| August 29, 2007 | | Spread bets and CFDs on interest rates | Spread betting on U.S. interest rates should take into account that speculation is back on for a Fed rate cut in September. Even though the August Fed meeting focused a great deal on inflation, many are holding out hope that the Fed will make a decision to help investors by cutting the rate. Indeed, other spread betting decisions could be helped by a Fed rate cut as well, reports Reuters:
"Central bank policy interpretation will be the key
for successful currency and risky asset trading. While there is
little doubt the Fed will cut interest rates, the question
remains if the Fed will put itself ahead or behind the curve,"
BNP Paribas said in a note to clients. | | |
