Interest Rate Put Options
http://www.options-trading-education.com/24028/interest-rate-put-options/
With the possibility at hand that interest rates may fall, interest rate put options could be profitable. As with all options trading interest rate put options require a sound options trading strategy. Unlike trading options on stocks or commodity futures, trading interest rate put options do not have to do with a specific company or a commodity such as gold, corn or oil. Rather interest rates are driven by the economy and by the actions of the United States central bank, the US Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is cutting back on its monthly bond purchases, the quantitative easing stimulus plan widely credited from keeping the country from falling into a long term depression. As the Fed stops pouring money into buying US Treasuries and corporate bonds it serves to let rates fall and the value of existing bonds to rise. With this factor at work one would jump on interest rate put options as rates would be falling. But, there are more factors in play that might make calls on interest rates profitable ventures.
Interest Rate Options
An interest rate option is a derivative contract. The value of that contract is based on interest rates, typically the ten year Treasury note. When traders believe that interest rates will go up they buy calls and when they believe that rates will fall they buy puts. A trader with a call contract makes money when interest rates rise and a trader with a put contract profits when rates fall.
China, Europe and Housing Starts
China has seen its growth rate slow down. The response of the central bank of China has been to buy US Treasuries. This drives up the value of the dollar on Forex markets and drives down the Chinese currency. In addition, it can serve to drive interest rates back up because of buying pressure on the market. In addition, the EU is still struggling to get out of the persistent recession on its Southern flank and its stimulus programs may also drive the dollar higher. And, economists are pleased on one hand that the value of family homes is on the rise and on the other hand that that rate of increase is leveling off. This means that people that were upside down on their mortgages are in better shape. And, what do these factors have to do with interest rates?
India rupee jumps to 1 month high on likely dollar inflowsRoute Forex
The Indian rupee rose to a one-month high against the dollar, helped by banks’ greenback sales likely on behalf of their custodial clients who stepped up investments into local markets. Rupee’s appreciation is not due to any changes in the fundamentals but because of expectations of fund inflows, therefore some strength in the local currency may continue in the near term. However, weak local shares and uptick in dollar index along with rebound in the oil prices limited larger gains in the rupee. For further cues U.S.-China trade talks will be closely watched by the investors.

The financial markets concluded the week, month, and quarter on a positive note.
Asset values, including cryptocurrencies and equities, closed the day higher. This
provided a glimmer of hope for investors who have been feeling apprehensive due to
the increasing number of global economic concerns.
Bitcoin's recent surge hit a snag when it reached the $30,000 mark, resulting in a period
of consolidation. The rally was fueled in part by a decrease in the value of the dollar, as
well as an increase in both liquidity and volatility. However, it seems that this momen-
tum has come to a halt due to the ongoing global banking crisis. Despite a federal
regulatory crackdown on crypto companies and a market environment that is becom-
ing increasingly risk-averse, the token has continued to soar. In fact, BTC/USD has
reached a peak not seen in nine months.
Bitcoin is on the cusp of confirming its first Quarterly Bullish Engulfing Candle since
early 2020, which is a noteworthy development. Historical data indicates that such
candles have frequently preceded multiple quarters of upward momentum in the crypto-
currency market. In the first quarter of 2023, Bitcoin experienced a substantial price
surge, rising by over 72.25%. This is a promising sign for investors and traders who are
looking to capitalise on the cryptocurrency market's potential for growth.
Upon analysing the technical aspects of Bitcoin's price action during this period, it is
evident that the last three candlesticks on the monthly chart accurately depict the
performance of the first quarter.
In January, Bitcoin experienced a significant surge, resulting in a nearly 40%
increase in prices. However, this upward trend was short-lived as it encountered a
resistance barrier at the September 2022 high of $22,800. This event was marked by
the emergence of a long, full-bodied candle in the market charts.
In February, prices opened and closed at a similar level, just above the September
2022 high. According to technical analysis, the Doji is a single-candlestick pattern that
occurs when a narrow-body forms in the middle of the monthly range, which in this
case is the February high and low. This pattern indicates indecision in the market as
both bulls and bears fail to gain traction, resulting in prices settling around the monthly
open.
In March, a full-body candle with a long lower-wick was observed. This was accom-
panied by the failure of the aforementioned banks, which led to an increase in demand
for Bitcoin. As a result, prices surged past a significant level of prior resistance and are
now holding steady above the 50-month moving average. This trend indicates a strong
support level for
For March, the crypto market saw a close to positive mode. At the time of writing, the
global cryptocurrency market cap stands at $1.23 trillion, a rise of 7.90% in the last
month. At the start of the month, the total crypto market cap was $1.14 trillion.

Foreign Investment in 2016
Over the long term it can be a good idea to diversify your investments offshore. Because of the tendency for exchange rates to vary up and down, timing can be a major issue for when to invest and when to take your profits. In this regard we look at foreign investment in 2016. Bloomberg Business notes that there is a glimmer of hope in 2016 for the world’s most battered currencies.
The outlook is improving for some of the world’s most-battered currencies after a plunge in raw materials spurred routs from the Colombian peso to Russia’s ruble in 2015.
Analysts are forecasting gains for the currencies most linked to oil even as they see more declines in store for those with stronger ties to industrial metals, such as Chile’s peso and Peru’s sol. After its worst year in more than a decade, Canada’s dollar may bounce back with crude, while the Australian and New Zealand dollars are poised for tumbles as policy makers consider interest-rate cuts to spur growth, forecasts for next year show.
While a slowdown in China continues to hurt exporters, signs that the world’s second-biggest economy is stabilizing and increased clarity on the timing for U.S. rate increases are bolstering speculation that commodities will rebound from their worst year since 2008. Crude, grains and soy are all expected to rise next year, even as precious metals such as gold slip or stay little changed, according to analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
The point is to invest offshore when a currency is weak in relation to the U.S. dollar and sell when the situation is revered. Due to the fall in oil and other commodity prices many foreign currencies have suffered. Here is a chart from Bloomberg with anticipated movement of foreign currencies versus the USD in the coming year.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

