HOW DO Economic Events impact Global Currencies:

Meri saheli magazine yearly subscription Foreign exchange traders put the most emphasis on technical analysis, because traders around the world use similar charts and tools in predicting market trends. The reason the FOREX market can be so predictable some times is that if the majority are using the same graph for determining patterns and trends, then it is highly likely that they will act in a similar manner. So several thousand traders who have all charted the same resistance line, for example, will most likely either set their trades and direction conform to that line.  When fundamental data is made available to the public there is a reaction from investors and speculators. Information in the form of news and economic indicators is more vague than that of technical indicators. There is a lot of gray area in this type of analysis. The market will ultimately react to how people think the economic data compares to the current market situation.  Economic indicators usually reveal information that Should cause a currency to go up in price or May cause a currency to go down. The words SHOULD & MAY in the quotes above reveal the ambiguity of the fundamental data. Here is an example of what analyzing fundamental data is like. Lets suppose there are six economic indicators (there are a lot more) Meri saheli hindi magazine subscription.

HOW DO Economic Events impact Global Currencies:

Meri saheli magazine yearly subscription Lets call our six indicators 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Now we wait for the data from our indicators to be published in a financial magazine or at an online source. We get the readings for our economic data for the EURO as following: Indicator 1: is in a range where the Euro may go up Indicator 2: is in a range where the Euro should go up Indicator 3: is in a range where the Euro could go down Indicator 4: is in a range where the Euro usually goes down Indicator 5: is in a range where the Euro could go up Indicator 6: is in a range where the Euro may go down By looking at the above indicators, you dont know what the Euro is going to do. Furthermore, currencies are always traded in pairs. So you would have to get the fundamental data for another currency pair and compare it with the EURO. I think you can image that this is not a simple task.  I do not want to discourage you away from fundamental data. The best way to learn is to learn about one piece of economic data at a time. Eventually you will build a puzzle from all of the fundamental and technical data and make more informed trading decisions Meri saheli hindi magazine subscription.

How To  Start Trading The Forex Market? (part 3)

10 REASONS TO START TRADING FOREX!

Meri saheli magazine yearly subscription More and more well informed investor and entrepreneurs are diversifying their traditional investments like stocks, bonds & commodities with foreign currency because of the following reasons: 1) FOREX is the largest financial market in the world. With a daily trading volume of over $1.5 trillion, the spot FOREX market can absorb trading sizes that dwarf the capacity of any other market. In fact, when compared with the $50 billion daily market for equities or the $30 billion futures market, it becomes quickly apparent this gives you, and millions of other FOREX traders, almost infinite trading liquidity and flexibility. 2) FOREX is a True 24-hour market. The FOREX Market never sleeps.  Trading positions can be entered and exited at any moment around the globe, around the clock, 5.5 days a week. There is no waiting for an opening bell as in the case of trading stocks. It is a 24- hour, continuous electronic (ONLINE) currency exchange that never closes. This is very desirable for you if you want to trade on a part-time basis, because you can choose when you want to trade: morning, noon or night.  3) There is never a Bear Market in FOREX.  You can have access to a seamless exchange of currencies. Currencies trade in pairs (for example, US dollar vs. JPY (YEN) or US dollar vs. CHF (Swiss franc), one side of every currency pair (for example, USD/CHF) is constantly moving in relation to the other. Thus, when you buy a particular currency, you are actually simultaneously selling the other currency in that particular pair. As the market moves, one of the currencies will increase in value versus the other. Of course, it is up to you to choose the correct currency to be long ( you bought) or short( you sold) Meri saheli hindi magazine subscription.

Meri saheli magazine yearly subscription  published this is article page no 43 there are many reasons why countries small and large are reviewing the needs for national identification cards. many of the reasons have to do with immigration border control and some are simply economic. when considering national identification cards for a country its fairly simple to understand the perceived need to clearly identify someones nationality for reasons from employment to citizenship benefits. even when reviewing who should receive medical or any other service offered by a government to its citizens and to protect these services so they are not abused by individuals whose citizenship is with another country. the only form of national identification is a printed piece of paper in many countries and because of this many of these nations are reviewing their possibilities. these documents are simple to forge since they dont contain a picture or other identifying marks other than being the person holding the document. reducing the abuse of services and controlling costs is reason enough to implement a national photo id card and database. because of these needs and many others it is apparent that some of the information on the identification cards would include characteristics of the holder such as height weight sex and eye color. some nations have included items such as retinal scan information and finger prints into the national database and into the identification cards themselves. some of the countries that are entertaining or beginning this process do not have an up to date account on its current residents or even census information on their citizens. implementing a national identification card into a country such as this allows for many other needed benefits such as tracking the activity of its citizens when it comes to border crossings criminal records government employment history or military service Meri saheli hindi magazine subscription.

