Forex traders need to take note and be on the lookout for some of the heaviest changes to the United States and other western economies since 2007. Many financial experts are speculating that a new financial crash is in the wings and will be here soon. The argument currently being employed is that much (if not all) the fiscal growth being seen in the United States has been a direct result of government intervention and nothing else.
Since the economy will be experiencing a crunch many creditors will be demanding the repayment of loans immediately and as a result the strength of the dollar will gain (assuming the debts are actually paid). This is a strange and inverse relationship because most would think that if an economy is doing poorly than that economy's corresponding currency would suffer as well. This is not the case and many forex traders are aware of it as well, while quantitative easing may undermine the dollar in the long run current downtrend predictions for the US economy will fare well with the dollar.
This is indeed interesting news for traders since the dollar has been doing horrible in recent years and if there is indeed a steady increase in its value there will be many different opportunities to make money. Pairing currencies such as the AUD or CAD with the USD may end up being a great idea considering what is in store in the near future for the US economy. It is definitely something to watch closely but it might just be a huge moneymaker.
