Following the wingsuit testing jumps in Chammonix, France, BASE jumping Legend and Red Bull athlete, Valery Rozov is currently packing up after a training expedition that saw him climb up Mount Huascaran in Peru. This part of the #FXTMbasejump project saw Valery checking his gear and getting the acclimatization he needs for his big challenge in September, proving how vital it is to have the right preparation before attempting a great achievement.

Similarly, providing traders and investors with effective education has always been one of FXTM’s core missions and values.

The end of Ramadan celebrations took place in spectacular fashion at the FXTM Eid Fitri gathering in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 30^th of July, 2016. FXTM along with more than 50 exclusive traders, investors and partners of the region got together to enjoy a wonderful evening filled with entertainment, networking and delicious food.

The event took place in the grand Novotel Hotel, where a light and pleasant atmosphere filled the halls from the first moment the guests arrived, to the final goodbyes.

The evening kicked off with an uplifting music performance by a local music group, which offered the main entertainment for the evening and had all the guests ready to join them on stage. The guest were then welcomed by MC Hanas and introduced to FXTM.

Following their extravagant local and international buffet dinner, attendees were also given a brief introduction to forex trading by one of FXTM’s local partners. The night ended in an engaging pop quiz where winners were awarded with surprise gifts and a photo session among the guests and the FXTM speakers.

Our VP of Corporate Development and Market Research, Jameel Ahmad, visited FXTM’s recently-opened UK office while concluding another successful media tour in the UK. The chief expert conducted 4 one-on-one interviews with industry-leading outlets including major news agency companies Agence France-Presse (AFP) and Bloomberg News, online FX magazine Profit & Loss and Share Radio, a prominent finance radio station. 

With the recent Brexit vote still very much a hot topic, Jameel shared his analysis on how the UK markets were affected and what kind of consequences are expected to still occur.

Other topics surrounding Brexit included:

• How Brexit has further weakened the outlook for the impact on oil and the carry-trade selling opportunity hardly anyone spotted.
• Why Brexit should cause a lot of distress to the Bank of Japan
• How the emerging markets will benefit from Brexit
• Why UK’s decision will surely push back US interest rate expectations, putting the Dollar at severe risk.

Though it dominated conversations, Brexit was not, however, the only topic of discussion. Jameel also took the time to discuss the importance of trading education, expanding on FXTM’s devotion in this area, discussing the various seminars we hold and why it’s such an important aspect for today’s traders.

The media tour also served to promote FXTM’s values and to showcase Jameel’s expertise in the areas of market analysis during the sensitive post-Brexit aftermath.

Here are some of Jameel’s quotes from his TV interview with AFP:

On the price drop for oil after Brexit:

"If there's concerns over the global economy, if there's concerns in general in terms of economic uncertainty there is likely to be a knock-on effect on commodities, and it's no surprise to me that oil dropped from $50 to $46 just in the hours where the vote was being announced."

What Brexit means for the Federal Reserve:

"There's going to be quite severe ramifications on the Federal Reserve. They're going to probably need to push back their expectations for raising rates. Some even think they might need to cut it. And I think there definitely is an opportunity somewhere down the line to see further volatility for the dollar and I think the Federal Reserve will have to backtrack on their interest rate expectations."

What are UK’s options now?

"Maybe the UK will now need to define stronger trading terms with non-EU countries. Personally I think this is a risk when the emerging markets are entering a period of weaker economic growth, downsides on the price of oil, capital outflows due to the US dollar interest rate expectations. Yes, the UK is going to need to look to diversify ties outside the non-EU."
