Binary options are an exciting way of investing in the financial markets. Rather than purchasing the asset itself, investors can speculate on which direction they estimate an asset will move in. To make profit you should predict the direction the asset’s price will go: up or down! When an option expires, you can be “in the money” or “out of the money”. Being “In the money” means that the trend moved in your favor and you've gained a profit. Being “out of the money” means it moved against your favor, and you've lost on this trade.

When you trade in plain options (not binary options), gains or losses vary according to how far the asset’s price had moved. However, in binary options, gains and losses are fixed regardless of how “deep” the option is in or out of the money. If the option is in the money, your profit will be 65-80% of your investment. If the option is out of the money at the expiry date, you will always get a fixed return of 15%. That means your risks are controlled, and you always know your potential profits and losses prior to making your investment.

For instance, if I invest $300 on a Call option on gold that had expired “in the money” I earn 80% of my investment – i.e. an additional $213. If the option expired “out of the money”, meaning its price did not go up by the expiry date, I remain with 15% of my investment - $45.

Weekly Market Review: Euro continues to weaken against the Dollar

The volatile trading between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, due to speculation of monetary measures enacted by the ECB, morphed into rather muted trading early last week. It started with the Euro being left battered and bruised from Draghi’s dispersion of dovish remarks, and trading at 1.375 Dollar to the Euro, a level unseen since the beginning of April. The weakening of the Euro was re-ignited on Tuesday, as an article on the Wall Street Journal stated that the German Bundesbank would be willing to back the European Central Bank in "an array of stimulus measures". The idea that the Bundesbank, often considered hawkish-oriented in its advocated monetary policy, could support more dovish policy, helped further weaken the Euro - sending it to trade 50 pips lower versus the Dollar, at a level of 1.371. Wednesday saw the publishing of numerous April European Consumer Price Indices. However, many of those were final estimations of previously announced preliminary figures. Knowing this, investors needed something rather extraordinary in order to shake the markets. Another dosage of the usual muted inflation wouldn’t suffice to send the Euro trading lower versus the Dollar. Evidently, “the usual” was somewhat of understatement to what followed. It started the Germany CPI’s final estimation confirming the preliminary figure at a muted but tolerable 1.1% annual increase, continued with the French CPI presenting 0.7% annual inflation at slightly below analyst expectations of 0.9%, and even saw Spain confirming a positive 0.4% annual inflation print. With nothing out of the ordinary to shake things up, the Euro gained 10 pips against the dollar.

Up to a certain point

Market participants saw the Euro slide further versus major currencies on Thursday, fueled by European Central Bank Vice President Vitor Constancio promising the bank would act "swiftly" if needed to battle the low level of inflation prevailing in the Euro Zone. The rest of the day saw the U.S. Initial Jobless Claims published to indicate that only 297K claims have been submitted during the previous week. Aside from breaking the 300K Initial Claims limit, this is also the first time since May 2007 that such a small number of claims were submitted. Interestingly, the effect on the markets was limited, mostly due to the Fed's efforts to make the labor market less cardinal in determining future policy measures. The soon-to-follow release of April’s U.S. Industrial Production decrease by 0.6% Month over Month, versus analyst expectations for a 0.7% increase had a stronger impact on markets sending EUR/USD trading as high as 1.373. Like most rollercoaster rides, this one ended with the EUR/USD at the 1.371 level in which it started. In conclusion, we see that the ECB's promises of more Dovish measures continued translating to a weaker Euro. However, this only held up to a certain point. With the ECB’s June 5th announcement, showdown is nearing, and no central bank possesses the privilege to fold. Start Trading NOW!!

2014 starts with markets uncertainty

Register at ANYOPTION and start trading TODAY!

The year 2013 came to an end, and most trading sessions ranged from generally muted to somewhat edgy, but were unable to pick any specific direction. Some unexpected trading was provided by the gold and silver markets as the precious metals saw their price drop during the day to as low as $1,182 and $18.83 respectively. However, the dip quickly reverted shortly after, as a correction an hour later saw gold trading over pre-dip levels to as high as $1,209, while silver surged to nearly $19.8. A similar case was evident at the previous week’s Initial Jobless Claims data, released on Thursday. In addition to beating expectations for 344K new claims, with a print of 339K, the figure marked a hefty decrease from the previous week’s revised figure of 341K. It is mostly positive to see a declining trend of claims, but it is hard to miss the fact that the figure never really recovered from the Government Shutdown, as it Is now approximately at the same levels as five months ago. With the tapering already underway, positive claims data continued to raise concerns for reduced Fed purchases, continuing the last months’ ritual of positive labor data boiling down to pessimism on the equity markets. The S&P 500 lost -0.75% during the day, and the NASDAQ dropped approximately -0.4%. Thursday’s bear market did not last long, as optimism regained on Friday, for no apparent reason - leading the trading session seeing markets regain some of the previous day’s losses.