BITCOIN PRICE FLUCTUATION IN 2015 AND A FORECAST FOR 2016

Bitcoin Price Fluctuation In 2015 And A Forecast For 2016
The year 2015 has ended and investors can now calculate the result of their investment activities. What has Bitcoin
brought to us last year? On the first day on the year 2015, January 01, 2015, the price of Bitcoin moved to the level of
$313, which is 59.35% less than a year before that, on January 01, 2014, when the price was $770.
During the first two weeks of 2015 the price of Bitcoin dropped sharply to $177. The price then rose gradually to $250
in September and had moved to another top of $300 by the end of October. The maximum price in 2015 we saw in
December 2015, when the Bitcoin price was approaching a level of $480. However, on New Year’s Eve investors
decided to take their profit and the price of Bitcoin has now dropped to $430.
As we have seen, in 2015 Bitcoin had to deal with a lot of factors that influenced the cryptocurrency’s volatility and
price. However, in 2015 the daily volume of transactions reached new levels as Bitcoin approached world famous
payment systems, such as Western Union andPayPal. Bitcoin’s transaction fee is relatively lower than most other
payment systems. The volume of investments in US Dollar in 2015 increased to $469 million. More than one hundred
thousand companies worldwide are now accepting Bitcoin as payment. Therefore, despite all the difficulties that the
cryptocurrency had to face in 2015, Bitcoin confidently holds its position and is firmly embedded in our daily lives.
2. The year 2016
In 2016, with some confidence we can say that Bitcoin will continue to grow. One reason for this is the two-time
reduction of new Bitcoin coming into the market. According to the Bitcoin algorithm the reward for confirming one
block is reduced twice every four years. And the year 2016 is one such year. In addition, the growing popularity of
Bitcoin as a means of payment for goods will lead to an increase in its use. These two factors together will cause
increased demand and a shortage of Bitcoin in the market.
According to Tone Vays, Head of Research at BraveNewCoin, the bullish trend of Bitcoin will be restored in the 3rd
quarter of 2016, but has not ruled out a rollback to the level of $300. We asked Patrick Dugan from USA – CFO at
Omni Foundation about when to expect a recovery of the bullish trend on Bitcoin, too. According to him:
“We’re in the eye of the storm of an extremely bullish wave that will eclipse the previous one before
going into an even larger triangle consolidation between $600 and $350.”
Let’s now take a look at the major competitors of Bitcoin. In our opinion, they are the US Dollar, Euro, British Pound,
Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan and Gold. This time oil will not be considered due to the collapse of its price.
Dollar
3. The US Dollar is the strongest and the main competitor of Bitcoin. Despite December’s decline, the Dollar has
managed to finish the year 2015 with a growth of 9 percent against other major currencies. Last year, the dollar has
shown the maximum growth of the last 10-15 years. According to experts at the big banks, the Dollar will continue to
grow in 2016 as well. So, Bitcoin will always feel the pressure of the Dollar.
Euro
The second most important currency in the world and the main competitor of the Dollar is the Euro. It has a leading
position as one of the major reserve currencies. The Euro is considered to be a funding currency. This means that
European banks use this currency to raise funds in order to ensure their core business. Previously, this function was
performed by the Dollar. Such status has a positive effect on the Euro and makes it a sort of safe sanctuary. However,
forecasts for the Euro price in 2016 are disappointing. By year end, the EUR/USD exchange rates could come close
to a level of 0.95.
British Pound
Since 2006, the Pound returned itself to a status of reserve currency and became the third largest among the world’s
currencies. An especially noticeable rise in popularity of pounds is seen in recent years. In 2016, the British Pound
will be under pressure from the Dollar, due to the reduction of the budget of England and the constant threat of the
UK’s exit from the EU. Moreover, the Bank of England continually postpones rate hikes, which adversely affects the
Pound. Next year, we will clearly see the decrease to 1.4 and maybe even 1.3.
Yen
Japan’s national currency has a status of reserve currency. In 2016, the Yen will obviously continue to decline against
the Dollar to the levels of $130. However, there is huge potential in the Yen. As it is the only one of the world’s
currencies, which in 2016 will be able to provide decent resistance to the Dollar.
Yuan
In 2015, Yuan fixed its positions as the main currency in settlements with the neighboring countries, and has become
one of the most popular currency in the world. In Southeast Asia the Yuan is considered to be the main currency. The
global share of RMB settlements also increased. Now, the Yuan is considered to be the fourth most popular currency
in the world. However, the IMF has not included Yuan as a reserve currency yet. Rising pressure of Yuan may also put
pressure on the Bitcoin. In China, as we know, there are three Bitcoin exchanges, and China has the largest the
population in the world. Therefore, Bitcoin traders and users should pay more attention to Yuan movements.
Gold
In recent years we have seen precious metals gradually loses their status as safe investment instruments. The
attitude to Gold is set to be quite negative and by end of the year it is possible that the price will fall lower than $1,000.
To date we are not considering other cryptocurrencies as competitors. That is a topic for another article. We also
believe that the factors that affect the Bitcoin price with the negative and the positive side, will also continue to
influence this cryptocurrency in 2016.

As of this posting, the Dow futures were down about 400 points and the Chinese shut down their stock
exchange. If you’re an investor, it seems to me there might be a flight to quality such as gold or silver.
