Market Carnage provides opportunity for those brave

By Ronnie Chopra

This morning there has been a sharp fall in equity prices with the FTSE 100 falling below 6200 at the time of writing.

The sell-off has been brutal and the market reaction to Bernanke’s comments last night with regards to the end of tapering sending shudders through the markets. The reaction seems overdone as what he said was as expected but the markets always over-shoot. 

What Bernanke wrought

By Christopher Beauchamp

‘[We are] letting up a bit on the gas pedal… not beginning to apply the brakes.’  - Chairman Ben Bernanke, Fed press conference, 19 June 2013.

He might not be applying the brakes to QE, but he has certainly caused investors to swerve dramatically away from risk.

What does the future hold for the Indian rupee?

By Ronnie Chopra

With Indian growth slowing, the currency has been hit hard. But while this benefits some parts of the economy, the impact of the US Fed decisions and upcoming Indian elections means there could be lots more different pressures on the rupee in the medium-term future.

The weakness in the rupee in 2013 has been astounding. The severity of the fall in the last few weeks has caught many by surprise with the rupee falling from the low 80s against sterling (INR/GBP) to the current level of 91.70 (on 18 June 2013), and the low 50s against the US dollar (INR/USD) to 58.60 at the time I write this.

Aim stock to watch: Falkland Islands Holdings (FKL)

By Andrew Hore

Falkland Islands Holdings (FKL) provides investors with a lower risk exposure to the potential development of oil and gas prospects in the Falkland Islands. However, the return on the investment is unlikely to be seen until 2015 at the earliest.

Last year, FTSE 250 company Premier Oil acquired a 60% stake in the Sea Lion prospect discovered by Rockhopper.

Expect GBP, CAD & AUD weakness

By Ronnie Chopra

From a purchasing power point of view, sterling above 1.50 USD seems difficult to justify and with Mark Carney taking the reins at the Bank of England from July we may already have seen sterling's 2013 year high. Carney has been a strong advocate of more quantitative easing (QE) in the UK, which would drive sterling sharply lower.

GBP/USD 
Sterling’s sharp rise against the US dollar has caught many by surprise, the currency has recovered from 1.51 USD in May to the current 1.57 USD level. However, the 1.57 level is proving difficult to cross and we won’t be surprised if the USD now begins to regain some ground and take the GBP back to below 1.55 USD over the next couple of weeks.
