Holden continued, "My team and I have laid out interesting trends and explanations to show how the panic made things worse than they should have been. Whilst we at FOREXYARD believe that economic education is the key to success in this market, there's nothing like the opportunity to analyze previous events from a 'that could have been me' perspective."

Nicosia, Cyprus -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/02/2009 -- Every year, FOREXYARD analysts come together and discuss the most intriguing events and currencies that made this year special for forex traders. In 2008, it was a tight race between the EUR/USD and the EUR/GBP as both pairs made significant price movements, but in the end, the Euro-Dollar was a no-brainer.

The 5 Reasons the EUR/USD is our story of FOREX 2008:

In general, 2008 began with a discussion about whether the world was entering a recession. Many analysts began predicting the downfall of the U.S. as the world's economic leader, and many still are. Moreover, the last few months have forced economists to reevaluate their data as nothing appeared to make sense once the financial crisis and global recession were fully underway. Here we will try to lay out our explanation for what happened to make the EUR/USD the most interesting currency pair to watch in 2008. Of course there are undoubtedly more explanations than those listed here, we will nevertheless provide only those 5 elements which we feel had the most impact.

5. Automotive Industry Failure. Towards the end of the year, the U.S. automotive giants GM, Chrysler, and Ford each requested a financial bailout from the government as they were at risk of bankruptcy. The debate raged on about whether or not to give any funds to these top-heavy corporations which are years behind in developing fuel-efficient automobiles. As fear grew that the government would not bailout these auto giants, a vital aspect of the manufacturing sector of the American economy, confidence in U.S. markets once again faltered, leading to a sharp appreciation in the value of the EUR against the Dollar. These auto giants have lost their grip on some emerging automotive markets and other car-producing companies around the world are benefiting from their near-collapse. Following these events, the pair then grew back towards the 1.4100 price level, where it currently sits for the start of 2009.

4. The Election of Barack Obama. The euphoria which came with the conclusion of the presidential elections in the United States was impossible to miss. With the conclusion of the George W. Bush regime, and the coming of a new face, optimism reigned supreme throughout world markets. As one of his first moves, Barack Obama announced his economic advisors and rescue plan before addressing any other issue. This focused attention by a fresh regime brought with it vast amounts of confidence in the American economy, thereby strengthening the Dollar even further against the EUR through October and November, falling as low as 1.2300.

3. Falling Crude Oil Prices. Whether the strengthening of the USD in August led to the decline in Crude Oil prices, or whether declining oil prices helped strengthen the USD, is up for debate. One thing for certain is that once the economic recession was underway, the bottom dropped out on the demand for energy. This falling demand has spawned endless debate over the capabilities of OPEC, oil production cuts, alternative energies and the economic recession, among other things. The primary impact was that traders were bailing out of whatever positions they held with Crude Oil and entering into long USD positions as a safe-haven to weather the hardship of the recession, driving its value higher.

2. The Onset of Economic Recession and Subsequent Rate Cuts. While many were forecasting a recession before the start of the year, its onset still made a nasty impact on world markets. Call it the hope and optimism of investors, but when news began to break that a recession was occurring there was shock and dismay as if it hadn't been expected. The psychological impact of knowing a recession was underway was enough to push investors in and out of currencies unpredictably as they sought out a safe-haven for their funds. One such safe-haven was, and always has been, the U.S. Dollar. Starting in August, when the recession was fully realized, the USD began to strengthen against the EUR as a result of it being the primary safe-haven.

Also as a result of the recession, and of the sporadic price movements of world currencies, governments began taking steps to ensure market liquidity and boost investor confidence. The primary impact was a reduction of global interest rates to the point where there are almost zero interest rates, which has further weakened currencies but stabilized economies to some extent. The impact of these rate cuts on the EUR/USD depended on which central bank was slashing rates, but the movement which came afterwards made the market an intriguing spectacle to watch.

1. The Sub-Prime Mortgage Crisis. The burst of the real estate bubble in the United States sparked off a chain reaction which many economists had feared. All of the unregulated sub-prime mortgages, which had been issued during the heyday of the growing housing bubble, were put into default moments after housing prices began to come down. International securities backed by these mortgages then lost most of their value, which meant a loss of capital and liquidity for many banks. This then resulted in the multiple failures of international bank giants such as AIG and Citi Group. Leading up to this crisis, the USD went bearish as investors lost confidence in American markets, pushing the pair to the 1.6000 level from April to July.

