Task#2 Analyze the current market environment and suggest an attractive investment opportunity to your client

US trade tensions between China are correlating to the stock exchange and the overall economy. As tensions increase, currencies between the countries tighten and begin to inverse. When demand for Chinese goods becomes evident, the USD (United States Dollar) purchasing power becomes skewed and exchanging the USD to CNY (Chinese Yuan) would strengthen the value of the CNY while the USD begins to weaken. This concept of supply and demand would also affect the currencies through imports and exports. A stronger exchange rate makes a country's exports more expensive, which can reduce demand for them. So a weaker yuan against the US dollar would generally make Chinese goods exported to the US cheaper, increasing demand, while making US exports to China more expensive, reducing demand. This most obvious trade is to short the dollar against the Yuan.

But based on the current imposing tariffs the US government is imposing a 25 percent tariff on approximately 250 billion on imports in China, the other obvious trades would be to short equities such as NVDA (Nvidia) and CAT (Caterpillar) are companies that are in high demand with low supply and are mainly manufactured in China. In section 301 for the tariff ther united states is imposing a 25%

Task#3 Understand trade execution and the post-trade cycle

Liquidity is a high volume of activity in a market or also referred to as the depth of buy and sell orders. A liquid market is one where you can buy or sell quickly and the bid-ask spread could be used as an indicator for liquidity. The bid price is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a particular security, while the asking price is the amount a seller will take for that security. If the prices are close together, it means the two parties have a similar opinion. On the other hand, if the price difference is wider, that means they don't see eye-to-eye. But in reality, the asking price is always a little higher than the bid price. The difference between the bid and ask prices is what is called the bid-ask spread. This spread basically represents the supply and demand of a specific asset, including stocks. Bids reflect the demand, while the ask price reflects the supply. The spread can become much wider when one outweighs the other. The most evident factor is a security's liquidity or the volume (The number of shares traded on a daily basis). Often stocks and indexes that have large trading volumes will have narrower bid-ask spreads than those that are infrequently traded. A tight bid-ask spread can indicate an actively traded security with good liquidity. Meanwhile, a wide bid-ask spread may indicate just the opposite. If there is a significant supply or demand imbalance and lower liquidity, the bid-ask spread will expand substantially. The bid-ask is a great indicator for liquidity, as two parties negotiate for a price with macroeconomic factors, investors make decisions based on these spreads intraday or on their investments, in general, manage risk and make more desirable trades.
