Two weeks ago investors in the Aussie Dollar were on the receiving end of a sweet surprise. The official unemployment rate dropped to 5.9%, smashing analysts’ expectations. That suggested the Reserve Bank of Australia’s latest easing cycle, which began about a year ago, might soon be ending.

But before you jump on the Aussie bandwagon, you need the right strategy.

Aussie Outlook Looking Brighter

The truth is that the whiff of optimism had been long overdue for the Aussie Dollar. Even before the unemployment data there had been tentative signs of stabilization in the Australian economy.

Based on economic data and what the Federal Reserve Committee members have been saying over the past few weeks, it would appear the US Central Bank is ready to increase interest rates for the first time since 2006. The Fed has held the benchmark rate near zero since 2008 to help spur economic growth. But with the US economy moving forward, the days of cheap money may be numbered.

I recently wrote about why I believe the Fed will raise rates at the December Fed meeting so today I would like to point out a few industries that could benefit from a rate increase and some ETF'S that focus on those industries.

The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders everywhere. As we start this shortened trading week with Thanksgiving coming on Thursday, I thought it would be a good time to give thanks to you for your business and the trust you have placed in our company and services.

You may have heard the expression, "the more things change, the more they stay the same" and that same metaphor can be applied to today's markets.

A market can only do three things, it can go up, down or sideways, that's it! How many things in life do you know that are that simple? The problem we have as human beings is that we tend to overthink situations and the market certainly is a subject that is made complicated by overthinking.

This week leading up to Thanksgiving I'm going to feature a series of lessons to help get back to the basics and understanding what moves a market. Starting today, I will feature two lessons for you to watch and learn from. It doesn't matter if you're a novice trader just starting out, or a professional trader, sometimes it is just good to go through the basics to understand what makes the markets move.

The lessons come from a series of videos I did titled, "Traders Whiteboard." There are six lessons in all and we will go through them all by Wednesday of this week.

Here are today's two featured lessons: Continue reading "The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same" →

Copper Update: "Black Gold" Is Too Wild

Last time I shared with you a clear signal from Crude oil to short Copper for a good dip down. Oil has dropped as foreseen from the $47.7 level. That's down a good $8 (17%) and it dragged Copper down along the way. This confirms Copper's tight relationship with Crude oil. Copper plummeted for a nice gain from a short position which has reached .35 (15% smaller than from Oil short) on Friday's low ($2.03). My original targets haven’t been met in both instruments ($ 37.7 Oil and $1.9 Copper), and that is why I would like to discuss my concerns with you.

Again we will start with the leading instrument in my regular cross-instrument analysis. Continue reading "Copper Update: "Black Gold" Is Too Wild" →
