About :
QUOTE
Charles-Henri Sabet has a brilliant and original career path since his youngest age; strongly influenced by his Egyptian-Lebanese origins. Very early, he discovers the taste for bargaining, trade and strategic games. He was quickly responsabilised and thanks to his multiple talents, strong curiosity and a very large intelligence; he became autonomous rapidly. First through backgammon where he received the title of world champion in 1985, when he just turned 24! But he needed more intellectually and started his career in the financial world. Thanks to strong leadership skills he occupied senior positions in trading rooms. First at Crédit Agricole then at Swiss Bank Corporation (now UBS) where he managed the foreign-exchange and treasury desk.

Charles-Henri Sabet is an entrepreneur and an excellent strategist: he established his own business, when he had just turned 30. TCC was a trading company specialized in foreign-exchange, options and interest rates. Its rapid expansion led TCC to be positioned among the largest intervenants in the foreign exchange market despite a still small size. Charles-Henri’s great intuition, excellent risk management and market’s intelligence brought him widespread respect and recognition in the financial world.

With such business growth, Charles-Henri decided to apply for the Swiss banking licence in 1999 which he obtained very quickly mid-99. This period will give him great knowledge in banking regulations and financial law, internal controling and risk management. Moreover he always says that he loves law so much that if he could, he would start studying it. Synthesis Bank, as a traditional bank will go through a difficult period such as the tech bubble and september 11. The bank will not reach its growth expectations and will find itself in a tough financial situation. Charles-Henri, in a very pro-active way and with its legendary dynamism, revolutionizes the core activity of the bank and goes back to his first love: trading ; but this time by relying on today’s technology. He creates an internet bank active in all financial markets : foreign-exchange,, stocks, futures, derivatives, funds, options and other products. His goal is to democratise the trading world by also bringing financial education and support to clients.

Charles-Henri will get involved with new technology trading tools, marketing, internet world, without forgetting an increased risk management considering the volatile nature of the environment. He will develop fully automatized risk optimization programs based on behavioural studies of clients in their way of trading.

The internet bank’s success attracts potential investors and buyers. In 2007, Charles-Henri decides to sell Synthesis Bank to its IT provider Saxo Bank.

Today Charles-Henri dedicates much of his time to his family which he has just created. He works on several very promising projects which are still on trial for the moment.

In the meantime Charles-Henri will be happy to share with you his macro views on the economy

It is important for traders to know that the British economy is dominated by the banking and Oil industries. However, the recent tumble in Oil giant BP’s profits has helped the price of Oil slide in Tuesday’s trading to $66.70 a barrel. There seems to be a pattern with negative U.S. economic news, pessimistic British economic news, and tumbling Oil prices. If we see a combination of more of this behavior this week, then the forecast for the Pound will remain bleak. However, never write off the GBP, as it always has the ability to beat market expectations.

If you want to start trading forex now, why not open an account with ForexYard. Your trading will be made easier as I continue to uncover the British currency’s trends and fluctuations throughout the trading week. You can follow this by going to my blog page. In the next month, I will publish a number of relevant articles, predominantly on the GBP, in order for you to understand the bigger picture of the forex market, and make your trading easier. In the meantime, I recommend that you open your Pound positions en-masse, as this week’s forex trading kicks off.

· A slight increase in prices represents a slight increase in market growth, which is positive for the economy.

· After this release, it might create volatility in the market.

· Very positive results will push the USD further up as it signals that demand for US goods has increased.

Gold Tips:

· Gold’s recent upward movement has pushed its technical indicators into showing that a downward move is on the way

· On the other hand, long-term indicators, such as those on the daily chart, show that there remains a strong level of support to Gold prices

· Most indications today are for a sharp volatile jump, likely to happen around the opening of the US market at 13:00 GMT, or even sooner.

· An upward jump will have a target price of $940; a downward drop will have a target price of $890.
