Speaker 1: here in our New York studio is Steven Casey, FX
Speaker 1: trader and senior market analyst at Cambridge Global Payments. Cambridge
Speaker 1: is the biggest privately owned corporate provider of foreign exchange
Speaker 1: services in the world, part of the burgeoning non bank market.
Speaker 1: He spent many years in London trading currencies. Now back
Speaker 1: in New York the last few years to work for Cambridge.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, Stephen. Thank you very much for
Speaker 1: having me. So you worked in London, you must still
Speaker 1: have a lot of buddies on FX trading desks over there.
Speaker 1: What are people saying, not only about the vote but
Speaker 1: citizens Londoners? Well, how are they voting? It's funny. I mean,
Speaker 1: like the polls, Um, it's split. I've got some friends
Speaker 1: who think that it's a foregone conclusion. I've got some
Speaker 1: friends who think that it will never happen. So I
Speaker 1: guess the polls kind of match what my inner circle
Speaker 1: um beliefs as well. Concerning the Brexit, we'll have to
Speaker 1: wait and see. Steven. Do you think that investors are
Speaker 1: really prepared if they put in place any policies or
Speaker 1: any strategy that would foretell what would happen to their
Speaker 1: investments if the UK decides to leave? Um? Well, I
Speaker 1: can only speak for our clients. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: the case. I mean, we've done a good job I
Speaker 1: think of preparing our corporate clients over the last few
Speaker 1: weeks and months of this situation as it sort of
Speaker 1: loomed over the markets. We're trying to make sure everyone's
Speaker 1: kind of prepared for the worst but planning for the best. UM.
Speaker 1: I think the volatility that we've seen over the last
Speaker 1: few weeks really speaks to how nervous the market is
Speaker 1: either way on how this will play out. Well. I
Speaker 1: think it's interesting and the reason you point out to
Speaker 1: us in a note you sent over that the building
Speaker 1: of positions currency positions from bulls and bears suggest while
Speaker 1: pound bulls maybe regaining the upper hand, the uncertain nature
Speaker 1: of the vote will pave the way for large and
Speaker 1: ill liquid moves once the votes of intellige I think
Speaker 1: that's really important. Think a lot of people figure if
Speaker 1: they vote to stay forget about Friday, Friday, even like Thursday,
Speaker 1: this could unleash a lot of turmoil in currency markets. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you have to wonder about the time of the year.
Speaker 1: It's the summer. Markets have thinned out a little bit,
Speaker 1: desks are half staffed, So even if without the Brexit,
Speaker 1: we would see a little bit ramp up in volatility.
Speaker 1: So UM, despite what happens on Thursday, we should see
Speaker 1: um a little bit of a follow through into early
Speaker 1: next week. On either side, what is the thinking about
Speaker 1: the strength and weakness of the US dollar. Well, the
Speaker 1: dollars kind of had a funny run, and I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be, um, sort of a choppy trade through
Speaker 1: the summer. You have to remember it's an election year,
Speaker 1: so we've got many different things in play. UM. I
Speaker 1: know that Chairman Yellen will be addressing Congress tomorrow and Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and I expect her to maintain a consistent statement with
Speaker 1: what um the Fed came out with last week. I
Speaker 1: don't think she's gonna try to rock the boat. UM. Sorry, no.
Speaker 1: My My thought process is that over the next few weeks,
Speaker 1: once we do get the Brexit out of the way, UM,
Speaker 1: if we do see market stabilized a little bit, we
Speaker 1: do see oil continue to recover, maybe that should pave
Speaker 1: the way for the Fed to begin to get comfortable
Speaker 1: with maybe a move in September. In that way, we
Speaker 1: could see the dollar catch a bid tone towards the
Speaker 1: end of the cucond point and they want to let
Speaker 1: the dust settle. But what what could she say tomorrow
Speaker 1: that would rock the boat. Jim Buller, president St. Louis Fed,
Speaker 1: rocked the boat a bit on Friday when he revealed
Speaker 1: that he is the forecast for only one rate increase
Speaker 1: now this year, but for the next two years. I
Speaker 1: will Janet Yellen do you think be would you like
Speaker 1: to hear her away on that? What could she say
Speaker 1: or about policy tomorrow that would cause you to buy
Speaker 1: or sell some currencies? Well? I think if she made
Speaker 1: any direct statements to the next meeting in July, if
Speaker 1: she got specific with July or September, I think that
Speaker 1: could cause for some volatility in the short term. UM.
Speaker 1: That's why I think she's going to be more vague
Speaker 1: with her statement. I think she's gonna try to be
Speaker 1: very consistent with with what the committee came out with
Speaker 1: last week and try to avoid locking down UM the
Speaker 1: Fed with anything UM concrete over the next two meetings.
Speaker 1: She's gonna want to leave it open, leave it open.
Speaker 1: What about the Bank of England? You think they're leaving
Speaker 1: it open. You think there's a possibility that Mark Karney,
Speaker 1: the Bank of England, will raise rates before the Federal
Speaker 1: Reserve raises rates. Uh No, I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's all. I like Mark Arney. He did, he did
Speaker 1: an excellent job at the Bank of the Bank of
Speaker 1: Canada and so far he steered the ship in England
Speaker 1: very well. Um, right now, I think it's gonna take
Speaker 1: a little bit of time for um, for for the
Speaker 1: bridge to kind of see how this Brexit either way
Speaker 1: kind of stifts through. And I think in action is
Speaker 1: probably the best action. So you talk you corporate clients.
Speaker 1: What kind of corporate clients do you have, and what
Speaker 1: is there? What is their fear, what is their hope
Speaker 1: in all of this? Well, their fear is their hope
Speaker 1: is probably for a little bit of a non event.
Speaker 1: I mean, most of our clients here in the US
Speaker 1: are buyers of f X, their buyers of Euros, buyers
Speaker 1: of stone, and they're hedging that direction. So um, you know,
Speaker 1: I was just reading the op ed that Muhammad Alarian
Speaker 1: wrote this morning and blew Burg noting that we could
Speaker 1: see a seven seven to ten percent drop in Sterling,
Speaker 1: maybe a three to five percent drop in the euro
Speaker 1: should the brexit go through. I think that's their biggest fear,
Speaker 1: you know, overheaging or maybe putting themselves in a position
Speaker 1: to to miss that move where they're jumping in it
Speaker 1: and one twelve in the euro and then we're resetting
Speaker 1: midweek next week around one oh five in the euro
Speaker 1: and maybe as low as one thirty five in the pound,
Speaker 1: So that's kind of their biggest fear. You don't share
Speaker 1: that fear at the moment right now. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's gonna go through. UM. I didn't think it had
Speaker 1: a great job of going through before what happened last
Speaker 1: week with with Joe Cox. I know that the sentiment
Speaker 1: has kind of shifted to back the remain vote. UM.
Speaker 1: But you know, if you look at these referendums historically,
Speaker 1: you're gonna need to see that the under side with
Speaker 1: about a six or seven percent raise before we see
Speaker 1: the uh, the vocal through. Thank you very much, Stephen
