At the start of the economic downturn during the first quarter of 2008, it was felt that the United States would bear the brunt of the global recession. With the US dollar weakening and worse than expected job loss numbers, for a while it was the United States who had to face the worst economic crisis. However, over the past two years, many parts of Europe has ended up being the worst affected during the current global economic crisis.
With major countries such as Spain, Greece and Ireland all facing a bleak economic future and huge job loss numbers, things are not expected to turn around anytime soon even with bailouts from the EU. Even United Kingdom has been struggling to maintain jobs and wriggle out of the real economic recession in the country. All this has obviously taken its toll on the Euro which has weakened significantly over the past year or so. Even now with the dollar showing some resistance and even signs of recovery, Euro continues to be under pressure with each passing day.
However, amongst all the economic turmoil, Canada has emerged as one of the stronger players in the world economy with less than expected effects of the economic recession and a strengthening Canadian dollar. The interesting part though is that many Canadians have seen the global economic uncertainty as an opportunity for extra income and have been indulging in forex trading for a while now. Many Canadians have created a regular and more than expected passive income for themselves by trading in currencies and taking advantage of first the weakening US dollar and at present the weakening Euro.
Forex trading has not just been confined to large institutions and trading of currency futures by financial companies. As a matter of fact many individuals and lower income groups have been able to trade in currencies as well with the help of small loans which has helped them get started in the currency markets. Loans such as payday loans can help any individual with or without a good credit history to apply for a short-term loan to indulge in any kind of trading activity. Since such loans are approved within 24 hours, individuals can trade and take advantage of weakening Euro as and when they feel there is an opportunity. Once they have made some profit from trading and have built a minimum reserve fund on their own, there is no need for further loans and a great passive income can be generated by utilizing a payday loan initially.
