A Profitable Trade From Australia
The Dynamic Wealth Report
October 13, 2009
Last week the entire global economic system turned on its head. A major
event impacted markets all over the world. Yet, the mainstream press
essentially ignored it.
The event occurred in Australia. It affected currency, commodity, bond,
and stock markets across the globe. No market escaped its impact.
Even your retirement savings and trading accounts felt its reach.
Yet, I’ll bet you didn’t see a single local paper cover it. Only a few
financial publications gave the event much notice. And within a day, it
was quickly forgotten. What am I talking about?
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision to raise interest rates.
Now before you call me crazy, give me two minutes to explain…
I believe this event is one of the most important news items we’ve seen
since the start of the recession. This single event tells me more than a
week’s worth of newspapers or earnings reports. It tells me the recovery
is underway, and it tells me what’s going to happen to the markets.
I’m sure you’re wondering why Australia’s interest rates are so
important.

Where Can You Turn $300 Into $1.3 Million Right Now?
Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a
way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout. And
the timing for this has never been better.
You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that
sends penny stock prices through the roof.
We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time
flat.

Yes, central banks raise and lower interest rates all the time. But this
one move is more important than all the others. Here’s why. We’ve spent
the last two years watching interest rates head lower. Now, the trend is
broken. Rates are clearly at the very bottom of the curve… and this move
signals a change in direction.
Now, I know several smaller countries recently raised interest rates as
well. Those aren’t as important. Australia’s different. They’re a major
trading partner with Asia… especially China. They’re also a major
supplier of commodities.
This rate increase signals to the world that economic growth is accelerating.
Think about it. Australia’s growing because their trading partners are
growing. These trading partners are demanding more and more commodities. For the first time since the US became an economic superpower, we won’t
lead the world out of a recession. The Chinese have taken that lead
role.
It’s already happening.
What’s the impact on other markets?
Let’s start with commodities. Australia’s a major exporter and they’re
struggling to meet demand. Commodity producers are struggling to find
needed employees. This tells me a floor is being established in
commodity prices… so watch for commodity prices to move higher… but
that’s not all.
The currency markets are also moving.
Obviously, a rate increase has a direct impact on the Australian Dollar.
It makes it more attractive to foreign capital… and that means more
investors buying Australian Dollars.
But wait, there’s more.
Once a central bank starts either cutting or increasing rates, they do
it in steps. Gradual moves in rates avoid heavy shocks to the system. Take a look at a chart of interest rate changes from any major central
bank. You rarely see a “one and done” rate change.
That tells me more rate increases are on their way.
The recent rate increase also reduces pressure on other central banks to
keep rates low.
We should see a number of other central banks start increasing interest
rates. Remember, as interest rates rise, bond yields will also need to
rise to stay competitive. As yields increase, bond prices fall. So if
you’re sitting on a ton of bonds, watch them carefully… and start looking
for exit strategies now.
The last piece of information is the most exciting. We should see equity
markets start moving higher as the end of the recession is confirmed and
as growth re-emerges. This is a trend that won’t be limited to
Australia. We’ll see its impact around the world.
What this rate increase by the Reserve Bank of Australia tells me is
simple... Get long commodities, foreign currencies, and stocks. The next
bull-run has already begun!
The IPO market is heating up! According to one source, Initial Public
Offerings (IPOs) jumped by 240% in the third quarter of 2009. Companies
in the last quarter raised more than $5.5 billion in new funding. It’s a
great sign the markets are functioning smoothly.
