Currency Trading Is Place to Make Your Fortune: Matthew Lynn
2010-02-16 00:00:00.0 GMT


Commentary by Matthew Lynn
    Feb. 16 (Bloomberg) -- This columnist is usually reluctant
to respond to requests for career advice that occasionally find
their way into my e-mail box.
    Yet from time to time, there is a move so obvious for
anyone finishing college or university this year, or
contemplating their next step up the career ladder, that it is
worth pointing out.
    And right now it is this:
    Forget hedge funds, walk away from private equity and tell
the derivatives boys they can dump their baffling mathematical
formulas in the dustbin under the desk.
    Instead, become a currency trader. They are set to become
the new kings of the financial markets.
    The sovereign-debt crisis, the demise of the dollar and the
creation of new reserve currencies all mean that the great
financial reputations and fortunes will be made in foreign
exchange in the coming few years.
    In any decade, one sector of the financial markets is
usually dominant. There is one corner of the financial universe
where so much new stuff is happening, and it is of such
importance to the rest of the world, that it is far easier for a
young, ambitious person to make their mark than anywhere else.
    In the 1980s, it was mergers-and-acquisitions deals.
    In the 1990s, it was the venture capitalist who backed
technology companies, and the bankers who arranged initial
public offerings for dot-com companies on the stock market.

                         New Masters

    In the 2000s, it was hedge funds, along with the
derivatives traders that supplied them with products.
    But in the 2010s, it will be currency trading.
    There are already plenty of signs that the foreign-exchange
markets are hotter than a sunny day on Venus.
    Deutsche Bank AG reported last month that its currency-
trading platform for retail investors had a 40 percent increase
in customer numbers in 2009. Ordinary investors clearly see
exchange trading as an area of the market they want to be in.
    In London, which is the global currency-trading hub, strong
growth is also evident. According to a Bank of England study,
daily trading volumes rose 13 percent to $1.43 trillion in
October compared with April last year. In the U.S., foreign-
exchange trading volumes rose 28 percent to $675 billion a day
in the six months ended in October, according to a Federal
Reserve-affiliated study. Those are impressive numbers. The
volume of London trading isn't quite back to pre-credit crunch
levels, but it is getting close.

                         Debt Crisis

    There are several good reasons for expecting currency
trading to be the focus for financial markets this decade.
    First, the sovereign-debt crisis. Governments took on huge
debt to combat the financial meltdown. That didn't really fix
the problem. It just shifted it from one place to another. Now
there are doubts about whether nations can service their
obligations. The only way the markets can discipline
governments, or pass a verdict on their performance, is via the
currency markets. However the crisis eventually works out, it is
the foreign-exchange markets that will be in the driver's seat.
    Second, the dollar is in long-term decline. Regardless of
how well the U.S. recovers, the rise of new economies such as
China, Brazil and India means America won't be the dominant
force in the world that it once was. The result? The dollar's
special status is coming to an end. That may be a good thing
after some intense volatility as the world adjusts. Again, it is
currency traders who will be in control of that transition.

                        Store of Value

    Third, the advent of new reserve currencies. With the
dollar on the way down, the world will need something as a
reliable store of value. There are plenty of candidates: It
might be gold, an International Monetary Fund-sponsored basket
of currencies, or a new world currency. Who knows, it could be
something nobody has thought of yet. Ultimately it will be
foreign-exchange traders who decide what works and what doesn't.
    You can add into the mix some low-probability, yet high-
impact, events. Perhaps Germany will get fed up bailing out
Greece and Portugal and leave the euro. Maybe the Chinese will
decide to make the yuan the world's dominant currency. Neither
scenario is especially likely, but they would create shockwaves
through the markets for years.
    There are usually two conditions for one sector of the
financial markets to be dominant: There must be lots of
innovation, and lots of volatility.
    Right now, currency trading ticks both boxes.
    That's why if you work in the markets, figuring out clever
ways of swapping euros into yen, and dollars into pounds would
be the best thing you could do. It will be the fastest way to
make your fortune.