Looking forward to the coming year, one can't help but wonder what will happen. The recession is far from over; interest rates are close to zero and still dropping; Crude Oil prices have yet to stabilize; Obama hasn't yet taken office; and the auto industries may still file for bankruptcy early in the year. Regardless of all this, optimism remains. History has taught us that economies work in cycles. While the global economic system may be in contraction, investors must remember that it isn't permanent. What goes up must come down. But when it comes to economics: what goes down will eventually come back up.

The one market in which investors can still make money is in the forex market. Stocks may fall, companies and banks may fail, but the one resource that will always be in demand is money.

Forexyard analysts take a moment away from their normal forex trading analyses and look into the crashing prices of Crude Oil. As prices drop, Forexyard analysts look into the possible scenarios that may dictate the future price of Oil while asserting a predicted value of $60 for Crude Oil before the end of November.

Nicosia, Cyprus -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/29/2008 -- Heading into it's second week below a near 1.5 year record low, Crude Oil prices seem to be showing signs of resilience. FOREXYARD analysts though aren't swayed by these events. With prices hovering near $65 per barrel, it is difficult for many forex and commodity traders to fathom a price for Oil even lower, but that is precisely what may occur if OPEC does little to change production levels. Analysts at FOREXYARD are convinced that without OPEC's production side intervention, prices can very well drop below $60 before the end of November. The only reason prices are currently being propped up, say FOREXYARD, is the fact that the world is entering the largest consumption period for oil; winter. As temperatures plunge in the US, Europe, and Russia, the demand for oil and oil products will in fact rise.
 
The demand structure could very well be the reasons OPEC is still in a wait and see stance. As markets bounce from record falls to massive gains, crude oil has simply dropped over the last 3 months. However, in general terms, $60 a barrel makes it near impossible for many companies in specific regions, like the US and Canada, to pull oil out of the ground. At $60, it simply isn't cost effective, and oil companies shift production back to regions where the cost of pulling the oil out of the ground is cheaper like in the North Sea, Arabia, and the Gulf of Mexico. Without higher prices, supply will actually decrease, thus pushing prices higher nonetheless.
 
In short, their are a number of scenarios to look for as the situation with oil is far more complex than that of the currency market or forex market. Oil prices are being supported by actual demand and supply issues governing future developments. As such, the scenarios are as follows: Barring any sudden moves by OPEC, prices should remain stable in and around $60-75 per barrel until year's end. If however, the dollar continues to rise beyond 1.20 EUR/USD, look for oil prices to drop as low as $50. The general trend from today's standpoint is a continuation of the appreciation of the USD (US Dollar) and as such a continuation of the fall in Crude Oil is to be expected. FOREXYARD is placing it's target price at a return to $60 a near 7.25% change from today, and this before the end of November. Commodity trading can be quite lucrative from that stand point.

With the recent turmoil in world markets, Forex analysts predict 1.31 EUR/USD before year's end

Nicosia, Cyprus -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/17/2008 -- With the recent turmoil in world markets, many investors have found themselves at a loss as to what to believe in. It seems incredibly difficult these days to make a decision as to the fate of world markets. Worse still is the decision making needs of the traders in the forex market. Forex analysts at Forexyard.com have been piecing together the fragments of the current post economic bust in an attempt to understand what, if any, sense can be made. And, it turns out, quite a bit of sense can be ascertained, from a foreign exchange and macro perspective. Where stock traders are going wrong, forex traders are going right.
 
Let's look deeper at forex trading current situation http://www.forexyard.com. Traders are seeking logic, safe havens, and most importantly security. So, how does this affect the current foreign exchange picture? Quite simply, USD bullishness. Seems kind of counter intuitive, but the fact that the US economy is in seeming shambles, actually strengthens the American Dollar. Traders are looking for a better option than what they may currently be holding be it Euros or Sterling. When the whole world takes a turn for the worst, traders turn to gold and dollars.
 
However, the unique aspect of the current blow up is the fate of the price of crude oil, which has tumbled over 46% while the US works out a comprehensive bailout package, backed by the FED. The fact is, the dollar will not be able to sustain any real long term strength, but forexyard's medium term target is now 1.31 before year's end but expect a rebound of the EUR and GBP in 2009 with end of quarter 1 expectations hovering closer to 1.47 EUR/USD.
