Canadian Forex/Bond Comment: C$ Strengthens

Strategy RunnerWinnipeg, MB, Jul 31, 2009 (Resource News International via COMTEX) -- The Canadian dollar closed stronger on Friday, after trading to both sides of unchanged over the course of the session. A generally weaker tone seen by the US dollar internationally provided some support.

The Canadian dollar was trading at 92.81 US cents or US$1=C$1.0775 near the close of trade Friday, which compares to Thursday's North American close of 92.23 US cents or US$1=C$1.0842.

Crude oil, gold, and other commodities were all higher on Thursday, which was supportive for the commodity-linked Canadian dollar. The advances in equities were also supportive, as market participants continued to show an increased appetite for risk on Friday.

The eventual strength in the Canadian dollar came despite softer-than-expected Canadian gross domestic product data. Statistics Canada reported that the country's gross GDP declined by 0.5% in May. Average market estimates had been for a more modest 0.3% decline, and the data initially weighed on the Canadian dollar.

Canadian markets will be closed Monday for a civic holiday.

Canadian bonds finished higher on Friday, outperforming their US counterparts. The soft Canadian GDP data contrasted with a better-than-expected reading out of the US, which accounted for some of the relative strength in the Canadian bond market, said analysts.

    How to Deposit Funds with your Forex Broker

    Most online Forex brokers are offering customers a wide variety of methods to deposit funds to their forex trading accounts. In addition to the very traditional deposit methods such as credit card, bank transfer, and personal or business check, many brokers are offering various web wallet systems. We generally list the available deposit and withdrawal methods for the particular brokers reviewed in the broker reviews section on forex-rates.biz.

    Following are some of the web wallets that are rapidly growing in popularity as forex broker deposit methods, which are simple, convenient, and generally very secure:

    Liberty Reserve


    Liberty Reserve is a complete electronic currency, owned and operated by Liberty Reserve S.A. Liberty Reserve offers three e-currencies, one being on par with the US Dollar, the second being on par with the Euro, and the third being on par with one gram of gold. Liberty Reserve accounts require no identity documents to set up, and very limited personal information. To get funds in and out of the system, however, requires the use of a Liberty Reserve currency exchanger, which is independent from Liberty Reserve itself. To fund your Liberty Reserve account, you need to transfer funds to the exchanger, who takes a small fee and then transfers credits into your Liberty Reserve account. Similarly, to withdraw, you transfer Liberty Reserve to an exchanger's Liberty Reserve account, and they in turn deduct their fee and send funds back to your bank account. You never actually carry out any financial transactions directly with Liberty Reserve.

    Moneybookers


    Moneybookers is a popular online wallet, based in the United Kingdom and regulated by the FSA. It is operated by Moneybookers Ltd., which is owned by Investcorp Technology Partners. Moneybookers commenced business in 2001 and offers accounts denominated in USD, EUR, GBP, and CAD. Both personal and company accounts are allowed. Moneybookers offers several convenient ways to deposit to its online system from, as well as receive withdrawals back to, your bank account, regardless of where in the world your account is located.

    PayPal


    PayPal is arguably the first wallet system offered online, and certainly the largest and most popular. It is operated by PayPal Inc., which is owned by eBay Inc. PayPal accounts are based on the customer's e-mail address. A credit card or USA-based bank account is required to add funds to your account balance and to send payments to other customers. PayPal charges fees for receiving payments to your account, and also to withdraw funds from your Paypal account to bank accounts outside of the USA. Senders of Paypal payments do not pay fees if the transfer occurs to another Paypal account. Many forex brokers accept PayPal, but PayPal also has usage restrictions based on your country of residence, so it has limited use for a great many traders in various parts of the world.

    WebMoney


    WebMoney is more than an online wallet, it is a complete electronic currency system, operated by WM Transfer Ltd. WebMoney started off as an online payment system dedicated specifically to the Russian market, but it has grown into an internationally popular payment system with representatives throughout the world. The virtual currencies (popularly known as e-currencies) offered by WebMoney are WMZ (which is equivalent in value to the U.S. Dollar), WME (which is equivalent in value to the Euro) and WMR (which is equivalent to the Russian Ruble). WebMoney accounts are accessible via internet either using your web browser, or by using a special software offered to all WebMoney account holders that allegedly makes your use of the system much more secure. WebMoney processes more than 100 million dollars in transactions on a daily basis, and has millions of customers worldwide. An interesting feature of WebMoney is that accounts are anonymous, though withdrawing funds from the system does require personal identification on the part of the account holder.

    Forex Trading Information2

    The Foreign Exchange Market (FOREX) is quite different from the stock exchange. In contrast to the stock exchange, the FOREX is primarily a short term market. Most traders enter and exit deals within a 24 hour period – sometimes within a few minutes. Many FOREX trades can be made in one day without building up a large brokerage fee because FOREX trades are commission free. Brokers earn money by setting a spread – the difference between asking and selling prices.

    The FOREX is the largest financial market in the world. It is handles transactions worth $1.5 trillion every day. By comparison, all the American stock exchanges combined handle daily transactions worth about $100 billion. The huge volume of FOREX means that it is one of the most liquid markets in the world. There is always a buyer and seller for any type of currency because the world economy relies on the movement of goods from country to country. The stock market is less liquid because participants may choose to hold their investments or move on to other markets.

    The FOREX is not located in any one location. Trading markets are located world-wide and because of difference in time-zones trades can be made 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Trading begins in Sydney, Australia on Monday morning (Sunday afternoon New York time) and continues non-stop until Friday afternoon New York time.

    Stock exchanges have more limited trading hours. While it is possible to trade on exchanges world-wide, each exchange is independent and operates for just 7 hours a day. There is no way to buy or sell a certain stock that is only traded on one stock exchange when that exchange is closed.

    Other advantages of FOREX? It is more predictable than stocks. It follows well established trends; it allows high leverage – typically 100:1 instead of 2:1 on the stock market; and it doesn't require a large investment – mini accounts as small as $250 can get you started in FOREX.

    The foreign exchange market (FOREX) has several advantages over the futures market also. FOREX is a more liquid market – as the largest financial market in the world it dwarfs the futures market in daily exchanges. This means that stop orders can be executed more easily and with less slippage in the FOREX.

    The FOREX is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. Most futures exchanges are open 7 hours a day. This makes FOREX more liquid and allows FOREX traders to take advantage of trading opportunities as they arise rather than waiting for the market to open.

    FOREX transactions are commission-free. Brokers earn money by setting a spread – the difference between what a currency can be bought at and what it can be sold at. In contrast, traders must pay a commission or brokerage fee for each futures transaction they enter into.

    Because of the high volume of trading FOREX transactions are almost instantly executed. This minimizes slippage and increases price certainty. Brokers in the futures market often quote prices reflecting the last trade – not necessarily the price of your transaction.

    The FOREX is less risky than the futures market because of built-in safeguards in the trading system. Debits in futures are always a possiblility because of market gap and slippage.
