“Currency Wars, Volatility & The Changing Face Of The Currency Markets”

September 15, 2015

• After a brief respite, it looks as if politicians are becoming increasingly sensitive to the impact of currency strength on their economies. Are we back in a race to the bottom?
• Volatility has returned to the FX markets in the past twelve months. Is this a structural shift?
• Eurozone: same crisis, different year?

Keynote address will be given by Simon Derrick followed by a Networking Reception.
