2008-07-04 19:13:33 - World First, one of the UK's leading foreign exchange brokers is launching The Xchange, a currency research blog where readers can get up to date information on the currency markets.

Regular postings to the The Xchange include daily market updates and a weekly updates for sterling and the Australian and New Zealand dollar. In true blog style, readers are invited to comment on the content and the expectation is that the blog will generate ongoing dialogue concerning the foreign currency markets.

Jeremy Cook, chief economist and author of the weekly and

daily updates says, 'We have been sending out the updates by email for almost three years now and have always had readers responding with questions. Setting up the blog seemed the obvious next step so our readers can share opinions on what they think will happen in the market, what they think is reflected in the major crosses and where they expect the market to go next. Giving readers the opportunity to contribute to the site will only add to its richness, as a source of information.'
