Jeff’s Note:<\/strong> On Thursday, February 9 at 8 p.m. ET<\/a>, I’m revealing an immediate change I recommend everyone make in 2023. But I have to warn you… It may take you a little outside your comfort zone…<\/p>\n

Last year, my research analyst Imre Gams invited me to join a small private beta test of his new trading strategy… In total, we had the chance to collect profits of $2,339, $1,694, and $3,560 in as little as one day.<\/p>\n

The best part is that even small traders with modest portfolios can partake in this overlooked market. If you’re interested in receiving the next live recommendation for free<\/em>, you can click right here to join<\/a> our breakthrough strategy.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s hear from Imre about what’s behind his quiet winning streak…<\/p>\n

\n

Think you can’t make money in today’s market?<\/p>\n

That’s the relentless message mainstream financial media organizations are pumping out.<\/p>\n

But it’s simply not true…<\/p>\n

While stock market investors are cursing the Fed and battling a bear market… currency traders have never been happier.<\/p>\n

I launched the beta version of my Currency Trader<\/em> advisory in October 2022. (A “beta” version means where we verify the accuracy of a system internally before sharing it with investors.)<\/p>\n

And so far, 20 out of 21 of my recommended trades have been winners.<\/p>\n

That’s a 95%-win rate.<\/p>\n

Calculating dollar gains on currency trades is a little tricky. It depends on how large your account is… and how much risk you’re comfortable with.<\/p>\n

But one trade I recommended gave Currency Trader<\/em> beta testers the chance to make $1,694 on a $10,000 account… in just one day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another could have netted you a $2,145 gain on a $10,000 account… in just three days. <\/em><\/p>\n

That’s a 21% return – roughly double the average annual<\/em> return of the S&P 500 over the past 30 years.<\/p>\n

The good news is you don’t need a $10,000 account to get started. You can start as a currency trader with a lot less than that.<\/p>\n

So today, I’ll pull back the curtain on the top-down “macro” trend that’s powered this winning streak.<\/p>\n

It’s all down to a momentous decision last year by the world’s most powerful central bank, the U.S. Federal Reserve…<\/p>\n

A New Golden Age<\/h2>\n

In 2020, the coronavirus spread out of China and around the world.<\/p>\n

In response to the economic issues this created, the Fed doubled-down on its 2008-era policies.<\/p>\n

It dropped interest rates back down to zero… and cranked up the printing presses.<\/p>\n

But this ultra-loose monetary policy… plus the $5 trillion in direct stimulus Congress authorized… helped fuel the worst inflation since Reagan was in the White House.<\/p>\n

The eventual result was that last March, the Fed had to start raising rates again to fight inflation (an inflation that it had previously claimed wouldn’t last for long).<\/p>\n

As the Fed raised rates, it triggered a bear market in stocks. And it caused a $7 trillion wealth-wipeout for stock market investors.<\/p>\n

If you had money in stocks last year, you almost certainly took a hit to your wealth.<\/p>\n

But the Fed’s move had an unexpected side-effect. Because it set the stage for the currency – or forex (short for foreign exchange) – market to make a big comeback.<\/p>\n

In fact, it’s led to the best trading environment for forex in 15 years.<\/em><\/p>\n

We’re seeing dramatic moves across the major currencies almost every week. Each one is an opportunity to scalp outsized trading returns.<\/p>\n

So, why did this happen?<\/p>\n

It’s a Chain Reaction<\/h2>\n

It’s all down to interest rates.<\/p>\n

Capital goes where it’s treated best. So, currencies that offer higher interest rates suck in capital from lower-yielding currencies.<\/p>\n

Let’s say you can earn 1% interest in a bank account in Australia… but you can earn 3% interest in New Zealand. Wouldn’t you move your money out of Australia and into New Zealand?<\/p>\n

Well, that’s what hedge funds, currency traders, investment management firms, and businesses do, too.<\/p>\n

As they sell their Australian dollars (AUD) and buy New Zealand dollars (NZD) it moves up the value of NZD relative to AUD.<\/p>\n

It’s like supply and demand of a product. If people demand less of something, the price falls. If demand increases, the price goes up.<\/p>\n

That’s what happened here, and that move between these two currencies created an opportunity to profit.<\/p>\n

That’s why currency traders are happiest when there are big differences – or spreads – in interest rates around the world.<\/p>\n

And that’s exactly what’s been happening since the Fed started raising rates again last March.<\/em><\/p>\n

It set off a chain reaction of rising interest rates around the world, as other central banks followed suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic Duos<\/h2>\n

We’ve seen this play out between the U.S. dollar and its European counterparts – the euro and the British pound.<\/p>\n

Last July, the euro fell to parity with the dollar (meaning one euro equals one U.S. dollar). The last time this happened was back in 2002.<\/p>\n

Last September, the British pound dropped to an all-time low against the dollar. That coincided with the British government trying to pass a reckless budget.<\/p>\n

But this currency action all made sense.<\/p>\n

The Fed has jacked up U.S. interest rates to 4.5%. The equivalent rate is just 2.5% in the eurozone and 3.5% in Britain.<\/p>\n

Yet despite the Fed’s frenzied rate hiking, inflation in the U.S. is still running at an annual pace of 6.5%. That’s more than three times higher than the Fed’s target rate of 2%.<\/p>\n

That means a lot more pain to come for investors sticking to traditional asset classes like stocks and bonds.<\/p>\n

But it means that great opportunities to trade forex are here once again.<\/p>\n

Over the coming days, I’ll reveal more about my forex trading strategy.<\/p>\n

Of the 21 trades I’ve recommended, 20 have been winners. And thanks to fat spreads between interest rates, there are plenty more opportunities to profit.<\/p>\n

In today’s mailbag, a Market Minute<\/em> reader shares their thoughts on Clint Brewer’s essay about earnings and its effect on the market<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks Clint, this editorial seems right on. Others believe that “when you get a rise in market in January, the rest of the year will end up 6-8%.” That’s really hard to swallow.<\/p>\n
