Reuters – Volatility spread across stock and foreign exchange markets on Tuesday as investors eyed a Federal Reserve meeting expected to cut interest rates and hint at future unorthodox monetary policies to lift the U.S. economy.

European stocks reversed early losses to put in solid gains after better-than-expected euro zone manufacturing data. The dollar firmed against the euro after earlier hitting a two-month low.

Oil was trading below $45 but was supported by expectations that OPEC will agree its largest supply cut ever later in the week.

The Fed is widely expected to cut interest rates to just 0.5 percent or lower. Futures markets are setting a two-thirds possibility of a 75 basis points cut to 0.25 percent.

West Palm Beach (HedgeCo.net)- Recent news from Reuters shows that there is a booming interest in foreign exchange markets. According to the article, FX traders are seeing an increasing demand from institutional players, pension funds, and corporations. However, searching the internet will reveal few true FX hedge funds.

Tri Global FX, a New York based FX management company, has been managing FX accounts on behalf of customers for several years. The firm’s head trader, Gregory Cotter, was a Chief trader at Societe Generale from 1998 – 2004, and has held similar positions at institutions such as Swiss Volksbank, Banque Indo-Suez, Credit Suisse, First Chicago, and European American Bank.

Recently, Futures Magazine has ranked Mr. Cotter a top trader in 2007. Their managed accounts program, Metro Forex, has been top ranked by Currency Trader magazine and by the Barclay Institutional Report.

Tri Global FX is pleased to announce the launching of a new FOREX hedge fund, Cable Forex Funds. More details about the fund can be obtained by registering at their website, http://cableforexfunds.com/.

There are few true FOREX hedge funds, Cable Forex Funds aims to be a leading fund in the FX market. With an uncertain economy, volatile markets, and a declining dollar, any portfolio should include FX. Even if the US Dollar recovers, it can still have a negative impact on a portfolio as traders have been investing overseas during recent EURO boom. FX is an asset class by itself, in addition to providing additional alpha to any portfolio.
