Everything you wanted to know about assets

One of the main reasons behind global success of binary option trading is the availability of so many opportunities and assets to trade on. You can choose any asset you want to trade without any restrictions. Understanding the basic principles that control each type of asset class is very important to achieve success and make profits.

A very important fact to remember is that in binary options trading, trades are actually predictions about price movements of the asset; there is no trading on the actual underlying asset. This is why anyone can start option trading without any need of big investment capital. Here are the asset classes and their details:

What happened Last Friday and why it's so important

Yesterday was a very exciting day in the markets as the European Central Bank President, Mario Draghi, managed to momentarily break the Euro up trend that has been going strong for the past few months.

Draghi hinted yesterday that he would feel “comfortable” taking some sort of action if needed to stop the current trend, meaning that the ECB is willing to step in if needed. He also stated that QE (quantitative easing) could be taken into consideration if no other measure proves successful. The target date has been set for June, this is when a decision will be taken whether or not these “further actions” should be taken.

Apple iPhone could get a boost from early upgrades

Susquehanna analyst Chris Caso said the decision of carriers, including T-Mobile and AT&T, to offer plans that allow consumers to upgrade their phones in either 12 or 18 months instead of the typical 24-month period could boost demand for Apple’s new iPhone when it launches later this year.

This could be an even more critical factor since the new iPhones are expected to feature bigger screens and will therefore be pricier.

“The early upgrade plans only cost the consumer marginally more than a traditional plan, and require no down payment to acquire a new phone,” Caso told clients in a note. “In general under these plans, the consumer is paying an additional to per month for the privilege of upgrading early, depending on the timing of the upgrade.”

LIBOR's Influence Today

The benchmarks of interest rates for currencies and gold are fixed by a selected group of people in London. London Interbank Offered Rate, commonly known as LIBOR, is a benchmark rate that is frequently used for billions of dollars when dealing in swaps or loans. This short term rate represents the fund cost for major banks in London. The British Bankers’ Association was responsible for the administration of LIBOR before February 2014. It was a duty of the association to review the panel of more than twelve banks every day and every bank that participated was required to follow a certain criteria on which its LIBOR submissions were based.

In the forex market, benchmark foreign exchange rate that is fixed at 4 p.m. in London is known as the closing currency fix. They are also called Reuters benchmark rates or WM benchmark rates, and are set on the basis of actual trade conducted by forex traders in the interbank market during one minute window. The benchmark rates of twenty one other currencies are also determined on the basis of trades executed during these sixty seconds.

Gold slipped on Tuesday as outflows from bullion funds and stronger equities offset safe-haven demand for the metal from the Ukraine crisis.

Asian shares and the dollar rose, boosted by a strong performance on Wall Street, with Indian equities rallying on hopes an election victory for the business-friendly opposition party would spur a revival in the economy.
