On Friday, November 20, 2009, a reader sent us the following question: What is your view on the impact of latency on forex trading? For instance, the network bringing the data and executing the trades, and the impact of transmission latency on this. As you are probably aware, there is a lot of work taking place in the equities space at reducing latency on networks to deliver higher profits through getting a better price sooner than the competition. I'd be interested to hear if you had looked into this at all in your research. |

In general we try to stay away from macroeconomics per se, regarding it a subject too far off in the "liberal arts" area for the hard quantitative nature of this site, but since you're asking specifically -- here goes our opinion. |

There is quite a shortage of good historical LIBOR interest rates data charts with a selection of currencies and maturities on the net. ForexAutomaton.com has a new section for just that: find historical LIBOR charts sorted by currency, loan duration and year on our site. These are essentially graphical "dumps" of our SQL database, based on the official BBA LIBOR archive. Use the Filter feature of the list to find the data you need.
