Clifford has addressed the internationally prestigious APEC Summit on reserve currency issues, and the Caixin Summit in Beijing on future Chinese trade patterns.
Author of “Warrior Trading”, published by John Wiley & Sons in New York.
Bloomberg New York labelled him, “the world’s most accurate currency forecaster”.
Clifford has literally rubbed shoulders with Hilary Clinton and had jokes made about him by President Putin. He has pushed hard for bold tax reform in Australia and a globally competitive posture.
Clifford draws upon his experience of working class fortitude as a child, as a naval officer, and as a graduate of political economy from the University of Sydney.
Clifford started the very first technical analysis service at Macquarie Bank in the 1980's, developed currency overlay management techniques and has advised the world’s biggest corporations and banks. While trading through all of the crises and opportunities of the past three decades.
Completing his institutional career as Senior FX Strategist Asia for BNP Paribas, just as being promoted to Head of Eastern Europe and African Research in London, Clifford returned to Australia for family reasons and started his “look out the window” commonsense economics consulting business.
Delivering his services to leading business figures around the world, clients in 27 countries and becoming a regular international key note speaker at global economic conferences from Rome to Miami. Always providing a real track record about performance in trading and market direction indicators across stocks, currencies, gold and oil.
Clifford has appeared numerous times in the global print and television media, such as the Financial Times, CNBC, Bloomberg, ABC and AFR.
He is well known for ringing the bell for a new Grand Bull Market in global equity markets on the Switzer Show, just two days after the absolute low in March 2009, suggesting a 5-15 year new bull market had just commenced. Proven remarkably correct 10 years on and with 300% gains being seen in the US stock market.
Clifford was first in the world to forecast the Australian dollar to rise above Parity to the US dollar. When at the time the Australian dollar was trading at just 76 cents. In the leading business page articles of the time his forecast was publicly derided by every bank in Australia, who all said everyone knows the Australian dollar will never go above 80 cents again. A few years later, the Australian dollar hit a high of 1.10 to the US dollar.
Clifford is relentless in calling it as he sees it, and not fitting in with the pack.
Perhaps the only economist in the world, to forecast from 2009, that inflation would remain low despite the global quantitative easing and record low interest rates around the world, and throughout a coming surprisingly strong economic and financial markets recovery. Again derided. Again remarkably accurate and proven correct. While Clifford has lectured on this since 2009, the Reserve Bank of Australia, and even the Federal Reserve, still struggle to understand this new reality of global competitiveness. That low inflation is a natural positive outcome of the process.
He has been a keynote speaker for Euromoney in London, Eurofinance Global Annual Summits around the world, Macquarie Bank, NAB, PWC, Deloitte, EY, has Chaired Chief Economists Annual Events. Australian Tourism and Trade. Clients have included no less than five billionaires around the world, and the most senior business magnates and politicians in Australia.
