China: mixed data

China will present a lot of statistics. It is already known that the GDP for the second quarter has surpassed the value for the first quarter and reached 6.4% against 4.5%. However, the indicator fell short of analysts' forecasts. For risky assets, this is a moderate signal.
EUR: strong position

The Eurozone is to release the consumer confidence index for July and final data on inflation for June. In addition, President of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde will deliver a speech; any signals in favour of the regulators tight monetary policy will provide support for EUR.
USD: weak position

The US is to publish industrial production statistics for June; the indicators could have stabilised following the previous decline. The retail sales report for June will give insight into real consumer spending. The USD exchange rate will be in a weak position until the market shifts its focus from the Feds policy to other factors.
CAD: a chance for strengthening

Canada is preparing to release data on inflation, producer prices and retail sales. The CAD rate might resume strengthening after a pause for consolidation.
GBP: ready to rise

The UK will provide a lot of statistics from producer price indices for June to inflation data. The consumer price index is expected to fall from 8.7% to 8.2% y/y in June. However, core prices remain persistently high, which gives the Bank of England the opportunity to further raise the interest rate. This is good news for GBP.

Newspaper after newspaper, social media platforms after social media platforms, we often come across the term forex trading scam. It’s taking a vicious shape. Unknown profiles constantly jam your phones or social media accounts with luring messages of guaranteed and astonishing returns that you may not have heard of before. So, what many do? They click on the link and get into a dreamy, yet fake world that somehow appears much later. More so, in many cases, after the scam. The case of XPO.ru last year, where users were told to click on a link to start forex trading, led to the siphoning of as much as INR 3,100 crore, leaving affected investors and the authorities puzzling over the incident. While the XPO scam was a massive incident, there has not been a shortage of these incidents. The Internet is flooded with stories concerning forex scams of this nature. In this article, we take a close look at several such scams.

Some broker comparisons end with a confident "go with this one." This is not one of them — and that honesty is exactly what makes it worth reading. Wundersys and tradgrip are two young, offshore-registered brokers that keep popping up in front of beginner traders, often through aggressive online marketing. Both promise the usual buffet: tight spreads, generous leverage, multiple account tiers. And both, according to WikiFX, sit near the very bottom of the safety scale. So instead of crowning a champion, this comparison is really about something more useful: learning to read the warning signs, understanding the small differences that still matter, and knowing why "the better of two risky options" is still a conversation about risk.

If you trade forex from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, or Nepal, you already know the quiet truth that eats into every trader's results: it is not just the market that decides whether you profit — it is the cost of getting in and out of each trade. Shave a couple of dollars off your commission on every lot, multiply it across hundreds of trades a year, and you are looking at the difference between a strategy that works and one that bleeds out slowly. South Asian traders are some of the most cost-conscious in the world, and rightly so. So we pulled the data on the brokers most often recommended for the region, cross-checked every name on WikiFX, and ranked them by the one number that matters most here: what they actually charge you to trade. Before the list, one quick lesson that will make this whole ranking click.
