An Audience With Ashraf Laidi
Ashraf Laidi, founder and CEO of Intermarket Strategy and the author of 'Currency Trading & Intermarket Analysis - How To Profit From The Shifting Currents In Global Markets'.
Ashraf's expertise in dissecting Federal Reserve policy and unraveling the cyclical relationships between yield curves, economic indicators and equity market performance enabled him to predict the Federal Reserve interest rate cuts of summer 2007, four months prior to their occurrence at a time when the majority of economists, strategists and traders anticipated rates to be hiked or left unchanged. He went on to call the record highs in gold and the dollar's break below parity against the Swiss Franc and the Canadian dollar. During the summer of 2008, Ashraf persistently predicted that the Federal Reserve would continue cutting rates at a time when Fed funds futures were pricing in a 95% chance of rate hikes in the fall.
Ashraf regularly appears on CNBC, Bloomberg TV and the BBC. His insights also appear in the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Barrons, New York Times and a host of other international publications.
We strongly recommend his book 'Currency Trading & Intermarket Analysis - How To Profit From The Shifting Currents In Global Markets'.