banking services chronicle current affairs

 banking services chronicle current affairs

Published this article : banking services chronicle current affairs  On April 8 2003 in a testimony before the Senate Steel Caucus industry executives urged legislators to ignore the future decision of a World Trade Organization appeals panel widely expected to uphold an earlier preliminary ruling that U.S.-imposed steel tariffs flouted international trade law. Several senators called on the United States to withdraw from the multilateral body. Wilbur Ross chairman of International Steel Group blamed the burgeoning balance of payments deficit on the rulings and regulations of the WTO. According to Steve Seidenberg in the National Law Journal defiance of the WTO is a growing trend. Gary Horlick of the Washington DC law firm Wilmer Cutler & Pickering reckons that one in seven judgments rendered by the WTOs dispute mechanisms have been hitherto ignored. Nor is the USA alone in its transgressions. Ten polities - including the European Union and Canada - are serial violators. The WTO cannot enforce its decrees. It can only grant complainants permission to retaliate by imposing their own tariffs on products imported from the unrepentant country. This is a blunt and ineffective instrument. Experts warn of a return to unilateralism with the entire edifice of multilateral trade law discredited. Revamping the dispute settlement rules is one item on the agenda of the current phase of trade negotiations dubbed in a November 2001 WTO Ministerial Conference the Doha Development Round. Like the rest of the itinerary it is going nowhere fast. Alarmed by a looming and unrealistic deadline on May 31 2003 the Chairman of the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) Peter Balas proposed to first concentrate on a framework document followed by a draft text. But as James Wolfensohn the former President of the World Bank observed with everyone preoccupied with Baghdad Doha - arguably far more crucial to the global economy - is sidelined. This is unfortunate - and ominous. The 146 members of the WTO - the newest one being Macedonia - failed to agree on the future shape of farm trade by the stipulated deadline of March 31 2003. The goalposts were then moved again and again with a deadline conference in December 2005. The September 2003 Ministerial Conference convenes in Cancun Mexico was an abysmal failure. In the meantime the multilateral regime which bolstered international trade in the past 10 years is being supplanted by a patchwork of bilateral and regional treaties albeit subject to WTO rules. Scholars disagree whether in the absence of a global compact these are preferable to the status quo. But everyone accepts that international rules are the best option. But divisions run deep. India - an important player and the unofficial spokesperson for the less privileged club - joined Cuba Egypt Malaysia Dominican Republic Honduras and Jamaica in demanding special and differential developing country provisions. With Indonesia Malaysia Mauritius Egypt Kenya Nigeria Tanzania Uganda and Zimbabwe it insists on preferential market access for the groups non-agricultural goods. The developing countries regard the previous Uruguay Round as a rip-off perpetrated by the club of developed and industrialized countries at the expense of the indigent. They have sworn not be led down the garden path again. Hence their furious resistance to demands to expand the negotiations to include such issues as animal welfare food safety and labeling and the protection of geographical trade names. They see these as thinly veiled attempts to introduce trade restraints through the backdoor. Instead they want to concentrate on their main exports - agricultural produce and textiles - on tariff reductions and preferences special treatment for certain products and safeguard provisions. Some of them want rich-world farm and export subsidies - totaling more than $300 billion a year - dramatically reduced or even eliminated altogether. Export credits and state-owned trading enterprises are also contentious topics. The atmosphere is so dour that no one even broaches industrial tariffs and anti-dumping. Poor countries are especially incensed at the United States for having torpedoed an agreement to grant poor countries access to generic drugs to fight AIDS and other diseases - and at the European Union for postponing any serious tweaking of its egregious Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) to 2013. The United States - faced with inane European subventions - raised its own farm support by a whopping four fifths in May 2003. Yet it is still far below EU largesse. America is also the prime driver - together with the Cairns group of agricultural exporters (including Canada New Zealand Australia and Brazil) - of a bold initiative to cut subsidies down to 5 percent of production to slash tariffs to 25 percent and to abolish all export-related aid. Japan insensitively is trying to reduce its rice import quota. Together with Norway India the EU and South Korea - known as the friends of multifunctionality - it is championing an unworkable linear formula by which countries should cut subsidies and tariffs equally irrespective of prevailing levels of farm aid. Even so the EU would like to slash subsidies by no more than 45 to 55 percent and tariffs by less than 36 percent as per the WTOs Agreement on Agriculture. Nor is the camp of developing countries either homogeneous or cohesive. African and Caribbean nations enjoy preferential access to markets in the EU and the United States. Others - notably India - are terrified of the inevitable onslaught of efficient competition following farm liberalization. But no country rich or poor seems to be preparing its agricultural sector to cope with the impact of a successful Doha round. Time is running out. The term of Pascal Lamy the EUs capable trade commissioner ended in 2004 and he was replaced by Peter Mandelson. President George Bushs fast track negotiating authority expires in 2007 if he makes it that far. As The Economist warns the peace clause yielded by the Uruguay Round elapsed on December 31 2003. While in force it prevented a deluge of farm-related litigation from erupting on the scene. A trickle is already evident Brazil has sued both the USA and the EU over cotton and sugar subsidies respectively. Textile wars erupted between China and both the EU and the USA and were settled by inconclusive short-term agreements. The crisis at the WTO is part of a global transition from the multilateralism that characterized the Cold War - to unilateralism or rather bilateralism. The breakdown of consensus-based alliances strains international institutions and laws. National - or supranational - interests emerge as renewed sources of legitimacy. While the United States may be blamed for the demise of political multilateralism - it is the EU that is largely responsible for the collapse of the international economic order. The Doha Development Agenda falls prey to these geopolitical upheavals as it tries to tackle the most prickly issues. In a presentation in March 2003 to the 3rd International Temperate Rice Conference in Punte del Este Uruguay Dan Horovitz of the Theodore Goddard law firm in Brussels reminded the participants how uncertain the outcomes are Whereas the average non-agricultural worldwide tariff is 4 percent the average tariff imposed by developed countries on agricultural products is 40 percent with peaks as high as 500 percent ... The new Rounds negotiations are of paramount importance for the very viability and credibility of the WTO system. A failure to provide for proper solutions to the problems of the global agricultural trade would have particularly devastating results not only for trade in agriculture but for the current trading system as a whole. banking services chronicle current affairs

