Trading Floor, the forex, equity and commodities blog written and run by Saxo Bank’s strategy team, is now adding regular video comments throughout the European trading session.
The comments on macroeconomic indicators, financial issues and earnings releases will complement the Daily Trading Stance video released every morning and the weekly forex options and equity update released every Friday.
Videos are recorded in the studio on the Saxo Bank trading floor, minutes after the news is released. Saxo Bank's chief economist, David Karsbol, said: "The advantage of video is that it fills in the gap between reporting the headlines and the more detailed research notes we publish.
He added: "We comment on macroeconomic indicators or earnings or central bank decisions in a way that is fast, but also allows us to give more detail in a way that allows our blog visitors to get to know us a little better."
Trading Floor has been running since May 2009 and features expert commentary starting every morning with The Daily Trading Stance that Saxo Bank’s strategists distribute to clients giving a rundown of the main themes of the day in FX, equities, FX options and commodities.
The
commentary is prepared by David Karsbøl, Equity Strategist Christian
Tegllund Blaabjerg and forex expert John Hardy. Commodities expertise is provided
by Ole S Hansen and Alan Plaughmann. Also commenting are Market Strategist Mads
Koefoed and
Research Analyst Robin Bagger-Sjöbäck.
The Daily Trading Stance, daily commentaries and Weekly Forex and Equities Update are available on the Trading Floor web site and on Trading Floor’s dedicated YouTube channel.