When rumors appear brighter than the news

Register at ANYOPTION and start trading TODAY!

EUR/USD trading last week was subject to breaking events from both sides of the Atlantic. New York Fed President Dudley, who is considered a member of the dovish set among FOMC members, expressed his hope that the U.S. economy had reached a turning point, hopefully leading to more substantial improvement in labor market conditions. Such thinking among FOMC doves was not evident in previous FOMC discussions. However, Dudley’s words did not convince markets of an imminent taper, as the USD traded mixed to lower against most major currencies.
Most of the weekly drama revolving the Euro was rumor-based. Rumors started surfacing on Wednesday and suggested that the ECB is considering a lower of deposit rates from what currently is zero to a negative -0.1%. The ECB did not confirm any of it, yet the rumor sufficed to see the EUR/USD immediately losing close to a cent. The rest of the day saw the release of the Fed’s October minutes. However, it is advocating the idea that advances in the job market would lead to tapering was already priced in the markets as those saw little change.
On Thursday, the EUR/USD has retracted from the previous day’s drop, as ECB President Mario Draghi attempted to slow down the rumor mill. At a speech in Berlin, when explaining what led the ECB to cut its main policy rates two weeks before, Draghi asked that the audience will not try to infer from his words on the possibility of negative rates on the deposit facility. Draghi added: “As I said in the press conference this was discussed in the last monetary policy meeting, and there are no news since then… because people tend to put things together and create their own dreams".

Twitter’s IPO goes live in the USA this Wednesday, Normal Trading starts tomorrow, Thursday 7th, 2013

The San Francisco social media company has raised its debut price per share from an initial $17 to $20 to between $23 and $25.

The increase doesn't come as a big surprise. Many observers considered the previous pricing to be relatively conservative, given that Twitter's market value was appraised at $20.62 per share in an assessment done by Duff & Phelps Corp. in early August. Twitter's earlier decision to begin the IPO pricing below its recently appraised value was seen as a way to contain expectations while leaving room to raise the target and build more buzz about its stock market debut planned for later this week.

Inside Twitter Headquarters in San Francisco

With this, Twitter intends to raise between $1.6 billion and $1.8 billion when its stocks starts trading on Thursday.

The number of shares the company intends to sell is 70 million. At the new price, the company will be valued at between $12.8 billion to $13.9 billion.

Twitter co-founder Evan Williams is the company's largest individual shareholder with a 10.4% stake, which would be worth between $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion. CEO Dick Costolo's stake would be worth as much as $191.9 million.

The second largest individual shareholder is Peter Fenton -- a Twitter board director and an early investor in the company -- whose stake would be worth as much as $789 million.

Twitter's IPO is being underwritten by Goldman Sach (GS, Fortune 500) and Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500) and is expected to be priced on Wednesday.

Regular investors will get their first chance to buy Twitter the day after, when shares will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker "TWTR."

Meanwhile the company disclosed that International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) sent a letter  alleging that they infringed on at least three U.S. patents held by IBM. The patents relate to a networking technique based on common contacts, a way to show advertisements without interfering with an interactive site, and using interconnected computers to reduce Web traffic.

Assessing the wind’s direction

Register at ANYOPTION and start trading TODAY!

The U.S. economy showed mixed signs at the beginning of last week. Industrial Production data for September presented an impressive 0.6% increase. Manufacturing Production, on the other hand, presented only a negligible 0.1% increase, versus expectations for 0.3%. This was the result of increases in carmakers' output withheld by declines in furniture, appliances and computers.

Wednesday presented growing anticipation to the publishing of Fed’s rate decision. As expected, the announcement did not suggest tapering is imminent by any means, yet noted that the U.S. economy is expanding at a moderate pace. As monthly purchases were kept at the usual 85 billion Dollars a month, the statement did suggest that the Government shutdown did not cause major damage to the economy. While in the September announcement the Fed was concerned that the higher market rates could lead to slower improvement in the economy, the same was not mentioned in Wednesday’s announcement.

Thursday was probably the surprise of the week. In Chicago, it seems that no bad impact was recorded from the government shutdown, as the Chicago Purchasing Managers’ Index surged to a 31-month high. However, it was interpreted as bad news by equity markets, which saw the good figure as something that could induce a sooner QE3 tapering by the Fed. Whether Chicago is the prophet for an emerging U.S. economy or whether we are just going to see a surge of inventories next month, is yet to be seen.

