Book
While the mechanics of forex markets and the theories underpinning them have been largely explored, there has been little discussion regarding the practical intermarket relationships shaping currencies via interest rates, equities, and commodities. “Currency Trading and Intermarket Analysis” is the first work to provide illustrative and indepth analysis on the evolving relationships shaping currencies, metals, energy and agricultural commodities, while devoting full chapters on the increasingly important topics of risk appetite, yield curves and how these underpin currencies. Ashraf’s approach to gold/oil ratios and yield curves enabled him to call the beginning of the Fed’s interest rate cuts four months before their realization in August 2007, while predicting the erosion in yen crosses.
