Praying for a quiet week…
After a tumultuous week last week on the currency trading markets, forex traders are praying for a quiet week to let their stomachs settle after the rollercoaster ride of Thursday and Friday’s trading. Fears of a Greek default and then a lacklustre Federal Open Market Committee meeting all mounted up to a 6% drop in equity markets. Forex trading strategies were derailed by the US Federal Reserve announcing that it wouldn’t be expanding the size of the balance sheet but instead would just be restructuring its composition a little. This knocked back investor confidence and the result was a sea of red screens in the forex trading rooms as Dollar prices tumbled.
This week lacks the plethora of data release that we saw last week, but once again the Greek situation has reared its ugly head. The sovereign debt risk is making everyone edgy, and forex markets are watching nervously to try and anticipate which way the Euro will go. Predictions are down, as Greece draws ever closer to a default on some of its loans.
It’s not all bad news in the Eurozone. Germany has started to see a positive trickle-down effect from the relatively high interest rates set by the European Central Bank, with an anticipated consumer price index detracting by –0.1%. This would maintain the inflation rate of Europe’s largest economy at 2.4%, showing that the Germans have inflation under control. But the big question is whether Germany’s good fortune is enough to prop up the other Eurozone countries and in turn the European forex markets. Words such as ‘financial meltdown’ and ‘double-dip recession’ are being bandied about as Eurozone countries start to see sharp declines in growth. The currency trading markets are already starting to react to this, with the Credit Suisse Overnight Index Swaps showing that 9.0-basis points are potentially priced out of the Euro over the next 12 months. If Greece defaults (as many forex traders believe it will shortly), that number could be revised once again.
Over in the US, the economy numbers came back worse than expected, with the country experiencing slower growth in Q2 of 2011. The GDP figure came in at a 1.0% annualised rate, compared to an initial 1.8% expectation. The final number is expected to be 1.2%, but a revision back down to 1% wouldn’t really be a surprise to anyone. This hasn’t helped currency trading in the Dollar, which has effectively flatlined over the past week, and forex trading experts are expecting another week of little or no change in the USD/Euro. But after last week’s dizzying falls and trepidation, perhaps a quiet week is just what everyone needs right now.

Ensure your Workers are Well Equipped
A working environment is about the workers. A business lives or dies on the quality of its workforce. Any decent site manager understands this, and so ensures that their workers are well equipped to meet the specific challenges of their industry.
At Fall Arrest we help you to equip your workforce, so that they are able to better serve your business. We offer a range of services, from providing personal protective equipment to delivering great fall arrest courses; all designed to better equip your workforce with the equipment and training that they need.
In certain industries, employees are required to work at heights. Working at heights obviously carries significant risks, and so the importance of PPE (personal protective equipment) and the proper training becomes increasingly pertinent.
At Fall Arrest, as a subsidiary of Heightsafe systems, we are well equipped to deliver a range of services designed to optimise your safety when working at heights. For instance, when working at heights a worker is especially dependant on the quality of their equipment. With this in mind, we offer equipment tracking, maintenance and warranty services.
Our objective can be summed up neatly: we wish to make working at heights safer. It is clear that working at heights will always carry the element of risk, however with our multifarious services, you can be better assured that you are meeting health and safety obligations.
When you better train and equip your workforce, you are communicating to them that they are well valued. So, as well as increasing health and safety on a practical level, you also increase employee self-esteem.
Choose the Best
We all want the best for ourselves. This is especially true when it comes to things that are closest to us. Our home and our possessions are important, and so it is only right that they are treated with love and care.
The problem with some removal companies is that, sometimes, they can seem a little impersonal. It can jar a little to watch your possessions being hoisted up into some van, and driven to your new home; and it can be a little worrying to see those prized possessions being man-handled, and treated as mere objects.
It doesn’t have to be this way however. The right removal company will treat your possessions with the proper care, and ensure that they are taken efficiently and safely to their new destination. But how can you tell good delivery services from bad ones?
It was once the case that the only way to be sure of a company’s credibility was through word of mouth. These days, however, things have changed dramatically. It’s now relatively easy to find out whether a company is a good or a bad one, and this is thanks to the internet.
Reviews are commonplace online, and so if you are unsure about a company it is relatively easy to find customer reviews. At ANYVAN, we want you to choose the best company for your needs, which is why we give you a choice of quotes and all you have to do is choose the best one.
