After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 36: The Real Billionaire

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Federal Reserve announced a rate cut.

Starting from June 6, the deposit interest rate of banks across the United States has been reduced from 15% to 3.35%, a decrease of 3.05%.

There are four major currencies in the world today, namely the US dollar, the euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen.

The U.S. dollar accounts for 48.25%, which is more than the other three major currencies combined, and is an indispensable foreign exchange reserve for all countries.

From the country to the individual, as long as they have the ability, they want to reserve more US dollars for emergencies.

This gave rise to the dollar hegemony. In simple terms, the final right to interpret the dollar belongs to the Federal Reserve.

Any action taken by the Federal Reserve, whether it is lowering interest rates, raising interest rates, or issuing more currency, can shake the international financial market.

The interest rate cut announced today is essentially aimed at stimulating market consumption and preventing people from keeping all their money in banks.

Spend a little more and get the money flowing.

However, human intervention in the market

There are advantages and disadvantages.

Inevitably, this will lead to inflation.

In the past five years, the Federal Reserve has announced five interest rate cuts and two interest rate hikes. Every time the interest rate was cut, the price of gold rose sharply, and vice versa.

Because gold is the best tool to protect against inflation and is also the savings pool for all big funds.

Before you decide which industry to invest your money in, it’s always a good idea to buy some gold. You may not make any money, but you will definitely not lose money.

Lu Liang understood the reason for the sharp rise in gold prices, so he crossed his legs and watched the assets in his account rise steadily.

London gold rose by $1 per ounce.

An additional profit of $15.4 is shown in the upper right corner of the account.

11:30 pm,

The total revenue came to US$773.97.

In the past hour and a half, London gold has made a strong attack, rising by 52 points and is now priced at US$1514.55.

Distance sound predicted price,
Only 2 points left to go.

Lu Liang decisively began to liquidate his positions, selling all 1540 contracts he held, turning the account's floating profit into actual income.

His principal was 862 million, of which 562 million was margin and 300 million was operating capital, using a -fold leverage.

After deducting 3.5% leverage fee,

The total assets in the account reached 1625.47 million US dollars.

The market changes rapidly, leaving Lu Liang no time to celebrate becoming a billionaire.

At the moment he sold, London gold rose again by 2 points and the market sentiment was extremely hot.

Lu Liang acted almost instinctively, switching from long to short, reinvesting 500 million yuan to build a position, and once again using a x leverage.

The $3250 million was earned through short selling, and a total of 4.92 contracts were obtained, with a total value of $ million.

Afterwards, Lu Liang sold off 1516.7500 contracts obtained from short selling at the price of 3250.

With all the contracts sold, the dedicated funds in the account became 4.9985 million, and the current loss is 10.5 US dollars.

Short selling is similar to long selling, both of which make money from the price difference.

Going long means buying at a low price and selling at a high price, which is not difficult to understand.

Short selling is relatively complicated. Through the method of securities lending, you can get chips in advance, sell them at a high price, and then buy them back at the lowest price.

Soon, Lu Liang established a short position with a cost price of US$1516.7500.

A total of 3250 contracts were sold.
A 1 point increase or decrease means a profit or loss of $32.5.

The margin account has 1125.47 million US dollars, and once the loss exceeds 70%, it will trigger forced liquidation.

The maximum acceptable increase is 24 points.

“This wave of market is almost coming to an end.”

Lu Liang stared at the screen intently.

During this period, whether investing in stocks or London gold, he was confident and calm.

Because he knows that as long as the odds are big enough and his influence is small enough, the outcome is already determined.

But this time, when he was shorting London gold, everything depended on his own understanding of the market and his judgment of the market conditions.

Because the sound only indicates the highest position, and does not indicate how much it will callback later.

At this moment, Lu Liang's concentration was unprecedentedly high.

He could have stayed in his comfort zone, but he wanted to test what he had learned in recent months.

Time passes by second by second.
The price of gold in London is still rising slowly.

At $1517.25,

It seemed like I had hit a bottleneck and hesitated for a long time.

This price was also the highest price predicted for today. Lu Liang was so focused that his heart almost stopped beating.

He stared at the number until it jumped to $1517.88.

"Sure enough, it has changed again."

Lu Liang whispered to himself that he, the butterfly, had once again changed the final outcome.

