Lead the markets.

We bring focus and clarity to a complex world, distilling information from a wide range of sources into a clear and actionable narrative

We go beyond the data to provide context and colour to our clients allowing them not just to keep abreast of developments but to stay ahead of the news.

We are a fact checker, a filter, and a partner – identifying the opportunities so you can take advantage of them

We present complicated information simply, and unambiguously, with a focus on where the opportunities are, and how they might be traded.

We cover all events that have the potential to move financial markets – putting news and data into context. As we take no positions ourselves, our focus is always on keeping you up to speed on new events, and placing these in an actionable market context.

We look at all asset classes across both developed and emerging markets, seeking to identify the trends and opportunities.

We provide analysis and colour on both monetary and fiscal policy, providing detailed coverage of speeches and interviews. We deliver extensive previews ahead of key events (monetary policy decisions / fiscal budgets etc) and then look for the nuance in the comments to place them in their broader context – all in real time.

We provide insight into political and geopolitical events- again putting events into their broad global context and the impact this might have on financial markets. We will provide through the night coverage of elections as and when appropriate and many of our clients say we are the go to source on how to trade political events.

We provide full coverage of economic data and events, in the form of previews ahead of time, commentary as the news breaks and detailed analysis afterwards.

We don’t just report the news or the data. We put it in context and look at how the market might respond. We look at why markets are moving – whether they are not moving enough, or whether they are moving too much.

We look at the full range of market moving macro stories, and our focus changes with the market – always seeking to identify not just what is moving markets – but more importantly what is about to move markets.

We look at market positioning and liquidity, technical levels and option levels - not just in FX but in all related markets. In a highly interconnected market, FX does not stand alone and we look at the interplay between FX markets, fixed income and rates, equities and commodities.

FX Effects deliver market commentary in real time via secure and compliant bilateral chats. This means you have access to us at all times, and we are always happy to answer questions or provide bespoke analysis and comment to meet your needs, or simply be a sounding board with whom to discuss ideas.

As well as the real time commentary during the day, we provide full and detailed coverage of overnight markets, so clients can arrive at their desks fully aware of data, events and price action overnight. We always look to relate events to the day ahead, and identify the themes and trades that may develop.

We provide detailed economic calendars for a range of countries, covering the data alongside major speakers, central bank and fiscal events. Likewise, ahead of key events (elections, Central Bank meetings etc) we provide detailed previews looking to identify key risks and opportunities.

We also provide other resources including daily updates on large option expiries, levels to watch in the options market and comprehensive summaries of central bank speakers.

FX Effects have built a diverse client base covering trading, sales and research staff at a wide range of institutions including banks, hedge funds, real money funds, agency brokers, prop shops and wealth managers. We take great pride in the fact that clients with large research arms – or comprehensive coverage from across the Street – value our product and feel we add something a little different.

We strongly believe the unbiased way in which we present markets is applicable to a wide variety of roles and investment styles. Our client base is not restricted to FX markets – but rather appeals to anyone with a macro-orientated view, particularly those from fixed income and rates markets.
