Aside from factors such as interest rates and inflation, the exchange rate is one of the most critical determinants of a country’s relative level of economic health.  Exchange rates play a key and critical role in a country’s level of trade – core to free market economies – making exchange rates among the most watched and analyzed economic measures.  As economic forces change, so do profit levels.

In this topical session, Dr. Hebner will discuss JP Morgan's outlook on G10 and EM currencies including:

• updates on the Euro debt crisis

• the likelihood of China experiencing a hard landing this year

• the BoJ's new inflation target and the JPY

• the likely currency consequences of the fiscal cliff the US is set to hit on 1/1/2013

• the expected FX impact of an escalation in Mid-East tensions.
