their trades conducted until the end of the year will be short sales. On the flip side, 22% of
traders feel none of their trades will be short sales. MoneyShow.com’s Traders Sentiment

traders expect the U.S. dollar to continue to weaken and 31% expect it to remain the same, while
14% believe the U.S. dollar will rise moderately by the end of the year.
“With the volatility of the worldwide markets the past few weeks and
the continued weakening of the U.S. dollar, the MoneyShow.com Traders Sentiment Indicator shows
that traders are proceeding with cautious optimism with their trades for the remainder of the year,”
said MoneyShow.com market commentator Tim Bourquin, who is also the co-founder of The Traders Expo and Forex Traders.
Another key finding from the survey indicated that 56% of traders
expect the Standard & Poor’s 500 index to decline or remain the same through the end of the year,
which is in line with traders’ plans to short sell trades. The MoneyShow.com Traders Sentiment
Indicator also showed that 51% of traders are confident that the Federal Reserve will not change
interest rates while 43% expect it to lower interest rates. Only 6% expect the Federal Reserve
to raise interest rates.
To determine which types of investments traders are expecting to
turn the most profits through the end of the year, traders were asked to select one among the
following choices: options, stocks, commodities (gold, energy, agricultural, etc.), futures &
commodities, foreign currency (forex) and ETFs. The results were mixed as 57% of traders were
split between options (27%) and stocks (30%). The results were also close between commodities (10%)
and futures & commodities (12%) as well as foreign currency (15%) and ETF’s (6%).
