Fundamental Analysis
18 Oca 2022

After analyzing the results of 2021, we found so many profitable assets that it was tough to pile them up in one single review. Nevertheless, we will try to explain them all to you and we would be very glad if, among them, you will find out your own deal, made with SuperForex.

1. The best asset among Currency Pairs: USD/JPY.

The US dollar became the strongest currency in 2021, and versus the weakest currency, the JPY, it was possible to achieve the most impressive results. The deals with USD/JPY were made by 92% of traders, but many were in a hurry to close unprofitable deals but the best option was simply to open the deal on the first trading day of 2021, and close it on 31.12.2021, after 365 days, with a profit of $10698.96 (1 lot deal). During this period USD rose against JPY by 111.5%, amid a recovery in demand for risky assets and the opposite monetary policy of the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan, and of course taking into account the rapid recovery of the US economy, while the Japanese economy remained under pressure. In order to open the best deal of the year, it took only $3,000 of investment and the actual profitability for 1 year amounted to 342.3%.

2. The best asset among the CFD' Companies shares: Google (#GOOG).

In the middle of the year, after the next quarterly report with a record profit, it became clear that investing in Google was the best solution for hundreds of traders. Even during the last trading day everything fell into its place: for 365 days of 2021, every Google share purchased on the first trading day was sold at a price of $1,170.3, with an investment of $90, and all this result has been achieved without any drawdowns. Nominally, the shares rose by 167.2%, and the actual profitability amounted to 1344%.

3. The best asset among the Metals: Aluminum.

Aluminum and nickel were the only metals showing a steady increase in prices and good dynamics without significant drawdowns. In 2021, the cost of aluminum increased by 140.49%. Thus, by buying aluminum on the first trading day of 2021, it would be possible to close the deal at 31.12.21 without problems with a profit of $91943 per lot or $919.43 for each ton of aluminum purchased.

4. The best asset among the Futures: crude oil (#CL/#BRT).

All futures in 2021 were almost considered profitable but the deals with oil turned out to be the most profitable, since on the first trading day of 2021. Oil cost only $48, and on the last trading day - $75, this is far from the best price. Nevertheless, by holding the deal for all 365 days, it was possible to get $30280 profit on each barrel purchased.

5. The best asset among Indices: Nasdaq (NAS100).

This American index grew by 128.5% in 2021. 90.7% of Super Forex traders traded with this index. As in the case of currency pairs, the greatest profit was made by those who traded long-term, because right at the end of the year NAS100 rates had reached their peak, and on the last trading day of 2021, it was possible to fix a profit of $3,652 on each lot.

January is not simply the beginning of the year, but also the best time to open profitable deals. Whatever category of assets you choose, as well as whatever investment budget you have, you can still make great deals that multiply your investments.
