Bloomberg Link and Saxo Capital Markets Tie up to Launch the "#FXdebates"

LONDON, November 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Saxo Capital Markets UK announces its collaboration with Bloomberg LINK to launch the "#FXdebates: Trading Insights from our Top Analysts" - a collection of informative articles for an e-book covering the latest trends in the Foreign Exchange market. The series will culminate into an event that will take place in February 2013.

Over the next four months, the series of articles will focus on trends in currency movements and pairings, the challenges affecting FX traders and advice on key trading strategies.  The series starts on November 6, with an article entitled The Fed v the Dollar, which explores the future of the US dollar in light of the Fed's expansionary monetary policy and the fundamentals underpinning the US economy, as the American presidential election is imminent.

The other articles in the series will focus on:

• Gold - Is it just another currency?  
• The Euro in Crises
• Currency Wars: Battle Of The Weakest
• Yuan Diplomacy

Commenting on the collaboration, Bob Bierman, Head of Bloomberg LINK at Bloomberg LP, said:  

"Bloomberg LINK is delighted to be in collaboration with Saxo on this practical, multi-platform initiative. The multimedia e-book, which is published in a serial form, leading up to the live #FXdebates event, and comprises of text, infographics and video, will act as a springboard towards informed debate about the key issues facing FX investors."

Commenting on the series, Torben Kaaber, CEO Saxo Capital Markets UK, said:

"This series aims to look at Foreign Exchange in what has been a particularly turbulent and fascinating time. The development of the Euro crisis and tough economic times will present huge challenges, but also a myriad of opportunities for Forex traders. This means that it is increasingly important for followers of the FX market to be well informed; we hope that this series and our partnership with Bloomberg will make this accessible to the broadest audience."
