Editor’s note:If the last few years are anything to go by then 2024 is set to be another eventful 12 months and what better way to get stuck into the first quarter than with TradeTech FX US here in Miami. As a team, we at The TRADE take pride every year in being the official media sponsor for the TradeTech FX conference, and it’s a delight to continue in that role but this time on the other side of the Atlantic.
The TradeTech FX conferences each year offer those active in this sphere a forum to explore the shifting market backdrop they find themselves trying to navigate. But step away from the panels on stage, and the conference is a hive of networking opportunities for those looking to catch up with old friends, peers and colleagues, as well as create new relationships.
With the US shift to T+1 set for just a few months’ time, the foreign exchange markets are set to undergo one of the biggest overhauls they have ever seen. The global macro-economic turbulence seen in the last few years shows no sign of abating. Against the backdrop of continued divergence in economies globally, traders dealing in these markets are likely set to see another hyperactive year. But it’s not all bad. Many of the events and trends seen in the last few years have become catalysts for change.
The foreign exchange markets are virtually unrecognisable from just a decade ago thanks to innovation and collaboration, with more volumes moving on exchange and new automated and algorithmic solutions coming to market all the time. This magazine touches on all this and more with the latest news and people moves, a cover feature exploring the future of algorithmic trading in non-deliverable forwards (NDFs), thought leadership content and the official conference agenda.
It wouldn’t be a TRADETech FX Daily without a string of exclusive content with buy- and sell-side speakers from this year’s conference and this edition is no exception. Inside you’ll find in depth interviews with individuals from T. Rowe Price, Masa Capital, Banco de Crédito (BCP) and more, covering everything from NDFs innovation, restricted currency trading and custody, to OEMS/platform selection.
We’ve got some exciting US-focused news to share with you so make sure to keep an eye out for The TRADE team on the ground at the event and come and say hello over the next few days. Have a wonderful conference!
