Chapter 117: A Little Play

Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.

Abel sat behind Goldman Sachs' console, or rather, he sat in a VIP room with clear glass partitions behind the console.

Hamilton had accompanied him here, and then he dispersed to go about his own business. He is one of the financial directors of Goldman Sachs and a partner of Goldman Sachs, and it is impossible for him to be by Abel's side all the time, even if Abel is a high-quality big customer in his mind, he can't do this.

Only John Smith.

In just two days, the trader who accounted for more than 300,000 US dollars on Abel could follow Abel all the time, hoping to make some more money.

But Abel didn't have time to pay attention to him now.

On the surface, he was looking at some confidential market documents and information of Goldman Sachs sent by John Smith, and he was fascinated and serious.

But actually.

He was looking at something else, he was looking at the information that the little wrecking ball projected in his mind.

The first thing to look at is the cotton futures that he ruthlessly made yesterday. As he expected, because of his butterfly, the trajectory of cotton futures and history has changed.

The original history.

Cotton futures should fall back today, because several of the world's major cotton-producing countries have launched good news, causing cotton to fall in response. These changes are completely different from those recorded in the small wrecking ball, which records that cotton futures will rise by another 4 percentage points today......

The butterfly changed.

"Fortunately, I didn't die and continued to operate cotton...... The rapid change in the financial market, maybe a tractor on a North American farm broke down, affecting the market of agricultural futures, which is really a bit scary. ”

Abel calculated in his heart.

If he continued to chase today's cotton futures yesterday, he would probably have suffered a small loss.

It's a good thing he didn't.

The little wrecking ball is good for everything, but the information in finance is not omnipotent. Abel had experimented in Los Angeles before, and this time he came to New York, the financial capital, to verify this again.

But......

It's not completely useless.

Because of his intervention, cotton futures led to butterfly changes, and there were different changes from the "original plot", but those financial products that he had never intervened in and had nothing to do with cotton could still be invested.

Just don't be greedy.

You can use some small money to play a little money, and if you invest your whole family property in it, you will have a financial butterfly change that hurts the egg, and it hurts.

So what's the best way to play?

Abel lit a cigarette and searched through the transaction information provided by Goldman Sachs while searching his mind for the financial records provided by the wrecking ball.

At last.

He is ready to play a hand in Forex.

Since the 60s of the last century, the foreign exchange market has gradually become very mature, and now it is a mature super-large speculative market, and in the future, the daily trading volume will even reach trillions of dollars.

Now it's not so exaggerated.

However, the number of funds in the foreign exchange market is also at the level of trillions of dollars.

After receiving the foreign exchange changes in 1990, the most obvious thing should be that God manipulated and killed his own government's dollar.

So to speak.

Originally, the Plaza Accord only forced a government to slowly bleed, and the blood released was fed back to European and American countries in order to boost their economies.

But I don't know if the government is playing with it, or if it wants to do something out of the way. Originally, they just bleed, and he simply committed suicide by caesarean section...... Although it successfully broke free from the control of Europe and the United States economically, it was lost for 20 years. Although this is much better than the treatment of the controlled stick economy in the future, no one really knows whether to gain or lose this little bit of economic freedom by slashing oneself fiercely.

Abel eyed a copy of the US dollar.

Because the little wrecking ball told him that this whole year will be a year when the economy has gone from glory to complete decline. This year will also be a year of sharp changes in the exchange rate of the Chinese dollar.

He closed his eyes.

In the expectant eyes of John Smith, who was waiting next to him, he suddenly opened his eyes and said quietly:

"Mr. Smith, if I'm going to invest $50 million in foreign exchange, how much leverage can Goldman Sachs give me?"

"Forehead ......"

John Smith was stunned for a moment, made a quick calculation in his heart, and immediately replied: "This time it is 30 times! Foreign exchange is different from futures, and the amount of foreign exchange margin will be much lower than that of futures margin." We can give you $1.5 billion in operating credits, but if you go to Mr. Hamilton again, you might get a higher limit...... I'm sorry, I can only give you so little, I'm sorry ......"

