Volatile day on the markets as Mark Carney battles markets (Joshua Privett)

(Before It's News)

The difference between the high and the low today was more than a 1.5 cents. Mark Carney’s speech today was fantastic example of how much a single speech can affect market activity.

I predicted he would come out with calming tones about inflation to try and install more confidence in the UK recovery. The fact that interest rates were even mentioned was a surprise. The fact that he said the timeline had moved forward to raise them was a complete shock. In a matter of minutes Sterling moved up by more than a cent against the Euro.

This is a lesson in global economic climate. With interest rates being kept low for so long, investors are desperate for potential profit. Even emerging markets with traditionally higher returns are slowing down. Hints of rate rises are enough to flood demand for any currency, and hence bolster their value, visible on your screens at home.

However, the effects of a looming election brought rates back to the low 1.36′s. This has certainly been the trend over the past few weeks, though recent movements have shown the momentum is slowing.

The first bit of data that brought rates back up was UK retail sales. It’s possible that GDP figures for the UK on Tuesday next week shall present similar buying opportunities for those looking to purchase Euros.

  • Frankly speaking every day in Forex is a volatile day but we have to just be at the right side to feel happy otherwise getting caught at wrong place will only make us frustrated and we won’t be able to recover it easily. I have learned a lot to tackle situation from Baby pips but ultimate relief came from OctaFX. They have superb conditions which include small spread of 0.2 pips plus also have great leverage up to 1:500 so with that much in my favor it is just awesome.
