MOSCOW, Aug. 23, /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

        - Euro Zone and Euro currency insights given by

                Head of Research, FOREX CLUB

    Speaking at recent conferences in Stavropol and Pyatigorsk, Andrey Dirgin,

Head of Research FOREX CLUB Group of Companies, said he expected the Euro to

strengthen to $1.27 in September. The conferences, held by FOREX CLUB to give

insights and information on major economies and the FX markets, attracted

institutional and regional investors.

    Dirgin went on to state that future decisions on the European Stability

Mechanism are likely to have a major impact on the foreign exchange markets in

the coming months. He predicted that liquidity would also be a key issue for

investors, due to the appreciation of long-term financing in the global economy.

    Also speaking at the conferences, Pavel Kasparov, Analyst-Instructor of the

International Academy of Investments and Trading [http://www.traderacademy.ru

], official partner of FOREX CLUB in Russia and the CIS, said: "Investors are

setting more and more requirements not only to the profitability of investment

vehicles but also to their stability in a crisis situation. Traditionally

popular saving instruments such as bank deposits and real estate no longer meet

the growing expectations of investors. The current situation in the Euro Zone

has led not only to rising sovereign debt rates for Southern Euro Zone

countries and Euro volatility, but also an increasing risk of a collapse of the

economics of the European Union.

    "In this environment of growing risks, not all investment instruments show

the same yield growth. Bank deposits and investment in real estate provide

investors with a low yield in an environment of heightened risk and at a level

below the risk-return demands of investors. That's why there is an increasing

demand for investment vehicles that combine greater returns with a higher

resistance to the financial crisis."
