Market Movers Podcast Test Episode #8: correlations, geo-politics and

Here is another test episode of  Market Movers, presented by Lior Cohen of Trading NRG and Yohay Elam of Forex Crunch. As you can see from the title, we are still in a testing period. You are welcome to listen, subscribe and  provide feedback. We added a nice intro and a nice outro this time.

In today’s episode, we discuss three topics:

  1. Correlations: There are often correlations between various financial instruments.  When can one asset indicate a move in another? What happens when correlations are broken? And where are the black swans? Here are some answers.
  2. Geo-politics: The downing of MH17 and the ongoing fighting in Gaza and Israel has an  impact on markets. We talk about the markets that are moving, the opportunities that can be seized and more.
  3. Sterling loses its shine: The British pound has been a big mover and it hasn’t finished yet. We dive into what  happened to GBP after the impressive rally and what is awaiting us.

Yohay Elam: Founder, Writer and Editor I have been into forex trading for over 5 years, and I share the experience that I have and the knowledge that I've accumulated. After taking a short course about forex. Like many forex traders, I've earned a significant share of my knowledge the hard way. Macroeconomics, the impact of news on the ever-moving currency markets and trading psychology have always fascinated me. Before founding Forex Crunch, I've worked as a programmer in various hi-tech companies. I have a B. Sc. in Computer Science from Ben Gurion University. Given this background, forex software has a relatively bigger share in the posts.
