Interview with Kathy Lien: “Trade Defensively and Use a Stop” Posted: 26 Nov 2010 05:18 AM PST Today, we bring you an interview with Kathy Lien, the internationally published author, Director of Currency Research of FX360.com and GFT, and co-author of BKForex Advisor, one of the few investment advisory letters focusing strictly on the FX market. She is one of the authors of Investopedia's Forex Education section and has written for Tradingmarkets.com, the Asia Times Online, Stocks & Commodities Magazine, MarketWatch, ActiveTrader Magazine, Currency Trader, Futures Magazine and SFO. Below, Kathy shares her thoughts on fundamental analysis versus technical analysis, rate hikes in China, forex intervention, and other subjects.
Forex Blog: Can you briefly explain your approach to analyzing the forex markets. Do you prefer technical or fundamental analysis, or a combination of both?
Forex Blog: As head of currency research for GFT Forex, it looks like you cover most of the major currencies, as well as a handful of emerging/exotic currencies. What do you think about the macroeconomic gulf that is forming between the "G4″ economies (US, UK, Eurozone, Japan) and the emerging market economies (along the lines of debt, GDP growth, etc.)? Do you think that this division is reflected in forex markets?
Forex Blog: You blogged recently about interest rate hikes in China and the possibility that the Chinese economy could slow down. What do you think are the implications for the forex markets?
Forex Blog: In a recent post entitled, “Dollar: 3 reasons Behind the Rally,” you suggested that the Fed is skeptical that its QE2 program will succeed in stimulating the economy. Can you elaborate on why you think this will benefit the Dollar?
Forex Blog: It has been said that the Fed is caught in a lose-lose situation, whereby its QE2 will fail and the US economy will drift back into recession or it will succeed in invigorating the economy and stoking inflation. Do you share this interpretation?
Forex Blog: In a comparison of the Australian and Canadian Dollars, you asserted that while both countries’ economies are based around commodities, “At the end of the day however it is important to remember that Canada is not Australia.” With this in mind, can you elaborate on why the Aussie has a better chance of trading above parity (with the US Dollar) than the Loonie?
Forex Blog: A discussion of the major themes in forex markets wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the ongoing currency wars. First of all, do you think that the label “currency war” is fair? Do you think that most countries’ Central Banks will continue to intervene on behalf of their respective currencies, and do you think they will succeed in preventing them from rising further?
Forex Blog: What is your advice for (forex) investors that want to beat the market during these uncertain times?
