ForexNewsMarket.com - 24/5 Market News, Analysis & Trading Strategies2/12/2009 Forex News Congress Questions Whether Or Not The Fed Should Have Such Broad Controls Over The EconomyCongress questioned several high ranking Fed officials including the Federal Reserve Chairman regarding the widespread powers the Fed holds over the economy. Congress is mainly making inquiries about how such power was used in the past & how it may be used in the future in order to ensure a more stable economy. The Fed assured congress that reporting on it's future actions will be better & overall more detailed. U.S. Government Set On Saving Banks, Increasing InvestmentsThe newly announced Financial Stability Plan is key to saving the nation's major banks & financial institutions. Among other goals, the plan aims to increase lending & encourage investment, both domestic & international. However, investment from international sources has never been a problem during this economic crisis. Many investors have decided to place their funds in the United States due to the excellent security policies as well as overall financial stability in the country. The flow of investments has helped the USD rise against most majors in the recent long run and the trend is most likely to continue. Domestic investment has been relatively lacking since the recession was announced in late 2008, along with overall credit flow in the nation. This plan should provide, if anything, a boost in confidence for investors & debtors alike, helping to spark an economy which has been lagging for the past few months. Forex TV AdsAs Forex trading is becoming more & more popular internationally, brokers are finally beginning to take the next major step in advertising, TV commercials. Two brokers have taken the initiative to advertise on national television in the United States, while many others have broadcasted to certain regions. Forex brokers are likely to continue this trend of TV advertising as it is one of the most effective methods to reach a large, diversified audience of investors who may be interested in currency trading or who are looking to switch brokers.

Several government rescue & stimulus plans announced over the past few months, including the one announced in the middle of last week, have failed to rally the markets as hoped. The plans are intended to help homeowners pay their mortgage, to jump start the flow of credit from creditors to debtors, to encourage consumer spend and, possibly the most important goal, to restore confidence in the economy.
Whether the plans will achieve the first three goals is yet to be seen, but they have, for the most part, failed to restore confidence in the economy.
Despite such shortcomings, the United States still remains the most secure and popular place to hold investments, as more & more international investments flow into the country due to the economic crisis.

ForexNewsMarket.com - 24/5 Market News, Analysis & Trading Strategies2/16/2009 Forex News Demand for Crude Oil to Drop Within The Next Few MonthsInternational demand for crude oil has seen a drastic drop the past 6 months and prices have followed. Despite efforts by producers to decrease supply in order to stabilize the market and a small rise in prices over the past few weeks, the demand for crude is expected to drop even further in the next few months. As prices rose the highest on record during the summer of 2008, oil companies reported record profits. While the oil companies were reporting their financial gains, those at the pump were much less optimistic. The cost of living had risen sharply due to the cost of oil, weakening the economy among other factors. The oil bubble finally popped when the recession in the United States began to effect the international economy in the late months of last year. As demand fell rapidly to less than half of the highest price during the summer. Now, once again, experts predict a drop in oil prices. Is 99 cents/gallon in our future? Only time will tell. High Unemployment in the UKThere are new problems for the UK which is already in a deep recession. Recent hikes in the unemployment rate show the countries plight is getting worse and, despite efforts by the government to counteract the problem, the situation may get worse. As unemployment rises, consumers, like those in the States, are spending less, slowing the economy further. The economy & unemployment rate are both expected to worsen by 2010, leaving the UK in an even more dire state than it currently finds itself.

New Foreclosure Plan To Save Homeowners
The Foreclosure Plan created by the new administration aims to save up to 9 million homeowners. The plan will help those with mortgages modify certain parts of their loan in order to decrease the payments while making it easier for homeowners to refinance in order to jumpstart the housing market as the economy as a whole.
The plan also aims to prevent predatory lending by limiting mortgage payments to 31% of a homeowners income max. This will be a significant step towards preventing another mass foreclosure situation.

The End of the Economic Crisis: Is It Coming Sooner Than We Think?The international economic crisis has, in some way, been a burden on every country in the past few months. Some experts predict that the crisis will end in June or July of 2009, while others are saying that 2010 or 2011 and more realistic timelines. While economists disagree on when the crisis will subside, they agree on one thing, it will get worse before it gets better. While we may not know exactly when countries' economies will again be in full swing, we can predict that the early summer months are 2009 bring hope and, with Obama's stimulus plans, these months bring the best opportunity for economic recovery.

