Russian rouble falls to record lows after ratings downgrades

The Russian rouble slid further on Thursday, hitting record lows against the dollar and euro, after ratings agencies Fitch and Moody's (NYSE:MCO) downgraded Russia's sovereign debt to "junk" status citing the impact of Western sanctions.

At 0830 GMT, the rouble was more than 10% weaker against the dollar at 117.5 and had lost over 7% against the euro to trade at 124.1 on the Moscow Exchange, marking the first time the rouble has traded above 110 to the dollar in Moscow.

The Russian central bank imposed a 30% commission on foreign currency purchases by individuals on currency exchanges - a move brokers said appeared designed to curb demand for dollars - but that did little to halt the rouble's slide.

Russia's financial markets have been thrown into turmoil by sanctions imposed over its invasion of Ukraine, the biggest attack on a European state since World War Two.

Russia calls its actions in Ukraine a "special operation" that it says is not designed to occupy territory but to destroy its southern neighbour's military capabilities and capture what it regards as dangerous nationalists.

Since Russian troops entered Ukraine on Feb. 24 the rouble is down close to 30% against the dollar, and analysts said on Thursday it would probably remain highly volatile. The government has ordered Russian exporters to convert 80% of their forex revenues into roubles to support the local currency, but people are still queuing up at banks to buy dollars as the rouble slumps.

Trading on the Moscow Exchange's stock section remained largely closed on Thursday, a fourth day of restrictions ordered by the central bank.

Overnight, Fitch said that U.S. and European Union sanctions prohibiting any transactions with the Bank of Russia would have a "much larger impact on Russia's credit fundamentals than any previous sanctions". Moody's said the severity of the sanctions "have gone beyond Moody's initial expectations and will have material credit implications".

S&P lowered Russia's rating to sub-investment grade last week.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions imposed in response have led to dire warnings about the Russian economy, with the Institute of International Finance predicting a double-digit contraction in growth this year.

On Wednesday, index providers FTSE Russell and MSCI said they would remove Russian equities from all their indexes, after a top MSCI executive earlier this week called Russia's stock market "uninvestable".

Comment on Gold on February 28, 2022:

 Last week, we saw very strong fluctuations, Gold price bounced up quickly to 1974 and then fell sharply to 1877, closing the session with a bearish candle around 1889. At the beginning of the session.  this morning's trading World gold opened the first session of the week with about GAP increasing to nearly 1930 at the opening session and then decreasing after that.  With the Russian military campaign in Ukraine along with the tension of the US and its allies, it is very difficult at this time for Gold to fall deeply, so in my opinion, the possibility of Gold will continue to gain momentum.  get a raise.

Malaysia Stock Market Likely To Remain Rangebound

Ahead of Friday's special holiday, the Malaysia stock market had moved higher in two of three trading days since the end of the five-day losing streak in which it had slumped more than 15 points or 1 percent. The Kuala Lumpur Composite Index now rests just above the 1,500-point plateau although it's expected to head south again on Monday.

Bitcoin Playing Catch Up to New Highs

 Bitcoin looks poised to extend recent gains, as prices burst above Descending Triangle resistance and the psychologically imposing 35,000 marks. With the RSI eyeing a push above 60, and a bullish crossover taking place on the MACD indicator, the path of least resistance seems skewed to the topside.

Clearing the January 29 high (38711) would probably intensify near-term buying pressure and carve a path for the price to challenge the yearly high (41969). Breaking that is needed to signal the resumption of the primary uptrend and pave the way for the popular cryptocurrency to fulfill the Descending Triangle’s implied measured move (47699).

Alternatively, failing to breach the 38700 marks could trigger a pullback to former resistance-turned-support at the January 2 high (33292).

The IG Client Sentiment Report shows 83.58% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 5.09 to 1. The number of traders net-long is 2.05% lower than yesterday and 9.82% lower from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 1.30% higher than yesterday and 9.11% lower from last week.

