About Valdir da Silva

Mr. da Silva started his market career as an options investor back in 2015, following his studies and financial education through different courses, such as: ‘The Language and Tools of Financial Analysis’, ‘Financial Markets’ , and ‘A Critical Approach to Political Economy'. In the following years, he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations (2017), becoming a Master in International Relations in 2020. Meanwhile, he has published articles dedicated to BRICS’ New Development Bank, the Russian economy, energy-related issues, and global markets. Mr. da Silva’s main focus of market analysis is centered on a ‘fundamentalist’ approach, meaning the follow-up of important political and (macro)economic factors and events that might influence the performance of a country’s economy and consequently its currency behavior vis-à-vis other currencies.
