Understanding currency risk rankings & how to profit from them – even if you’re not a forex trader

Part 2B of our series on inter-market analysis. How the major currencies and pairs respond to market sentiment, why all types of traders or investors need to know it, and how anyone can use it for safer and higher returns. Enjoy.

Continued from Part A

Currency Correlations With Risk Sentiment: A Useful But Imperfect Tool

While the above risk ranking is useful for predicting how currencies should be moving at a given time, in reality currencies rarely perform exactly according to their risk ranking in strongly ‘risk on’ or ‘risk off’ periods  on any given day. There are other drivers of forex trends besides risk appetite and these can and do dominate currency movements, especially in the short term.

A few examples of such influences include:

Currency specific news or longer term developments in that currency’s underlying economy can also alter these relationships. For example even on strong ‘risk’ on days or longer periods, bad economic news about the Australian economy, or its chief trading partner, China, can cause the AUD to underperform other risk currencies. Economy-specific news and other short term developments are a major reason why currencies don’t perform in accordance with market sentiment in the short term.

Relative strength of a currency’s primary trading counterpart can also alter how a currency should behave based on its place on the risk spectrum. Currencies trade in pairs, so changes in currency pair prices always reflect changes in relative value. In some cases changes in demand for one currency can have dramatic effects on the other that have no direct connection to changes in risk appetite. For example, as we discussed in Part 1 of this series here, the EUR and USD virtually force each other to move in opposite directions because they are the most widely traded currencies and so purchases of one are so often funded by sales of the other. Thus if one is being heavily bought the other will tend to sell off regardless of normal drivers like risk appetite.

Central bank interventions can be a classic kind of event that alters how we’d expect a currency to behave relative to risk appetite. For example, during the summer of June 2011 when EU crisis anxiety was high and investors were flooding into the CHF, the Swiss central bank intervened to keep the CHF from rising beyond a certain rate in order to keep Swiss export prices down and competitive within the EU, Switzerland’s chief export market. The CHF plunged vs. the USD, EUR, and other currencies due to this intervention, not because of any big change in risk appetite.

Of course, in recent years central bank interventions (or speculation about them) have become, ahem, more than just outlier events. They are now an ever-present global market driver and are likely to remain so for years as until economies are healthy enough to prosper without them.

Central Bank Interventions As Primary Risk Sentiment Drivers

It’s no secret that central bank interventions have in fact BEEN a primary (if not THE primary) market sentiment driver. It certainly wasn’t improvements in the normal economic fundamentals that have driven most global stock markets in the developed world up near historic highs for most of 2013. Indeed we’ve had slow to flat growth or worse in employment, wages, and earnings.

Not only has the rally in stocks to historic highs lacked fundamental support, it has occurred under an exceptional number of recessionary threats. For example:

  • The slowdown in the world’s one big growth engine, China
  • The dormant but very much alive and unsolved EU debt and banking crisis
  • Japan’s experiment with radical easing despite it’s already highest in the developed world debt/GDP and lack of any clear way to reduce it as its workforce and trade balance continue to shrink

The point is, in the current environment; don’t forget that central bank interventions have not been outlier events, but rather primary drivers of currency trends, both via their effects on interest rates and overall risk sentiment.

Seek The Underlying Drivers of Risk Appetite

That brings us to our concluding point.

While it’s very useful to know how to monitor risk appetite, (as we discuss in Part 3 of this series), and how to use currency pairs as another tool for hedging or profiting in times of changing  risk sentiment, don’t forget what risk sentiment really is and where it comes from.

Remember that that risk sentiment doesn’t just create itself, it is usually just a shorthand description of the net effect of one or more underlying fundamental market drivers, regardless of whether we can accurately identify all of them.

Attempting to read risk sentiment and how currencies (or whatever your asset of choice) will react is useful, but it’s not a substitute for real fundamental analysis of what’s driving markets in your given time frame.

The Fastest, Easiest Way To Know What’s Driving The Markets

Unfortunately, that can be time consuming and complex.

Fortunately, there’s an easier way.

Just follow me. New to fxempire.com, I’ll be providing updates on what are prime forces moving most or all of the major global asset markets. Sometimes the updates will come daily, sometimes weekly. It all depends on what’s happening in the markets.

What You Need To Succeed

If you’re a forex trader or income investor seeking safer, higher returns, then this book is a must-read.

You can view parts of it for free using the “Look Inside” feature here on the book’s amazon.com page.

It’s the only forex book specifically for those interested in safer, simpler ways to trade currencies (or other assets), or to build a currency-diversified income stream that will keep central bank currency debasers out of your pocket.

The hardest thing about gaining expertise in trading or investing is finding the right guides that don’t waste and exhaust your time and money.

I wrote this book because I couldn’t find that one book that would get me started on these topics.

For aspiring traders

It’s got a wealth of information on:

  • The fundamentals of forex,
  • Technical and fundamental analysis,
  • How to find and implement trades with the best risk/reward ratio
  • The risk and money management  skills to keep your capital and confidence intact
  • The key psychological aspects of trading to help you
    • find the trading method that fits you and avoid the futile, fatal mistake of trying to fit yourself to trading methods for which you’re unsuited
    • maintain the right attitudes towards successes and failures, both of which can destroy your trading career if you’re not prepared for them.

For long term income investors

In addition to the above, it shows you how to build an income stream that’s diversified into the currencies most likely to hold their long term value.