We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests Bitcoin prices may continue to fall.

Yet traders are less net-long than yesterday and compared with last week. Recent changes in sentiment warn that the current Bitcoin price trend may soon reverse higher despite the fact traders remain net-long.

How to Short Sell a Stock When Trading Falling Markets

Shorting a stock includes selling a borrowed stock within the anticipation of shopping for an equivalent stock back at a lower future price and pocketing the difference. a short sale may be a normal part of a lively trader’s plan because it presents traders with the power to profit from an advancing market and a declining one. this text makes use of examples to elucidate what short sale is, why it's important and lists the highest things to think about when short sale stocks.

WHAT IS short sale AND WHY DO IT?

Short selling is that the process of borrowing shares via a broker, selling those shares at the present market value , and later buying the shares back at a lower cost so as to return the shares to the broker.

Why short stocks? the solution to the present question is multi-layered but generally, shorting stocks presents a chance to trade a decline during a share’s price.
To some, a short sale seems rather unethical because you're essentially taking a stance that a company’s share price will fall, which could end in large scale retrenchments affecting many households within the process. To others, this represents a chance to take a position on over-valued stocks or to profit from the largescale selling of unscrupulous companies.

Nowadays, additionally to retail traders, there are well-established hedge funds that specialize in short sale , or ‘shorting’ various companies. Some short sellers publish research on companies that are imagined to have reported misleading figures within the publication of monetary statements or where there's sufficient evidence of corrupt business practices.
Before diving into the planet of short sale , we recommend you review the stock exchange basics.

WHAT DOES SHORTING A STOCK INVOLVE?

At this stage, it's going to be helpful to differentiate between short sale stocks within the underlying market (non-leveraged) and shorting (selling or taking a brief position) via a broker offering leverage.
The traditional approach has been begun above, where the short seller borrows shares from a broker, sells the shares, and later buys the shares back at a reduction to return to the broker.
However, the emergence of leverage trading has simplified this process to the purpose where shorting a stock is just a matter of clicking the ‘sell’ button for the specified stock on a web platform.

HOW TO SHORT SELL A STOCK

The following steps are often followed when shorting a stock:
Select the specified market
Confirm a down-trending market
Predetermine stop losses and limits (risk-to-reward ratio)
Enter the short trade
The trade is complete once the stop or limit is hit
Traders can make use of the 200-day moving average or use trend lines to gauge whether the stock is during a trending environment.
The short-selling process is often made clearer by using actual figures within the sort of a practical example.

SHORT SELLING EXAMPLE

Let’s say a short-seller wishes to sell 10 shares of Apple Inc as he believes the share price goes to drop by the near future. If the worth of Apple is $200 and therefore the margin requirement is 50%, meaning the trader would effectively be controlling $2000 ($200 x 10 shares) worth of Apple shares while only putting up $1000 ($2000 x 0.5) as margin.

The short seller sets the target at a price of $170 and a stop at $210 to determine a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio. If price hits the target, the short seller could gain near $300 ($30 x 10 shares), minus any financing fees and commissions.
Nominal trade value = $2000
Margin = 50% ($1000)
Gain after taking profit = $300 ($30 x 10 shares)
Potential loss: $100 ($10 x 10 shares)

This example also presents the perfect scenario but financial markets are often unpredictable and don't move as reliably as presented here. it's for this reason that traders should adopt sound risk management practices from the outset.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS WHEN short sale STOCKS?

When learning the way to short sell stocks it's crucial to stay subsequent in mind:

Potential for unlimited losses -Short positions without stops, theoretically have the potential for unlimited losses. there's no limit to the worth of a share can rise to which further underscores the importance of stops.
Short squeeze –A short squeeze occurs when short traders witness an increase in price (contrary to what was expected) resulting in losses that eventually force traders to shop for (to close the trade) at a better price and take a loss. Price gains more upward momentum as more short sellers buy to shut their positions.
