Overview - Bannockburn World Currency...
Description
| We are excited to announce the launch of the new Bannockburn World Currency Index, an innovative currency index in that it is GDP-weighted and comprises an equal mix of developed and emerging market economies, including the United States. We will provide an overview of the Index, practical uses, and answer any technical questions you may have. Please join us virtually for the launch of this new index. Speakers: • Marc Chandler, Chief Market Strategist, Bannockburn Global Forex • Suzanne Bishopric, Managing Partner, Global Sovereign Advisors • Nivedita Agarwal, Product Manager, Bloomberg The Bannockburn World Currency Index is a basket of one-month forwards, which implies a GDP-weighted one month forward rate. Currency baskets are often trade-weighted and while individual trade-weighted indices are important for policymakers and investors, a GDP-weighted currency basket offers a new global benchmark. The Bannockburn World Currency Index was designed in partnership with Bloomberg, L.P.., who will track and maintain the index and interest rate. It is available on the Bloomberg platform as BWCI {Index} and BWCII {Index}, throughout its worldwide network. |
