  • Exclusive first look at the winners of the 2009 Awards for Excellence: be the first to see the results.
  • I have been looking at some of the technology issues facing Europe’s equity markets. To cut a long story short, the region’s equity markets are fragmenting, leading to a situation where it resembles FX in many ways. This would, for the moment at least, put paid to the argument that FX liquidity will eventually pool on to just one or two platforms.
  • The Swiss National Bank has made it clear to the FX market that it has set more than a metaphorical line in the sand when it says it doesn’t want EUR/CHF to drop below 1.50. On Wednesday, it came wading in as the rate neared this level and sent it sharply higher to just under 1.5400. Intervention is often spoken of as futile, but that clearly isn’t always true.
  • Not a day goes by when I don’t see something in the media about Twitter. Even though I have a Twit – or whatever it’s called – of my own, I don’t really understand it. Recently, I got semi-excited about one of my latest followers after I saw her picture. But when I clicked on her link, I discovered she was touting what can only be described as a semi-pornographic website. So it’s not surprising that most financial institutions won’t let Twitter through their firewalls.
  • Icap has just added various enhancements to its EBS spot platform.
  • There is a group of investors who don’t feel comfortable unless there’s a benchmark to use. So clearly there’s a need for indices that measure movements in FX. And the announcement this week of indices from FTSE Group and MSCI should at least put the final nail in the coffin of that old story that FX is an asset class in its own right.
  • This week, I’ve been learning to play an obscure tune called Check your bucket by the late great Eddie Bo. For some bizarre reason, the song immediately came to mind when I heard that Darren Stacey had resigned from UniCredit to go back to BofA/Merrill Lynch. Stacey has a solid reputation and is very well regarded, so he must know what he’s doing.
  • ClientKnowledge has hired Tracey Kent as a business development manager and Jean Marc Depinay as a quantitative analyst. Kent was previously at Icap/EBS for five years, most recently as a sales executive. Depinay, who has worked in the health industry as a statistical modeller and on the BNP Paribas risk management team, has a PhD in applied mathematics.
  • If the savings rate has moved from -2% to +6% and industrial capacity usage has dropped to 65%, can the official drop of 3% in GDP be correct?
  • Citi’s regional CEO for Asia leaves for Mastercard.
  • Barclays has apparently lured John Green from JPMorgan to do FX sales to the Middle East and Chris Svensson from Deutsche to do FX sales to Scandinavia.
