Greg Gibbs is the director and founder of Amplifying Global FX Capital. Greg began his career at the Reserve Bank of Australia in 1989, and in the early 1990s, he was the first economics graduate at the Bank to be assigned to the foreign exchange dealing desk.  In 1996, Greg joined Bankers Trust Australia on the FX sales desk covering Australian and international fund managers. In 1999, he joined Westpac Bank in New York and switched to the research side to become the bank’s first FX strategist based in New York, carving out a role covering major currencies. In 2002, he returned to Australia as senior FX strategist at RBC covering APAC currencies, and in 2006 he moved to ABN AMRO in Sydney, reuniting with many of his colleagues from Bankers Trust that were again part of a thriving full-service investment bank. Greg continued to work on at RBS in Sydney as senior FX strategist after it took over ABN AMRO in 2008.  He moved to Singapore in July 2012 after the bank consolidated its FX business in Asia, and was appointed Head of APAC Markets Strategy for the bank in February 2014.  In early 2015, Greg began to work on establishing his own company, Amplifying Global FX Capital, and launched its website in August 2015 after completing duties at RBS.

Big issues holding down AUD/NZD have flipped

AUD/NZD is still languishing around record lows. Pessimism over the AUD increased as the Australian economy stalled in the second half of last year, the Royal Commission into the financial sector unsettled confidence, the housing market downturn accelerated, political uncertainty peaked into the national election in May, and the RBA scurried to cut rates twice at back-to-back monthly meetings in June and July. Now the regulatory, political and economic trends are moving in favour of the AUD an...

Which currency do you want to hold – gold, crypto or fiat?

It appears central banks have pivoted towards delivering more policy easing to bolster inflation expectations that have plumbed new lows this year. The Fed has the greatest scope to ease policy, and the prospect of deep rate cuts has undermined the USD. However, the Fed is struggling to gain the initiative and appears to be reacting to market pressure and outside criticism rather than setting its own agenda. Gold has broken the range highs over the last six years and may have further to run as...

Will Powell come to the party?

With a small break in the onslaught of bad news on trade barriers and talk of anti-trust investigations, US equities rebound from their recent sharp falls. US yields are also off the deck, but the market is sending out invitations for a rate cut party, and waiting for the Fed to turn-up. Fed Chair gave just enough hint that he might turn up, but he is still reluctant to acknowledge that risks to growth have increased. Lower US yields and hopes of rate cuts have shifted the tone from a strong d...

Bond markets displaying fear, equities clinging to the notion of a Fed...

The US equity market slid into the close on Tuesday to sit on key supports. The market is beginning to acknowledge that trade policy actions to date are significant impediments to US, China and global growth and earnings. The bond market has proven more responsive to risks to growth so far this year. Bond yields have fallen to a low since 2017, the US yield curve remains inverted this year, inflation expectations have fallen to new lows in Europe and Australia, and have fallen in recent weeks...

The global recovery narrative crumbles

The US equity market was running with an optimistic assessment that there is a Trump and Fed put, that a trade deal and Chinese policy stimulus would generate a recovery in the global economy and the US economy was largely immune to a slowdown in activity abroad. However, the tariffs have been increased, trade talks have stalled, and the US has rolled out bans on Chinese tech companies. The evidence grows that there is a structural rift in US-China trade relations. The rebound in Chinese econom...
