EXNESS supports a project to save the polar bear in the Arctic In cooperation with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Russia, EXNESS is supporting the "Save the Polar Bear" project in Republic Yakutia (Russia). The campaign is set to start in March 2015. As part of the project EXNESS will allocate funds to support patrols of the Bear Islands (Medvezhyi Islands), which are home to up to 15 ancestral bear dens, and will finance the purchase of field equipment for inspectors (GPS units, binoculars, uniforms, cameras) and fuel for the snowmobiles. In the middle of March female bears with cubs leave the dens, so it is an especially important time to protect them. Experts estimate that no more than 25,000 polar bears remain in the world and their number shrinks with each passing year. Large-scale poaching and climate change are to blame. Due to the melting of Arctic sea ice, the polar bear is losing its natural habitat. The bears live on ice floes and hunt for seals - their main source of food - on them.

Analytics In the short term, the euro may fall to the 1.03 level On March 18, we expect the US Federal Reserve to reject the "show patience" phrase when planning to preserve the federal funds rate at a low level. The US regulator is most likely to increase it to 0.5% on June 17, 2015. In the next 1-1.5 years, the US dollar will certainly continue to be one of the strongest currencies in the world, which is also due to the weakness of the euro and the currencies of developing countries. The employment growth in the US (which exceeds 200 thousand people per month), in the long term will increase the GDP growth rate from the current 2.4% to 3% per annum. Growth of aggregate demand in the United States will in turn accelerate the inflation in the country to 1.5% -2.0% in the medium term. This week, we expect a reduction in the EUR/USD pair to the 1.03 level, in the GBP/USD pair- to the 1.46 level, and an update in the USD/JPY pair's high to around the 122 level this year. On March 19, attention should be paid to the Swiss National Bank meeting. Against the background of the EUR/CHF pair falling in March, the national regulator can reduce the key interest rate to minus 1%, which will bring about a growth in the USD / CHF pair above the 1.0240 level.

EXNESS takes the lead with the release of audited funds and trading volumes EXNESS has today called on the retail Forex industry to become more transparent regarding broker funds and trading volumes, so that traders can assess the financial strength of brokers and their ability to withstand market shocks. George Tsaparillas, Director of Global Strategy and Business Development of EXNESS, comments: “This year has already been a testing time for retail Forex brokers, with many suffering losses on the back of January’s volatility in the Swiss Franc. At present, the industry is far too opaque, with traders often having no visibility of the financial performance of their broker. We believe traders deserve more transparency and that is why we are today releasing audited figures for our funds and trading volumes.” EXNESS has today released its trading volumes, client withdrawals and agents’ commissions for the period 1 October to 31 December 2014, in addition to figures for EXNESS’ own funds on 20 January 2015. All figures are audited by Deloitte, one of the world’s leading auditing firms. EXNESS’ trading volumes for the period were US$536 billion, with average monthly trading volumes of US$178 billion, 7% higher than the average trading volumes for the previous months in 2014. Total client withdrawals during the period October to December 2015 were US$42 million, averaging US$14 million being withdrawn by EXNESS clients each month. Commissions paid to clients for introducing new traders to EXNESS totalled US$6.8 million over the three month period. On 20 January 2015, EXNESS’ total funds stood at US$66 million, of which US$51 million was EXNESS’ own funds. These figures were audited after compensation was paid to clients for negative client account balances as a result of the fall in the Swiss Franc earlier in January. George Tsaparillas comments: “With the release of these audited figures, EXNESS is one of the most transparent retail Forex brokers in the industry. Our trading volumes remained high in the final quarter of last year and, with a substantial level of own funds relative to our trading volumes, traders have a visible measure of the financial strength of the company.” Learn more about the report on EXNESS website.

