Where to place your bets in the currency markets

The top 50 list of iPhone apps isn’t somewhere you’d normally think of looking for a financial leading indicator. But in between playing games, people are using their little mobile-phone touch screens for something quite different – playing the currency market.

It’s little wonder. Stocks might have recovered sharply in the past year, but many ordinary investors have had their fingers burned once too often in the equity market. Two massive crashes inside a decade would destroy anyone’s faith in an asset class. And the great thing about the currency market is that it’s highly liquid – trillions of dollars worth changes hands every day, way more than even the largest equity markets. So you’ll never get trapped in an illiquid holding.

Everyone’s getting into the currency markets but should you?  In this special MoneyWeek Online report, John Stepek reveals all your options on trading currencies, from exchange traded funds through to currency futures.  But most importantly he reveals where exactly to place your currency bets in the current economic climate.

There could be very tough times ahead for most asset classes, from bonds to stocks to property. Currencies, on the other hand, are a zero-sum game – if one goes up, another has to be going down. So, as currency traders like to say, “there’s always a bull market somewhere”. There’s just one problem. Which currency do you bet on?