(BN) China Sustains Expansion as Exports Climb, Price

China Sustains Expansion as Exports Climb, Price Pressures Grow
2010-02-01 03:11:17.480 GMT


By Bloomberg News
    Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- China, the world's third-biggest
economy, sustained its manufacturing expansion in January as
export orders jumped and inflation pressures grew, two surveys
showed today.
    A purchasing managers' index released by HSBC Holdings Plc
and Markit Economics rose to a record. A second survey, by the
Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, recorded the second-
fastest expansion since 2008.
    Stocks tumbled as the reports spurred concern that the
government will have to escalate efforts to rein in the credit
growth that has fueled the nation's infrastructure spending
surge. After raising banks' reserve requirements this month and
targeting reduced credit growth in 2010, policy makers may raise
interest rates by the end of June, according to the median
estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of economists.
    "It's a solidly expansionary reading, consistent with
expectations of continued momentum in the economy," said David
Cohen, an economist with Action Economics in Singapore.
    The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index of stocks fell 1.5
percent as of 10:55 a.m., extending this year's slide to 10
percent.
    The HSBC index rose to a seasonally adjusted 57.4 from 56.1
in December and the survey showed input and output price indexes
rose to the highest levels since July 2008. Export sales rose at
a "near-record rate," a statement on Markit's Web site said.
    Meanwhile, the government-backed Purchasing Managers' Index
fell to a seasonally adjusted 55.8 from 56.6 in December, an e-
mailed statement showed. Growth in output and orders slowed,
while export demand rose more quickly.

                           Snowstorms

    The figures may partly reflect disruptions from cold
weather and snowstorms, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and UBS AG. said.
    China is paring monetary stimulus to limit inflation and
the risk of asset bubbles in the economy that Nomura Holdings
Inc. says will contribute a third of global growth this year.
China's growth accelerated to 10.7 percent, the fastest pace
since 2007, in the fourth quarter of 2009 after a 4 trillion
yuan ($586 billion) stimulus package and record lending
helped the nation lead the world out of recession.
    Today's figure in the logistics federation's survey was
less than the median 56.5 estimate in a Bloomberg News survey of
16 economists. The decline was the first in eight months. The
output index dropped for the first time since May last year,
falling to 60.5 from 61.4 in December. The export-orders index
rose to 53.2 from 52.6.

                        'Crucial Stage'

    "China's economy is at a crucial stage of moving from
rebounding to stabilizing" with exports set to make a bigger
contribution to growth, said Zhang Liqun, a researcher at the
State Council Development and Research Center. "In the meantime,
companies may face a tougher environment with rising costs and
intensified competition."
    Companies benefiting from the nation's rebound include
Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., which said Jan. 27 that 2009
profit may have climbed more than 4000 percent on higher
sales and cost controls. China Railway Construction Co. said the
same day that profit likely increased more than 50 percent from
3.6 billion yuan a year earlier because of the nation's extra
infrastructure spending.
    The world's third-biggest economy may gain momentum this
quarter as exports surge 30 percent, making an interest-rate
increase more likely as inflation rises, according to China
International Capital Corp. China's 10.5 percent expansion this
year will compare with the global economy's 4.2 percent, Nomura
forecasts.

                          Faster Pace

    The nation's growth may accelerate to 12 percent this
quarter, triggering a rate increase as early as this month as
inflation rises to 3 percent, according to Sun Mingchun, an
economist at Nomura in Hong Kong.
   China is pursuing a "proactive fiscal policy" and
moderately loose monetary policy," Vice Premier Li Keqiang
reaffirmed in a speech on Jan. 28 at the World Economic Forum in
Davos, Switzerland.
    Such policies will lead to "huge markets for the world and
huge opportunities" for foreign companies, he said. Li's
comments reflected a pledge in November by Premier Wen Jiabao to
speed the shift from investment- and export-led growth to an
economy "driven by consumption, investment and exports in a
coordinated way."
    "We expect GDP to grow by 9 percent in 2010 and our next
revision is more likely to be upward," said Wang Tao, an
economist with UBS AG in Beijing. "We expect the government to
err on the side of keeping policy accommodative."
    The manufacturing index, released by the logistics
federation and the Beijing-based National Bureau of Statistics,
is based on replies to questionnaires sent to purchasing
executives at more than 730 companies in 20 industries. It
started in 2005.
    The official PMI surveys mainly large and state-owned
companies, while HSBC's sample of more than 400 is weighted
more towards smaller businesses and export-related companies,
said Xing Ziqiang, an economist at China International Capital
Corp. It began in 2004.
