Currency Trading
How can I make money
Currency Trading?
In a low interest rate
environment like the US, it can be a problem to invest in
secure high-yielding fixed income investments. Most of these
investments are around the base rate as set by the
government. It would be difficult to get secure investments
around the 3% mark. In New Zealand or Australia some fixed
interest investments are worth 7.5% or 8%. An issue with
making an investment abroad is that currency rates are so
volatile that even though you make 5% on yield, that gain
can be wiped out in currency rates.
Equally, currency rates can work in
your favour and your investment will have an extremely high
yield. To eliminate this uncertainty you can make a foreign
investment today using a spot trade and also set up a
forward trade at the time of investment maturity. This way
you eliminate currency risk in your investment and can
capitalise on foreign products. Setting up a forward trade
costs money but in many instances the cost of the trade
is minimal in comparison to the gains that can be made.
