Pound sterling hit to a seven-week low against Euro and it is expected that the trend will continue till the week-end. The Euro has been sharply rising since last Friday against major currencies and it has been predicted by our financial analysts that Euro will keep on rising till the month of September. The forecast for euro currency exchange rate is positive and investors will benefit from the upward market trend of Euro. “Euro will never crash or come to an end”, says Ferell Johnson, Cheif Executive of Universal Exchange. Traders have witnessed heavy movements in euros which drove the pound down and euro up. The dollar rose to 0.4 percent to $1.5226 against sterling which gave stability to greenback. The Euro is currently traded at $1.29. Heavy euro trading has been recorded after the news of euro currency rise, forcing forex investors to head for eurozone instead of sterling. The former President of Oxbridge has commented saying the pound fall is forced by the U.K. Govt. to increase euro trade, the second reason for pushing pound down is to create a hedge against euro for long term investments therefore the new investors are advised to buy pound sterling if they seriously want to trade and earn more than 20% profits.

The Stock Markets around the world were seen under negative trend specially in China where the industrial companies dropped and banks of China were seen rising. The stock markets around the world were cautious as U.S. services reports were disappointing allowing investors to be cautious in making investment move.

On the other hand the wall street was seen rising and Dow is now unexpectedly rising above 10,000 points. Crude oil was seen dropping whereas the dollar also fell against yen. Euro currency exchange which was expected to rise also weakened. The forecasting of Jim Rogers was wrong on Euro which he gave a month back.

Negative market trend was witnessed in European markets as FTSE was up 2 percent to 5,080.55. Germany’s DAX opened 0.1 percent lower to 6,010.47. Investors believe that Fifa world cup semi final match which was held in South Africa between Germany and Spain caused DAX to fall this morning. France’s CAC-40 was on 1.3 percent to 3,529.65 and Jap’s Nikkei 225 stock average closed down 0.3 percent at 9,276.65.

Euro dips 0.2 pct to $1.2345 which is another negative day for eurozone. The Swiss franc also hit high against euro but this news will short live because analysts have predicted euro to incline in the month of July and will keep on rising till October. The investors are advised to buy euros now and sell in the month of September which will earn you a 20% gain on investments.

On the other hand, the dollar is stable again and will be stable for long unless another oil spill clean sweep budget is decided.Sterling has also hit high against euro and dollar. The sterling investors have the opportunity to cash their pound investments and if they decide not to, its fairly okay because sterling peak time will continue till a couple of months. This is euro’s 18 month low against sterling but euro will soon start recovering by the mid of July and will continue to incline almost 22%. Euro showed heavy selling around the world because investors are stockpiling the currency for safer and profitable investments. The Euro outlook now looks attractive against U.S. Dollars

Euro has fallen sharply against dollar and will continue to fall until some strong measures are not taken by the E.U. Analysts say that the North and South Korean tensions have made euro fall but the reality is that euro is the most favourite currency of investors. The downfall of euro has been welcomed by the investors and Euros have seen heavy selling around the world. The price fall and rise of Euro makes it the best Forex around the world. Not even Dollar or Pound has that variation which would allow forex traders to invest and earn 15% profit in just 6 months. Better than stock market because the risk is lower and there is always a boom after a downfall in Euro.

After Euro, Japanese yen is another currency to play with but investors prefer Euro due to its strong portfolio. UK is in euro but is not effected by euro zone. If you have investments in Euro and you planned it for longer terms than its feasible to keep those investments but as analysts say, don’t put all your eggs in one baskets, it will be better for you to scatter your investments and make some gold investments as well which will provide you a hedge against the falling euro rates and will be easy for you to keep track of forecast, news and analysis. 1 Euro = 1.2242 U.S. dollars and it will fall to $ 1.0821

Dollar fell today against Yen due to extreme remarks from the Bank of Japs’ governor about their country’s price weakening speculations. They said that the state bank will ease monetary policy by the end of this month.

This, not only effected dollar rates in Japan but signaled the Asian economy about the low spectrum of dollar downfall. The greenback is likely to fall until some serious measures are taken by the U.S. Govt. On the other hand, U.S. stock market gained as dollar weakened allowing investors to grow hopes and investments. The dollar declined to 93.15 yen from 93.21. The dollar dropped against the Swiss franc nearly one cent to 1.0663 from 1.0739 francs a day ago. The maturity came after guesswork increased about a looming EU verdict to execute a rescue package for Greece. The dollar also appears to be weaker when compared to the Canadian and the Australian dollars.

