Forex Market: Mass Ratings Downgrades Fuel Debt Crisis Concern

 

FOREX MARKET

Markets are going to remain nervous for some more time as S&P ratings agency punished nine eurozone countries with downgrades and to striped France and Austria of their triple-A ratings. Even though S&P said that Germany’s rating is in excellent condition, the downgrading is likely to have direct consequences for country. EUR/USD had fallen sharply after the statement. FOREX MARKET investors should be cautious as the bad news will have more impact on the financial markets.

S&P said “We have lowered the long-term ratings on Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, and Spain by two notches; lowered the long-term ratings on Austria, France, Malta, Slovakia, and Slovenia, by one notch; and affirmed the long-term ratings on Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. All ratings have been removed from CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications on Dec. 5, 2011 (except for Cyprus, which was first placed on CreditWatch on Aug. 12, 2011)” in its statement. We believe that the negative outlooks for virtually every eurozone country suggest that the debt crisis will remain an issue for the forex market throughout this year.

EU leaders have to act faster and regain investors’ confidence in order to control the ongoing crisis. However, it seems that eurozone chiefs will continue to rely on state level solutions like fiscal union and debt brake. In addition, the downgrade of the nine countries will increase pressure for all of the eurozone countries to solve their budget and debt problems. Some forex market investors think that relations among the eurozone members are likely to become more difficult after this point.

Forex market has been expecting downgrades of France and other European countries, but it is hard to tell how much the downgrades have already been priced in. director of the European Centre for International Political Economy, Fredrik Erixon said “The U.S. is still rightly seen as a safe haven. The U.S. is a big liquid economy with a strong tradition of honoring its debts in modern times and a central bank pledged to take action if needed. It’s different with France in the sense that they cannot rely on strong central bank policies”.

What we can take away from the above analysis is that. With more possible downgrading to come on other European Countries. We will remain bearish when trading the Eur. And to look for opportunities to enter on rebound of the Eur/Usd.

    • Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/     
    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