Published this article : banking service chronicle address  Comedian Chevy Chase when he anchored the first Saturday Night Live faux-news desk had a running joke that satirized post-mortem the endless medical updates provided by the public relations machine of a dying dictator ... Heres a bulletin from Spain Doctors are reporting that Generalissimo Francisco Franco is holding fast in his valiant fight to remain dead! The point of course was that neither the Spanish public nor the global public at the time was ever fooled by the propaganda of Francos terminal condition during his last days. The tweak also carried undertones that no government could overcome the forces of nature no matter what it announced. That brings us to the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Anyone who has been to the Gulf Coast says that the media images of the devastation there --- no matter how hard they try --- just cannot convey the scope of the disaster. Vast segments of the region have literally been blown back a couple of centuries to a time when electricity telephones running water and the like were either a luxury or a futuristic concept. Usual conveniences such as food shopping are still a major challenge to many. Some jobs may have left with Katrina like her they may never return. This doesnt look like its going to get much better anytime soon either. I thought of this while taking a second look at the pages on the Longer Life site all of which include the American Red Cross public service ad which appeals for donations to their hurricane relief fund. The appeals are just as urgent and relevant today as they were when they were first posted. I sometimes wonder though if those who view them dont get so accustomed to their presence that they ultimately look past them. I know the plan at the Longer Life site is to keep them in place until all needs are met which in my opinion means the Red Cross will be a fixture on their pages for a long time to come. The American government recently released over 100000 pages of documents which dealt with their handling of the crisis. Its notable in the impression that they didnt give the matter much more attention than they would have if the affected area was a third-world country. Having said that the sheer volume of funds required to repair and rebuild is staggering. For example its been cited in the Los Angeles Times that the costliest public works project to date was the shift of freeways in Boston to an underground route. The price tag was $14.6 billion the time factor was 14 years and the object of the exercise was to move just under eight miles of roadway into a tunnel. The Gulf Coast reclamation is going to involve much more than eight miles of tunneling. Its been reported that the federal commitment to this task has already exceeded $62 billion. One third of that amount has already been deployed and it can fairly be said that its effects are hardly noticed. This total will be added to the federal deficit of course right along with the billions being spent to do whatever it is they currently say theyre doing in Iraq. If the current administration holds fast to its pledge against raising taxes the implication is that a host of cuts in other programs are inevitable. Thus Americans wont have to be located along the Gulf Coast to somehow share in its devastation. Among other things some interest groups are now taking a close look at how funds are being utilized and allocated. Allegations of misappropriations and the like are sure to follow. Contrast this state of affairs with the recent earthquake in Pakistan. The magnitude of that disaster was similarly breathtaking. If you missed it the Richter scale measured the quake at 7.8 and an estimated 87000 people were killed. Their government already depends upon the USA for much of its additional aid. It may be a while before they see anything significant to assist in this natural tragedy. One city there will have additional help. Its coming in the form of lottery winnings. A gentleman named Ishan Khan hit it big while working in the USA as a taxi driver. He nailed a $55 million jackpot and took his winnings up front netting over $32 million. Mr Khan moved back to his homeland where that amount of money can spend like $1 billion and where he instantly became one of Pakistans most wealthy private individuals. Its obvious to Mr Khan that private assistance is necessary for relief efforts there to have any immediacy. His village Batagram lost 4500 citizens in the 8 Oct quake and surely a good number of those were known to him. Heres the Associated Press account of his response to date Just days before the earthquake Khan was elected district nazim or mayor of Batagram. After the quake hit he helped pull survivors from the rubble and paid to get the most seriously injured to regional hospitals. He told pharmacists he would pay them later for dispensing all the medicine on their shelves. The bill came to 10 million rupees almost $200000. Khan has bankrolled a program to supply roofing materials to rebuild shattered homes. He bought 150 tents some of which occupy land just outside his mansion with panoramic views of snowcapped peaks. Most important Khan has emerged as a colorful and outspoken critic of local government corruption. In recent days the blue-eyed nazim — who refers to himself simply as Khan — has dismissed the towns police chief and fired another official. Khan promises to continue the housecleaning. We have a calamity and people are lazy unable to move he says. So I started firing people. Relief workers are impressed. Hes a take-charge person says Aziuddin Ahmad who works with a Malaysian aid group. With that record Im sure there would be a good number of towns along the Gulf Coast that would elect him to public office too. With so much money required both public accountability and private incentive are imperative if the effects of these disasters are to be overcome. Lets hope that interest groups in both the USA and Pakistan monitor the former closely and with the greater good in mind. Meanwhile lets not let those Red Cross ads blend into the background. As Mr Khan has exemplified there is no more effective actions than those taken by personal incentive. Do whatever you can do to make sure your governmental representatives understand that accountability in dispersing relief funds is important to taxpayers and can shear years from the completion date of reclamation projects. More directly anytime --- now or whenever as this effort is going to take years to accomplish --- you have a bit of funds to spare forsake the costs of a night on the town or its equivalent and click on the Red Cross ad. Perhaps your donation wont come from winning the lottery but the knowledge that youve helped a disaster victim in need will make it feel like you did. banking service chronicle address