This week, the dollar may fall to 117.2 yen The US Federal Reserve meeting will be this week's key event. On Wednesday, the US regulator will announce the economic forecasts for inflation and GDP growth in the US over the next 2 years. The November decline in the producer price index from 1.7% (y/y) to 1.1% (y/y) in the United States signaled a weakening of inflationary pressures in the world's largest economy. The cold winter in the United States in Q1 2015 can play a mean joke on the US GDP as it did in Q1 2014. The US Central bank is unlikely to take risks and will raise the key rate at the end of Q2 2015 rather that at the beginning. On Monday, December 15, the preliminary results of the parliamentary elections in Japan will be announced. It is expected that the Liberal Democratic Party, led by current Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will get a comfortable majority. In this case, the implementation of an ultra soft monetary policy in Japan is likely to continue. With the USDJPY pair lowering to the 117.20 support level, opening long positions in the US dollar is worth considering. In the first half of this week, market participants will learn the latest data on inflation and unemployment in the UK. The expected reduction in both indicators will cause headache for the Bank of England again. According to the forecasts of the S&P agency in 2015, the UK's GDP growth rate will exceed 3% per year. The British regulator will probably raise the rate next year, but earlier than Q3. 2015. During the week, the pound may test the 1.5800 level.

In the medium term, the euro could test the 1.2600 level This week, the publication of industrial production and consumer price index in the United States will attract investors' attention. We believe the slowdown in the US inflation rate expected in October, will largely be due to a drop in oil prices. On November 17, the USDJPY currency pair will likely to show an increased volatility due to publication of Japan's GDP for Q3 2014. During the week, the dollar may again test the level of 116.8 yen. This week, buyers of the euro will be monitoring the dynamics of Germany ZEW's business sentiment index with agitation, as well as the business activity indicators in the manufacturing sector and the service sector in the euro-zone. By the end of the week, the euro is likely to consolidate above the 1.2600 level. November 18 is worth paying attention to the price statistics of the UK. If in October, the country's consumer price index will exceed 1.2% (y/y), the GBPUSD pair could test the 1.5800 level. On November 20, we will find out the data on the producer price index in New Zealand Q3 2014. The expected increase in inflationary pressures in the country may allow the NZDUSD pair to test the 0.8000 level.

EXNESS announces trading volumes to be audited by Deloitte EXNESS has today announced that its trading volumes will be audited by the world’s largest auditing firm, Deloitte, and that it experienced record trading volumes of US$192,43 billion during September. Since January 2014, EXNESS has been the only retail Forex broker to have its trading volumes audited by an independent auditor and, moving ahead, Deloitte take over auditing the figures on a quarterly basis. Victor Masalov, Director of Product Development at EXNESS, comments: “Trust is a critical factor for traders when choosing a retail Forex broker because traders want the reassurance that they are with a broker who will be a transparent and trusted partner. For the past 9 months, EXNESS has had audited trading figures and our link up with Deloitte, one of the world’s most respected auditing firms, offers our clients greater transparency than any other retail Forex broker.” EXNESS has announced trading volume of US$192,43 billion in September. More than 39,000 EXNESS unique clients traded during the month, with the most popular financial instrument being EUR/USD at US$93,1 billion, accounting for 48% of the total trading volume across all instruments. In second place was GBP/USD at US$44,9 billion, with USD/JPY rounding out the top three at $US24 billion. Download report here. EXNESS has also announced today record trading figures of US$198,78 billion in October. During the month, EXNESS also experienced its highest ever trading volumes in a single day - a record US$11,3 billion on 15th October. Download report here. More than 38,000 EXNESS unique clients traded during the month, with the most popular financial instrument being EUR/USD at US$98,47 billion. Sergey Kochergin, Senior Analyst at EXNESS, comments: “In October we saw a number of significant macroeconomic events that influenced volatility and therefore the attractiveness of specific trades. For example, in the US the minimisation of QE3 led to the formation of a clear growing trend in the US dollar, which traders capitalised on. The increase or resumption of quantitative easing programmes in Japan and the Eurozone certainly led to an increase in trading activity in the Yen and Euro cross rates, with us seeing a near doubling of USD/JPY trades since August.” Risk Warning: Trading leveraged products such as CFDs involves substantial risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors.

