What causes the economic growth of Australia?

Market Leader informed

In its latest GDP report the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that the country’s economy is in healthy condition and there are no reasons for concern. The GDP has grown by 0.7%, which is 0.1% better than expected.

The main source of the economic growth is the continuous investment inflow in the mining and energy sectors of the Australian economy. The unsatisfied demand shown by Asia, especially by China, makes numerous Australian companies expand their production while the growing export revenues have a positive impact on the overall economic situation in the country. Positive GDP value, high employment and significant capital inflow put Australia at the same level with the world’s most developed economies.

The New York Times and Wall Street Journal: What Countries Should Expect the Next Revolution?

Market Leader informed

The virus of color revolutions that has taken over the Muslim world drives leading news media of the world to start publishing their own forecasts of how this trend will evolve in the future.

 

These forecasts are absurd inasmuch as western analysts are unclear about the nature of these revolutions, as explain experts of the US Land Association of the Masterforex-V Trading Academy. They still cannot understand why the Middle East and North Africa are 'in a fever'. If they understood this key thing (revolution criteria are unclear, so, they feel neither the strength of the trend nor its vector), serious western media would have already started publishing forecasts... as to where the next revolution will take place.

What Salaries Are Paid to Doctors in Russia, Ukraine... and Elsewhere in the World?

Market Leader informed

By definition, the doctor is one of the most respectable professions in any society. Respectable, but not always and everywhere adequately paid and, as a result, appreciated by the government. How are medical practitioners doing in the CIS area and should they envy their foreign colleagues - the subject of another analysis carried out by experts of the Masterforex-V Trading Academy.

Salaries of Doctors in CIS

 Russia and Moscow. There are over 600,000 doctors working in Russia - it is one of the highest per capita figures (there are about 800,000 doctors in the US with a population more than double of that in Russia). So, per one doctor, there are:
* 199 patients in Russia;
* 294 people in France;
* 238 people in Belgium;
* 1,246 people in Belarus.

Gas Prices: Why did Demand Decline?

Market Leader informed

Relatively warm weather in the US during the reporting week pushed down demand for gas used for domestic heating and by power stations.

However, the temperature rose last week, including by 12.6F or 16% in some southern and central regions.

The market of corn: what price attracts investors most of all?

Market Leader informed

The price of corn has grown up to the record 30-month high. And there are no preconditions for the price to stabilize. The closest resistance level is at $0.779/b, the high of June 2008. Last month the production volume (which turned out to be lower than expected) was the major market driver. This month it is the increased demand for corn that influences the price. A decline (by 4Mtons) in the crop yield in Mexico expected this winter keeps influencing the market as well.

Exclusive trading system TS4ET.

Market Leader informed

Strange as it may seem, but the famous Pareto rule (also known as the “80/20 rule” or the principle of the “vital few and the trivial many” is applicable anywhere. 20% of the world population uses 80% of all the available recourses (if it was vice versa then 80% of efforts would only be 20% efficient).

Trading is based on statistics, which is a terrible thing. It is impossible to deceive it. Figures reveal everything. Out of 100% of traders only about 5% (professionals) earn. They make 20% efforts to achieve 80% results – profit. If you are one of them, just take a break.

The remaining 95% of the traders do not take the rule into account. They are busy deceiving themselves and losing their deposits, time and effort but getting their own “golden” experience.

Out of all those hordes of “traders” who once came to the market planning to conquer it, only those reached success, who:

·         Lost their deposits within the first 1-1.5 years

·         Stopped trading to reconsider everything and then came back

·         Spent money to study 4 or 5 different trading system but didn’t understand anything and decided to create their own TS

·         Started using timeframes H1 and higher during the trading process

·         Forgot about the super-profitability of 100% a month and higher

·         Do not allow the total risk for all the trades to exceed 2.5-5% of the capital.

·         First place a stop loss order then open a trade.

For investors: will coffee grow in price?

Market Leader informed

In the near-term perspective the pieces on coffee will depend on the problems affecting the production volume (low reserves, unfavorable weather conditions and sick coffee plants) in numerous coffee-exporting countries around the world (for details read the article “Coffee market: perspectives for investors”).  Consequently, the coffee prices are expected to see further growth, showing a delicate balance of supply and demand.

The average monthly value of the ICO Composite indicator price grew from $184,26 per pound in December 2010 up to $197,35 per pound in January 2011 (a 7.1% increase). The ICO Composite indicator price is equal to the arithmetic mean value of the daily prices for some specific kinds of coffee (like Mild Arabicas and Robusta), calculated in accordance with the export share of each type determined by the ICO (the calculations are based on the values shown by the coffee markets of the US, France and Germany). The current value is the highest since September 1994. The index value has already gained 55% as compared to the value seen in January 2010. Moreover all the 4 kinds of coffee (Colombian Milds, Other Milds, Brazillan Naturals, Robustas) have seen their prices growing. The given statistics confirm the bullish tendency at the global market of coffee.
