I’m so lucky that impulse happened on GBPUSD that Sunday night when the Nikkei opened. 💀 I only was risking .25% per trade and then took a shower and then I came back and made 20k. Thank you hedge funds ☺️
@@displayname2149 in my FTMO account with 200k, on GBP/JPY I sold 3.58 lots at 155.041-151.350. GBP/USD sell 1.5 lots 1.08207-1.05267. I made a total of 15,000 USD combined primarily from GJ. The remaining 5,000 came from spillover in other currencies and equities so I also sold 1.5 lots of AUD and shorted Hang Seng and the Nikkei and that was the remaining 5000 dollars. So the size of the positions were about 200,000 USD considering the size of the contracts.
With shale light and Canadian heavy crude, US can be energy independent and have the surplus to supply Europe. For housing markets, you’ll need to boost interest rates to lower the incentive to use real estate as an investment/savings account.
The US already is energy independent but since energy prices are set on the global market unless they cap prices on both sides of the coin there simply is no way to influence the market. The only way raising interest rates are going to work is by having double digit interest rates which will bring a lot of pain to main street. Even with that I'm still not confident it'll work if investment funds are cutting deals with homebuilders to buy up supply at a 15-20% discount.
here is the point, after 14 years interest rates have turned - America is increasing global interest rates, this will hurt anyone with a lot of debt or running unsustainable debt (Sri Lanka) or financial policies based on more debt that lack credibility (UK)
On the 2 minute mark, do conservative investors like Pension Funds really hold Interest rate swaps, that too in any substantial amount? I can understand they would hold a lot of govt. bonds and any fluctuation in bond prices would affect them. But pension funds and swaps - something doesn't sound right?
Because yields have been low for so long, they've been buying risker assets (e.g. equities) as part of their portfolios to go in search of the returns they need to be able to pay pensioners. But when not holding 100% bonds, they end up at risk of interest rates falling, because it leaves them with a negative funding level (which is a little confusing but it happens because of how liabilities are discounted). So the solution to that is to use derivatives to go very long on bonds, which is okay when everything is predictable, but a sudden spike in yields like we saw recently can lead to these disastrous runs. You get margin called when bond prices drop, so have to sell more bonds to post extra collateral, which tanks bond prices more, and the spiral gets worse and worse 😵💫

This is the dumbest way of hedging interest way risks, because your directional risk is the same, you are using non-linear risks assets to hedge linear risks assets
Pension funds trading derivatives? Really, shouldn't the United Kingdom know better? I am American and I know this kind of trading is risky enough; retirement planning services such as a pension (even if it is a public or private pension) should own the physical underlying asset, not speculate per derivatives. (In this case I assume UK government bonds.)
They were not speculating - they use LDI to protect a schemes funding level against movement in inflation and interest rates. LDI portfolios are designed to move in the same direction as the PV of livabilities. This video has only explained the asset movement side which is potentially misleading.
@@CBCSolutions Statistical analysis is used in many prediction programs and portfolio schema (including as assumed of LDI being Liability-driven investing.) So, yes, this "scheme," or at least to cover the asset's loss or gain is speculation. Sure the R-squared might be high enough to give many positive results in common market conditions; but when did a recession happen as predicted? A low or no number of times. I agree that present value (PV) is predictable when the market is so as well; but shortfalls and winfalls happen especially when central bank interest rates were at record historical lows. So, what level should LDI (and other similar portfolios) cover for change in present value and other risk factors? Asset insurance as an answer to derivative markets or physical holdings such as pension and mutual funds? Not entirely sure; because; this was totally predictable as the math does not work when inflation or interest rates spike and would produce an outlier (or sustained outliers in our present time today) to create the shortfall.
Doesn't make sense. Bonds are collaterals. No reason to sell off bonds to gather cash to buy other collaterals. Government bonds can flop in market trading price but they are still the safest of the safest assets without or with-low credit risk unless it's all about trading that they speculate more drop in bonds so they rather sell them to buy back cheaper than pledge them as collateral.
so in the UK pension funds gamble with the money of the people ??? is that right ?? SCARY !!!!!!!!!!!! How on earth is that alloed in your country ?? and why are you risking your pensions for some to gamble with your money ???
derivatives are a dirty thing. it is just like betting, only thing is it is allowed by the govt and it is pictured as very professional thing. The same kind of thing happens in casinos but they are termed as different, as gamblers.
Depend entirely on how you use derivatives. Are you going all in based on a guess, thus betting, or are you hedging your portfolio, so not betting but protecting your income? As long as we don't have these feedback loops in which derivatives played a role I don't see the problem. I think the problem is more nuanced than 'durr those pesky derivatives', Truss as prime minister hasn't helped.
@@krishnaSagar69 The original intention of derivates were, and still is, to manage risk.

You might have to listen again to the video. They do explain it, it's just not the easiest to absorb unless you work in finance (which I don't) and are familiar with their terms and whatknot.
The deficit created by tax reductions, investors (or market participants) believe, will be managed by issuing fresh bonds. As the demand for fresh debt (bonds) is already weak, the value of bonds that are traded in the market saw additional pressure. This triggered a sell-off as investors ran for cover. As bonds got liquidated, derivative contracts opened using leverage received margin calls. As liquidity worsened, the only option was borrowing currency or selling additional bonds. This weakened the pound and created a vicious cycle.
Derivatives didn't ravage the financial markets. Improper use of the financial products without proper stress tests, and inane financial policies by the British government caused it. That's a very misleading headline.
People are so easily persuaded by sensationalism, the fault for the crisis falls mostly on the unwise decision of the uk government. Derivatives main function is to hedge risks, even without them people would be taking excessive risk.
