Exchangebus - Crystal gazing into future markets

As the world markets move into a tizzy and southwards I dedicate my new blog to the world of financial markets.

Financial Markets are like landscaped gardens and need constant tending. 

The financial markets  are at crossroads and  the way we trade will change in this decade:
1. The basis or order matching may change, faster trading engines do not ensure best price discovery, the algorithmic trading engines have also peaked, the market mechanism will need to be overhauled.
2.Cloud Computing Technology will reduce the technology  cost barrier to build exchanges.
3. Trading may evolve from equities and commodities to  newer trade-able items like labor and resources in our solar system.
4. Regulators will be under pressure to bring order into the markets and traders will continue to stay ahead of the regulator.
5. Barriers to global trading will emerge, which may also mean  change in global markets we see today.
6. Risks will continue in trading, with gradual introduction of digital money and one-world currency geography will cease to be of concern.
7. There will be huge upheavals in the way we view global economics as we enter fuzzier and uncharted marketplaces.