The hectic week concluded on Friday with the publishing of the ISM manufacturing survey. Similar to the Fed’s announcement, survey participants did not identify impact on their business from the Government’s shutdown as the survey presented an impressive figure of 56.4, beating expectations for a 55.0 print, with exports surging 5 points to 57. However, unlike Thursday’s equity pessimism due to concerns of resulting tapering, Friday marked quite a positive day for equities with the Dow presenting a 0.45% daily increase, and the S&P 500 index with a 0.29% increase.

Weekly Market Review - Abe needs to cash the check

Register at ANYOPTION and start trading TODAY!

Last week presented some significant data in the Japanese economy. This yielded a natural opportunity to examine where the economic policy, advocated by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, led the country so far. The week kicked off with the Japanese Ministry of Finance publishing the country’s trade balance statistics. At -¥918.6 billion, September’s Trade Balance appeared as an improvement over the previous month’s -¥962.8. However, the Japanese exports presented only a 11.5% increase during the trailing 12 months, much lower than an expected 15.6% predicted by analysts.

On Friday, the hope that the inflow of cash to Japan would help boost prices dispersed, with the publishing of the Consumer Price Index. The Index’s headline figure presented a relatively high 1.1% annual increase of prices. This was likely the result of the weakening Yen and volatiles such as food, as the Consumer Price Index, (excluding Energy and Fresh Food) presented a more moderate 0.7% annual increase. The 0.7% core increase figure is high compared to the negative figures the index suffered since 2008, should no accompanying wage hike take place, increasing prices could lead to a decrease of the Japanese consumer’s purchasing power and a resultant decrease of GDP. Indeed, the Japanese Monthly Cash Earnings, measuring mostly wages, presented a -0.9% annual decline in August. Moreover, analyst consensus predicts September’s figure to present -0.4%, which is not much better.

Weekly Market Review - Post shutdown

Register at ANYOPTION and start trading TODAY!

The post-shutdown week provided an opportunity to review the fiscal feud’s result on the American economy, or rather the anticipation for it as expressed in September’s data. September’s Existing Home Sales, published Monday, presented a slight blow to U.S. real-estate activity, with an approximate 2% decrease from the previous month’s figure, to 5.29 million units changing hands. Tuesday’s labor data was quite a different story. With only a 148K increase in Nonfarm Payrolls, it seems that the shutdown’s blow to the U.S. labor market was harsher compared to August’s figure, which presented a higher number of jobs created, 193K. In September 2012, when the U.S. economy was deeper in the great recession, Nonfarm payrolls presented only a slightly lower 138K Nonfarm jobs created. The unemployment rate dropped down to 7.2%.

Additional slightly negative data on the U.S. market were presented Wednesday, as MBA Mortgage Applications decreased by -0.6%. Continuing its negative sentiment since the beginning of the Shutdown, Initial Jobless Claims was still high and revealed on Thursday that no less than 350K of those were made during last week. The University of Michigan’s Consumer Confidence presenting a decrease from a level of 75.2 to 73.2.

The U.S. investor sentiment was not affected much by all these, as that data could be considered as temporary responses to a unique situation. The Nasdaq index presented a mild, yet notable, 0.7% increase during the previous week. Similarly, a 0.9% increase was recorded at the S&P 500 index.

Better news from China

Register at ANYOPTION and start trading TODAY!

Encouraging data from China became more evident as the dust of the U.S. fiscal crisis settled. It became clearer that Chinese production for local demand is more profitable with the Consumer price Index exhibiting a 3.1% annual rise, while producers pay less to support their production process with the Producer Price Index decreasing by an annual 1.3%. Thursday marked a very positive point for the Chinese economy as the Year over Year Gross Domestic Product showed a 7.8% annual increase, quite the positive note from the concerns raised by the previous quarter’s 7.5%. Additional positive data was the Industrial Production exhibiting a 9.6% annual increase. The hypothesis derived from the increasing wedge between Consumer and Producer Prices was also evident at retail sales, which showed a 13.3% increase.

The improvement in China could be regarded as somewhat predictable, given the stimulus program unveiled in July. However, the revised data certainly put smiles on a few faces in Beijing, as it will be much easier for china to reach its 7.5% annual GDP growth goal. Evidently, the positive data sent Hong Kong’s Hang Seng up 1.1%, while the Shanghai Composite index gained another 0.2%.