"Nope. Enough is enough. Abel interrupted him with a smile, $1.5 billion was enough, he just wanted to have a little fun, and he didn't want another butterfly movement in the financial market, "That's it! Smith, take your hands and do me a favor." ”

"Speak. ”

"I want to make a trade, forex trading. ”

"Okay. It's my job. ”

“……”

At the moment when there is no computer disk, there is no Internet disk. Forex trading, like futures trading, and stock trading, can only be done by fax and telephone, and the price can only be written down in a small notebook or blackboard.

It's very complicated.

It's so complicated that Abel, a person who is used to computers, can't play finance at this time if he doesn't have a professional manager and an intermediary introduction, even if he has asked for help, the speed is definitely not fast.

He instructed Smith to buy a dollar at the price he wanted.

And set a selling price, and the next job was for John Smith to help Abel manually operate this foreign exchange investment with the help of other Goldman Sachs employees.

Abel himself.

It's very easy to be in the VIP lounge, quietly watching the numbers changing on the red and green screen outside the glass.

Suddenly.

Abel frowned and said, "One yuan has really risen." ”

He bought it right.

The information recorded by the small wrecking ball has not been affected by the butterfly changes in the financial sector.

The value of a dollar has appreciated.

There are several reasons for the appreciation, and one of the most important is the one that Abel had in mind just now, a divine operation of the government.

And several other reasons for their appreciation, I have to say that the United States has made a lot of efforts.

Because just now, at eleven o'clock, the United States released an economic data, which is the monthly rate of the American Existing Home Sales Index released by the National Association of Realtors.

Previous:0.3%

Exploring: 1%

Published value: 2.1.%

The existing home sales index refers to the index index obtained by weighting the data of completed or second-hand home sales of contracted existing houses, which is a leading indicator of a country's future housing sales activities, and can provide more reliable information on the direction of changes in the housing market than any existing index.

To put it simply.

It is a change in the real estate aspect of a country.

This figure is released about a week later than the existing home sales figure, but it is more forward-looking as it takes weeks after signing a contract to be included in existing home sales. The index rose, suggesting that the U.S. housing market is improving.

Why is there a sudden improvement?

Because of the divine operation of the government at the beginning of this year, the value of the dollar has risen sharply, and the purchasing power has become strong, and they have begun to buy and buy like crazy, and many people have come to the United States to buy houses here.

This data can be used as a leading indicator of the health of the U.S. economy, as home sales will have a broad ripple effect. For example, renovating a house, taking out a mortgage from a financing bank, and executing a transaction can bring income to the intermediary company.

Then another piece of economic data came out from the United States, the Business Activity Index of the Rus Fed of the United States

Prior:4.1%

Explied: 4.6%

Declared value: 6.1%

A higher-than-expected value indicates that the sector is expanding, and vice versa, it means a recession. Sub-data include: capacity utilization, new orders, raw material prices paid, shipments, manufactured goods prices, employment index. The region's exports of manufactured goods are mainly concentrated in energy production and electronics. The region's manufacturing exports account for a large share of the country's manufacturing exports. The manufacturing industry is the leading industry of the United States economy, which can reflect the trend of the United States economy to a certain extent.

This data is once again far beyond expectations, and it is a good data for Lao Mei, which means that the stock market will rise again, and the GDP will also rise by a few 0.1 percentage points.

If Abel understands the real foreign exchange capital, he will definitely use a large amount of money to short, and he can clearly see that trillions of dollars of funds in the entire foreign exchange market are fighting, and countless capital is anxious and desperate.

If you look farther, you will find that countless capital consortia are shorting a dollar, and a single list of billions or even tens of billions of dollars is smashed, and all the capital consortia are eyeing each other, wanting to make a lot of money on the world's second largest economy.

They smashed like crazy.

It's like a crazy atmosphere of crazy consumption in the country now, because of the divine operation of their government.