Some Americans doubt we can afford it and others are not sure they have seen the giant leap for mankind that the first moon shot promised. It depends on who you ask but dont dare ask me. I didnt think the first moon landing had much significance for reasons that few people share with me. President Bush announced an ambitious plan to return to the moon by 2013-15 near the birthplace of modern flight Kitty Hawk North Carolina. The centenary of flight celebrations was held in Kill Devil Hills in December of 2003 where the President will announced plans to allow NASA to offer up its best to the effort. With funding from congress to supplement their 15.5 billion dollar existing budget NASA will have to do a great deal of aggressive re-tooling and budget squeezing to pull it off by the proposed deadline. I have talked to MIT and Harvard grads who still think that if a rocket whizzes by you in space it makes a whooshing sound much like a jet craft does in the atmosphere. Someone forgot to tell them there is no sound where there is no air. So what you say? Some of these grads are aware that even if we could travel at warp 9 (Star Treks imaginary multiplication of the speed of light) that it would take about one hundred thousand years to make the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy and upon return the earth would be about 1.2 million years older than it is today. But why harp on the small stuff. Only once since I began a twenty year fascination with Einsteins time/light theory have I heard from anyone connected to NASA who dared to address this fact to a sublimely ignorant public. He was hushed up in the slow lane with indifference and a public that couldnt tell you how the world can make it through the next decade without imploding. With a list of almost infinite problems how can we think of getting people out that far much less plan for the return of our astronauts after 4000 generations of time. Im not anti-science in fact I think our world has only improved because of it. But science should be no less immune from a serious reality check than was the church in the dark ages. I believe in the bible  and Im sure it gives us only a very short time to the second coming of Christ. But even at that I would never put the bible against science. I am satisfied that science is the book of how and the bible is the book of why. Being a bible believing Christian I also have another view about space travel. It is hard to believe that every Christian may not agree with me. Until the cost of getting to the moon is more affordable if ever I think the money could be spent more effectively right here on earth and we could be satisfied with singing the official state song of Vermont which is Moonlight in Vermont. Almost every starving child in the world could be fed and clothed for a decade for the cost of sending up only one moon shot. My bible my conscience my common sense and every bone in my body says that would be a far better way to spend the fifteen billion bucks. I know there are those who will think this is a preposterous proposal and perhaps it is. So I will offer yet one more proposal that I think is on the same level as sticking America with a fifteen billion dollar bill just to bring back a few moon rocks. We could look for that cow you know the one who jumped over the moon. We could train his aim for a while so he could hit the darned moon next time. He could jump back with the rocks and dust for our scientists to look over and wed save a bundle of taxpayers cash. Blue moon I saw you standing alone without a dream in your heart Watch out were back . banking services chronicle annual subscription
