Four deals to be realized in August

1. Statistically, August is a tough month for AUD. If we look back to 2005, the Australian has dropped 11 times, amid just three rises. The average negative return is -2.19%.

2. Gold - The strong or weak USD can have a significant impact on raw materials, but in the end August is a winning month for gold and oil. Since 2000 gold only registers a month of August at a loss, most likely due to the month-long feature that investors have to withdraw from the market and hedge their positions.

3. August is a holiday month, which is why large investors are withdrawing from the markets. With this liquidity drops, and the likelihood of speculation rises sharply, which in turn raises VIX. Whether it's a seasonal model or a collection of one-off deals is controversial, but the risks of trading, the yuan, NAFTA and the overall suicide of the VIX markets seem like a good bet.

4. GBP - August is the worst month of the cable calendar with decreases in 9 of the past 11 years. The BOE interest rate decision is tomorrow, and perhaps the beginning of the next trend.
