Greg Crisp, Charlotte NC

Ashraf Laidi will will present on Intermarket Analysis and demonstrate the integration of equity indices and risk appetite into FX markets, as well as give his take on FX in light of current policy positioning by the major central banks. Ashraf Laidi's market analysis extends to the study of major equity indices, gold and oil, shedding light on the appropriate signals emerging from these markets and their implications for currencies. His specialty in synthesizing commodities, with risk appetite, market sentiment and Fed policy has won him numerous plaudits. His currency predictions placed him at the top of the 12 and 1-month ranking of FX Weeks currency forecasts and at the top of Reuters monthly Foreign Exchange Poll. Laidi regularly appears on CNBC TV (US, Europe, Arabia and Asia/Pacific), Bloomberg TV (US, Asia/Pacific, France and Spain), BNN, PBS's Nightly Business Report, and BBC. 

Ashraf Laidi is the chief market strategist at CMC Markets, author of "Currency Trading & Intermarket Analysis" and founder of AshrafLaidi.com. At CMC Markets, Laidi oversees the analysis and forecasting functions of G-10 currency pairs as well as decisions and trends of the major global central banks.

Ashraf Laidi is also responsible for education services and informing clients on the essential dynamics underpinning FX markets. His FX analysis has received world-wide wide acclaim for more than a decade, centring on G10 currencies and economies. His currency forecasts frequently placed Number 1 in FXWeek's Currency Forecasting since 2006.

Prior to joining CMC, Laidi monitored the performance of a multi-FX portfolio at the United Nations, assessed sovereign and project investment risk with Hagler Bailly and the World Bank, and analysed emerging market bonds at Reuters. Laidi also created the first 24-hour currency web site for traders and researchers alike on the eve of the creation of the euro.

Laidi's analysis of currency markets stand out based on his distinct style in bridging the fundamental and technical aspects of the markets.

Laidi's expertise in dissecting Federal Reserve policy, unravelling the cyclical relationships between yield curves, economic indicators and equity market performance has enabled him to predict the Federal Reserve cuts of summer 2007, four months prior to their occurrence at a time when the majority of economists, strategists and traders had anticipated interest rates to be hiked or not changed. He went on to call the record highs in gold and the dollar's break below parity against the Swiss Franc and the Canadian dollar. In June-July 2008, Ashraf persistently predicted the Federal Reserve would continue its rate cuts at a time when Fed funds futures were pricing 95% chance of rate hikes in fall 2008.

His insights also appear in the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, Barrons, the New York Times, Marketwatch, TheStreet.com, Futures, and a host of other international publications. Besides his habitual media appearances and seminars in English, Laidi has given numerous interviews in Arabic, French, and Spanish to audiences spanning from Canada, Central America and Asia/Pacific.
