  the other hand a lower priced Euro could help industry on the continent and  encourage tourism as summer approaches.</p>
<p>Higher US  interest rates have two basic effects. They tend to slow down the growth of  business because credit becomes more expensive and they attract foreign  purchase of US  debt in the form of Treasury Bills and other interest bearing investments  because these become more profitable. Understanding these basic principles is  important in <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/understanding-the-forex-markets"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">understanding the Forex markets</span></a>. The Federal Reserve has been hesitant to raise rates for fear of choking off the economic recovery before it really gets started. Many  believe that Chairman Bernanke will always opt for economic growth instead of a  strong dollar. The current Fed chairman wrote the book on how tightening credit  instead of loosening it as a major cause of the Great Depression in his  research over the years. The problem for the USA is inflation and a continual  devaluation of the dollar. That is what rate hikes would be meant to remedy so  long as they do not throw the country back into the depths of the recession.</p>
<p>Despite the new issue of higher rates and the dollar in  Forex trading, the matter of <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-and-sovereign-debt"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex  and sovereign debt</span></a> still looms large. Economists, as well a bit of old <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-trading-revisited"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex trading revisited</span></a>, will show us that in the years after a severe economic  decline, like the current recession, debt defaults and bankruptcies are common,  even among nations. Countries pour resources into social support and job  creation in the hope that a recovery will create more jobs and bring in more  tax revenue. When these projections don’t work out and credit runs out, or  maybe the presses printing money break, national bankruptcy threatens. The  daily press may have moved on to the next bright and shiny piece of news,  namely higher rates and the dollar in Forex trading, but Forex traders are  still tuned in to how the European Community will bail out their failing  members.</p>
<p>In the world of international currencies <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/forex-trading-and-opinions"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forex trading and opinions</span></a> go together, but Forex trading and results are what  matter. Knowledge of a possible drop in the Euro because of bankruptcy by the  PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Spain) or a heads up on likely higher  rates and the dollar in Forex trading are of no use unless the trader uses this <a href="http://www.theforexnittygritty.com/forex/good-forex-advice"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">good Forex advice</span></a> in his daily trading, developing Forex strategies and practicing  scenarios to be ready for the swings in the USD/EURO currency pair that result  from the above events.</p>
