Increasing participation by hedge funds has already fuelled an explosion in FX volumes. The most recent triennial survey by the Bank for International Settlements estimated daily volumes on the FX market were $1,900bn in April 2004. Analysts expect volumes to have reached $3,000bn by the time the BIS publishes its next survey this year.

great article.

that beta1 sounds really interesting (although a bit weird). so basically we can now trade an index that is based on the carry trade or trend followers performance? what will they think of next!
Relax and be happy.

" The CitiFX Beta1 G10 Index measures the performance of EUR and USD bloc currency pairs."

The S&P index gave about 22% Return last year. Wonder if we can do the same in forex?

To me this makes sense, then again it doesn't. When i look at the beta carry index it is similar to the gbpjpy chart.

well, lets see how it goes.... I'm very interested though
