G20 Fades:
Risk Aversion Returns to Forex as Hope from G20 Fades
The period leading up to the G 20 meeting was generally marked by optimism and hopefulness. One commentator urged his readers: “Don’t write off the London G20 meeting. It could lay the foundations for fundamental global change, impacting currencies , gold and bond markets . ”
Investors rejoiced and the markets rallied, with the Dow rising above 8000 points and capping “the best four-week rally since the week ending May 1 2 , 1 9 3 3 .” Bulls can now retort that the stock market bust of 1929 took four years to recover, while the recession of 2008-2009 required less than one year. Forex markets also reacted “positively” to the G20 summit, lifting the Dollar above the important psychological barrier of 100 Yen / USD, and causing emerging market currencies to rise across the board.