There is evidently more pressure to sell dollars from corporate clients. Financiere analysts forecasts that if Retail Sales post a strong gain, they could stoke rumor that the Fed will raise rates sooner rather than later and boost the U.S. Dollar.

The U.S. dollar rose on Saturday against Euro, the future plunging currency. Our financial advisory division forecasted euro plunge in near future and warned investors to avoid further investments in euro, at least for six to eight months. The dollar rose to 0.9 percent marking its current position to $1.340. The dollar is now looked upon as safety currency because euro’s outlook is blurred, unclear and uncertain. It is very common amongst investors that when they become uncertain about investments, they try to invest in major currency which is now U.S. dollar after euro’s downfall.

The yen also fell against dollar and 15 other most traded currencies as Japanese consumer price (CPI) plunged this week forcing its central bank to raise interest rates. Similarly, the Canadian and Australian dollars also fell against the greenback.

U.S. payrolls added 190,000 jobs in March, increasing the likelihood the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in the near future. This will give a stronger position to the dollar but only for a short-term. For long term investments, investors should move ahead towards “Better investment than U.S. dollar” which is gold.

But The U.S. dollar is the most regularly used currency in international market up till this day. The fact that the U.S. is the world’s largest trading nation is only part of the reason. The value of international market in dollars is much larger than the total business conducted by the U.S. and countries with currencies linked to the greenback. This is predominantly true in Asia, where many countries bill more than 80% of their exports in dollars.

In this modern era, where competition is elevated and earning money is not easy, people should have a sound grip on how and where to invest.

India is the world’s largest gold-consuming nation. The share of gold in international market is 1.5X that of the U.S. although its GDP is only one-twentieth the size of the U.S. GDP. With its soaring rate of gold consumption, India accounts for 18% of the annual worldwide gold demand, while its share of global GDP on nominal dollar GDP is only 1.6%.

India is experiencing an 80% growth in gold investment following a relaxed trade and market limitations. The gold increased 242 per cent between March 1999 and March 2010 which is equivalent of an average annual return of 13.1 per cent and it also outpaced inflation which has increased by 30 per cent during the decade or by an average 2.7 per cent a year. Monetary authorities in India are not tremendously positive about the outlook of U.S. dollar thus their hedge against Dollar will help to set the stage for an alternative reserve currency/asset, an offer broadcasted by countries like China, France and Russia.

Despite the slump in the housing market in the past two years, property has produced the second highest return after Gold keeping PSU and BSE on third & forth respectively.

Gold forecast remains bullish as it continues to provide a hedge against weakness in fiat currencies and further confusion in the markets. Gold would be treated as the only solid asset Read the full story

Gold is exclusive because it does not bring any credit risk. Gold is no one’s liability. There is no risk of non payments for a coupon or redemption for bonds and that a company will go out of business, as for equity. And dissimilar to a currency, the value of gold cannot be affected by the financial policies of the issuing country or destabilized by inflation in that country. A 24-hour trading, wide range of buyers – from the jewelry sector to financial institutions to manufacturers of industrial products – and a wide range of investment channels available, including coins and bars, jewelry, exchange-traded funds, certificates and structured products, makes the liquidity risk very minimal. The gold market is vast and profitable, because of the fact that gold can be traded at narrower spreads and more rapidly than many competing diversifiers or even mainstream investments.

Gold is subject to market risk but many of the risks associated with gold prices are very different from the risks associated with other assets, a factor which enhances gold’s charisma as safest and most secured investments. The specific risks, to which bonds and equities are exposed, including stress on the health of the government and corporate sector during an economic downturn, are not shared by gold.

Volatility is a type of measure for market risk. It measures the spreading of returns for a given security or market index. If an asset is volatile, risk increases. The gold price in general is less volatile than other commodity prices. This is because of the depth and liquidity of the gold market, which is sustained by the availability of large above-ground stocks of gold. Because gold is almost everlasting, nearly all of the gold which has ever been mined still exists. Unlike many other commodities such as, oil or platinum, the geographical diversity of modern mine production further reduces the chances of supply shocks from any specific country or region having an unnecessary impact on the price. As a result, gold is to some extent less volatile than heavily traded blue-chip stock market indices such as the FTSE 100 or the S&P 500.
