CNBC to launch new currency trading show

CNBC announced Monday that it would launch a new show about currency trading later this month.

The show will be called “Money in Motion Currency Trading” and will appear on Fridays at 5:30 p.m. The first episode will appear on Feb. 25.

The show will have a simultaneous global launch in CNBC in the U.S., CNBC Europe, Middle East and Africa and CNBC Australia and be anchored by Melissa Lee.

Lee will lead discussions with some of the biggest names in the world of currency trading: Rebecca Patterson, managing director and global head of currencies and commodities, J.P. Morgan Private Bank; Andrew B Busch, global currency and public policy strategist, BMO Capital Markets; Todd Gordon, co-head of research and trading, Aspen Trading Group; Dennis Gartman, author of The Gartman Letter; and Amelia Bourdeau, senior G10 FX strategist for the Americas, UBS.

“A program dedicated to currencies has never been more relevant,” said Susan Krakower, CNBC’s senior vice president strategic programming and development, in a statement. “CNBC is an investor-focused network and this program will teach viewers how to harness the power of the $4 trillion currency market.”

Other business news media such as Dow Jones & Co. have launched products aimed at covering the foreign currency market in recent months.