EXNESS and WWF have joined forces to restore rare and vanishing animal species As part of projects to protect animals, EXNESS and WWF Russia have joined forces to restore the Persian leopard population in the Caucasus and the Siberian tiger population in central Sikhote-Alin. These special projects, which are being implemented with EXNESS' support, will help preserve and restore these subspecies. Not long ago the Persian leopard was spread quite broadly in the Caucasus and inhabited virtually all of the region's mountainous areas, but due to intensified extermination at the end of the last century its numbers have fallen sharply. It has almost disappeared from Russia. In 2007 WWF Russia advanced an initiative to restore the rare leopard subspecies in the Russian Caucasus. With the participation of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a program was developed to restore (reintroduce) the Persian leopard to the Caucasus. The program is being implemented by the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology in collaboration with the Sochi National Park, the Caucasus Reserve, Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Ecological and Evolution Issues, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and the Moscow Zoo. The restoration of the leopard population is not only a matter of concern for scientists and public agencies, but also people and businesses who want to demonstrate social responsibility. The Siberian tiger has met a similar fate. The ongoing human-induced destruction of habitats and the poaching and illegal sales of tigers, and tiger body parts and derivatives seriously threaten the subspecies' fate. The new five-year program to preserve the tiger population at the Sikhote-Alin Reserve began by reinforcing the technical capabilities, expanding the size of the anti-poaching brigade, and monitoring the state of the Reserve. In 2014 our company also joined the effort to protect and restore the population of rare animals. Thanks to EXNESS' support, WWF plans to continue the restoration of the Persian leopard by creating, in captivity, conditions similar to the natural environment in order to prepare a group of leopards to be released into the wild. In order to develop, animals require not only food and care, but also special structures that imitate the natural landscape and allow the leopards to develop their dexterity and strength. And to observe the leopards after their release into nature, the Fund and EXNESS will purchase special radio collars and equipment to broadcast information about the animals' movements. EXNESS will also support WWF Russia's work to preserve the Siberian tiger. Specifically, the infrastructure at the Sikhote-Alin Reserve will be improved by cleaning paths for employees' movements and building at least four inspection huts on the Reserve. EXNESS believes it is important and proper to support wildlife and thus assist the growth of the environment in which we live. EXNESS is proud to contribute to the restoration of the populations of rare animals and to partner with one of the world's largest independent nature conservation organizations.

Forecast for the week October 13, 2014 - October 17, 2014 Last week, the negative IMF forecasts of future growth of the world economy intensified the folding of the carry trade operations in global financial markets before the expected completion of the QE3 program in the United States in October. This week, attention should be paid to the final assessment of the euro zone's GDP for Q2 2014, as well as to the statistics on inflation and industrial production. After the statement made by the IMF chief Christine Lagarde that the euro zone's economy will slide into a recession with a probability of 40%, doubts about this disappeared. The Ukrainian crisis, being the main reason for the decline of investment growth in the euro zone is likely to continue until the end of this year, which will allow market participants to see new lows for the euro. In the short term, the EURUSD pair will probably retest the support level of 1.2500. The dynamics USDJPY pair will be linked to the statistics on industrial production and retail sales in the United States. Despite the expected growth for these indicators, we can not rule out the dollar's decline to 107 yen as part of its adjustment to the growth. The British currency still looks indefinite in relation to its future trajectory of motion. This week, it can be put into a stupor by the UK's volatile macroeconomic statistics. On the one hand, a decline in the unemployment rate in the country to 6.1% is expected, and on the other hand- there is the September decline in inflation to 1.4%. In the short term, the Brit will, apparently, once again, test the 1.5950 support level before seizing the initiative from its American counterpart. ______________ Risk Warning: Trading leveraged products such as CFDs involves substantial risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors.