In time, when his strength can influence the market, the foresight of his predictions may no longer exist.

Half an hour later, the price of gold in London was still rising, but the increase was a bit weak, and it seemed that the impact of the Fed's interest rate cut was coming to an end.

At one o'clock in the morning, the market conditions of London gold took a sharp turn for the worse and the upward momentum was suddenly curbed.

It instantly pulled back 14 points and is still continuing to fall.

“This doesn’t look like a pullback at all.”

Lu Liang frowned. In the past, market prices always adjusted slowly. There was no such sudden plunge.

He searched for the reason for the plunge in information forums and finally found the specific reason in the gold price fluctuations released by Goldman Sachs.

“OPEC announced an increase in production next quarter?”

Lu Liang suddenly realized why the price of gold suddenly plummeted.

The full name of OPEC is the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, abbreviated as "OPEC", and most of the wealthy people in the Middle East are member countries.

They announced an increase in crude oil production, which means lower oil prices and economic prosperity, so the price of gold will naturally be affected.

As the saying goes, antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times. During periods of economic prosperity, the price of gold will drop sharply.

"It will only reduce enthusiasm in the gold market, but it should not offset the impact of the Fed's rate cut."

Lu Liang pondered for a moment and made a judgment that the impact of the Fed's interest rate cut takes precedence over the increase in crude oil production.

After all, they are father and son. No matter how loudly the son speaks, he cannot cover up the father's majesty.

Although oil prices are controlled by OPEC, the Americans are still behind the scenes.

This is also the reason why there has been no peace in the Middle East for so many years.

"If you don't run now, it might be too late."

Lu Liang no longer hesitated and chose to trust his own judgment. He responded quickly and repurchased a large amount of London gold.

Just after 3250 a.m., he bought back contracts for a total of $ million.

Sell ​​at $1516.17 and buy at $1500, making a net profit of $1675 per lot.

In just less than half an hour, Lu Liang's short-selling profits reached 544.37 million US dollars.

After deducting the handling fee, there is still 533.87 million.
The total funds also reached 2159.34 million US dollars.

"I smiled triumphantly~smiled triumphantly~"

Lu Liang raised the corners of his mouth and hummed a cheerful little tune.

It's not just because his assets have exceeded 2000 million US dollars, making him a real billionaire.

It was also because of his correct judgment that he successfully cashed out at the highest price and fled with the funds smoothly.

Just after he liquidated his positions, the market quickly realized that the impact of the Fed’s interest rate cut was greater than the increase in crude oil production.

London gold rose by 6 points in an instant. Countless short-selling speculators failed to react in time and their positions were directly wiped out.

Lu Liang was in a very good mood. Although he built his position based on the information he got from the news, he liquidated his position based on his own judgment.

He is gradually becoming a qualified speculator.

"One moment of a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

Lu Liang put away the materials, walked out of the study, came to Li Manli's door, stood at the door and listened. There was still movement inside.

He tried again and found the door was not locked, so he opened it a crack and quietly entered the room.

I saw Li Manli lying on the bed, watching anime. She seemed to have just taken a shower and her hair was still a little wet.

She was wearing a pair of pink leggings, her beautiful white legs swayed up and down, and her tight and raised buttocks revealed a beautiful curve.

Lu Liang suddenly pounced on his prey like a tiger. Li Manli exclaimed, and then asked in surprise: "Brother Liang, are you done?"

"I'm done for now." Through the loose neckline, Lu Liang saw a spring scene, and the red beans were particularly attractive.

"Wait a moment." Li Manli giggled, pushed Lu Liang away, and ran excitedly to the changing room.

Ten minutes later, she changed into a purple cheongsam, the empress's cosplay costume: "How is it?"

"It's just average." Lu Liang was very straightforward. Li Manli's cleavage wasn't grand enough, and she wasn't tall enough to wear a purple cheongsam. She looked like a child pretending to be an adult.

"I'm angry." Li Manli pouted and ran to the dressing room, changing into a blue and white JK with transparent white stockings.

She asked proudly, "What now?"

"I've been using the computer too much lately, and my eyes are a little blurry. Come closer so I can take a closer look."

Lu Liang's lips curled up slightly until Li Manli came closer and responded with practical actions.
