Mid-Year Market Update: Steady Growth Amid Quiet Trading

Posted on 04.07.2025 · [Reading Time: 2 min]

A Slow Week, But Good First Half

This week’s trading has been subdued due to July 4th holiday-thinned liquidity, but our strategy continues to deliver consistent growth. While short-term pauses are normal, our year-to-date performance remains a highlight:

✅ +13.87% capital growth (first six months of 2024)
✅ Outpacing the S&P 500 over the same period

This demonstrates the effectiveness of our risk-managed, counter-trend approach—even in quieter markets.


Current Positions & Strategy

1. USDSGD: Waiting for the Break

  • We maintain our long positions in this oversold market.
  • A sustained move above 1.2800 could trigger short-covering and accelerate gains.

2. AUDCHF: Slow but Steady

  • This pair continues to test patience, but our positive swap income keeps adding incremental gains.
  • Upside potential remains toward 0.5800, which would place all positions in profit.

What’s Next?

With US traders returning after the holiday, we expect:

  • Improved liquidity and potential volatility shifts.
  • Renewed opportunities to capitalize on our strategic entries.

Our focus remains on capital preservation while positioning for the next leg of growth in H2 2024.


Important Reminder: Minimum Deposit Change

Starting July 1st, the minimum account balance for new clients increases to €10,000. This aligns with our commitment to serious, long-term trading partnerships.


Enjoy the rest of your week, and stay tuned for updates!