Going Green: The Answer To A Struggling Economy?Over the past few years, more & more individuals as well as companies throughout the world have made an effort to go green in order to protect the environment and decrease the industrialized world's dependence on oil as an energy source. While "going green" would surely help achieve these goals, there's another aspect to the green revolution that many are now just beginning to realize, economic repair. Going green on an international scale involves building new infrastructure, factors, supply chains and energy plants in order to support the widespread production and use of alternative, renewable sources of energy. The resulting jobs will spark many of the world's most desperate economic powers and could bring an end to the international economic crisis. Forecast Gloomy for German EconomyGermany, which has been consistently struggling over the past few months like most countries in Europe, could be headed from an even more gloomy 2009. Economists predict that the European power's economy could shrink by up to 2% this year, causing further depreciation in the EUR.

Forex Broker Competition - What Does It Mean For You?
The competition for new traders has spiked over the past year & a half as Forex trading becomes more & more popular, especially in an economy where making money with stocks has become increasingly difficult.
Stiffer competition means more broker bonuses, better customer service and special promotions such as trading contests & free $25 deposit accounts*.
What does this mean for you, the trader? Put simply, it means more money in your pocket.
When brokers compete, traders have better options, more incentives to open an account with a broker and larger bonuses to enjoy.
The ever increasing race to attract the thousands of new, daily, Forex traders means the competition has only just begun.
* A free $25 bonus account is a type of trading account in which the broker deposits $25 for the trader to trade with, without the need of any initial deposit by the trader him or herself. Brokers open these accounts hoping that people will eventually want to trade with more money and make a larger deposit.

Obama explained how his stimulus plans regarding real estate, unemployment and the overall economic well-being of the country will build a foundation for nation's, and eventually the world's, economic prosperity. The Address should instill confidence in the fragile stock markets as well as the USD. Obama also spoke about issues such as the war in Iraq, terrorism groups throughout the world and importance of bipartisanship in the United States Congress.
Commodity Trading Taking The Lead As A Method Of InvestmentAs the stock market becomes more & more volatile everyday, trading commodities is quickly growing in popularity. Commodities are effected by international supply and demand, causing their values to constantly chance such as those of currencies and stocks. Rather than investing in specific companies, more investors are beginning to sink funds into oil, gold, silver & other precious metals. Whether these types of investments are more stable than the stocks can be debated but one thing is for certain: in a bear market such as this, it never hurts to expand your options.

Several large U.S. based credit card companies are for an escape.
From what? From the very type of customer that used to be a credit card companies dream: customers carrying very high balances.
Credit card companies used to relish having these types of customers, encouraging them to keep their balances high through "reward points" and high spending "bonuses" but now, due to the recession and increasing defaults on credit cards, the companies are changing their tune.
These credit giants are looking for ways to ditch customers who have high balances. Tactics such as raising the minimum payment percentage to lowering the customer's credit limit without warning are being used to get debtor's balances down and eventually eliminate them altogether.
Although this may initially lighten the average American consumers wallet, it may be an overall positive economic move in the long run, helping to eliminate debtors credit card balance and, most importantly, stop the interest rate thieves in their tracks.

[color="#008000"][size="2"]ForexNewsMarket.com[/size][/color][SIZE="2"] - 24/5 Trading Strategies, Market News & Analysis[/SIZE]Oil Prices RisingSince August 2008, oil prices have been dropping steadily due to decreasing demand, however that may be about to change. As OPEC threatens to cut oil production once again, prices are beginning to rise. If the hike in prices continues it could mean more troubles for countries in difficult financial situations due to the economic crisis, such as the UK & Japan, slowing down the world's economic movement even further.
Forecast Gloomy for German EconomyGermany, which has been consistently struggling over the past few months like most countries in Europe, could be headed from an even more gloomy 2009. Economists predict that the European power's economy could shrink by up to 2% this year, causing further depreciation in the EUR.

[COLOR="Green"]ForexNewsMarket.com[/COLOR] - 24/5 Trading Strategies, Market News & Analysis3/12/2009 News The Big 3 Showing Signs Of HopeSince the large government bailout was given to the Big 3, not much has been heard from them, until now. One of America's largest automakers reported that cost cutting and effective advertising are improving their financial situation. The news is a rare sign of hope for the Big 3, a group that only a few months ago many investors expected to fail. Alternative Energy SourcesWith many companies working on real alternative energy sources worldwide, the dream of fueling our lives with something other than oil is closer than we may think. The technology for harnessing mainstream alternative energy sources already exists, now all that's left to do is establish the infrastructure. With "going green" the new trend in most industrialized nations including the United States, this could happen within the next 10 years.
