Happy Thanksgiving to all our US readers, here are some of the things that we’re most thankful for right now.
1. Volatility is back in the forex market. In the middle of the Summer there were some dark days for market moves; it was tough to get excited about those 10-pip daily moves in USD/JPY.
2. Strong trends. The rally in the US dollar since mid-August has been a beautiful example of what gets people excited in the forex market.
3. Central bank moves. What creates volatility and trends is central bank expectations and surprises. The ECB finally getting the message on the economy, the BOJ surprise and the Fed talking about rate hikes are what makes the market move. It’s also a great challenge to try and figure out what’s next.
4. Having the most-savvy forex audience. We’re lucky to have readers who are true professionals and we learn so much from you.
5. The chance to work in markets and have fun every day.
