This week, my friend, John Forman and the IFR Markets team, won the prestigious FX Week Award for their agenda-setting coverage of the foreign exchange market through a year of great turmoil. IFR Markets is the real-time markets commentary service of Thomson Reuters and provides a variety of real-time news, commentary and market coverage across the globe.

IFR Markets Forex Watch won the Best Vendor for FX Research and Strategy, 2010 award, which is decided by votes from the foreign exchange industry and recognizes the expertise, commitment and flair of the editorial team. Here’s what people have been saying about IFR Markets Forex Watch:

The team consistently provided incisive commentary and winning trade ideas through a stormy year for currency markets that included a yuan revaluation and Japanese intervention, a euro crisis, multiple dollar slides and a surge in emerging currencies. They faced stiff competition from players such as Informa Global Markets and 4Cast who value this accolade above all others.

Here at Currensee, we created our partnership with IFR Markets over a year ago, mostly because of the reasons they won this exciting award. Members of the Currensee social network can take advantage of the IFR Markets news, commentary and analysis for free on the platform and our members find this real-time insight extremely valuable. We also offer much of the Thomson Reuters IFR Markets Forex Watch information through our proprietary Squawk Box, Order Board and Trading Desk widgets. The Thomson Reuters folks have a solid reputation for providing first-class research and market analysis and we’re excited to offer our members access to this offering.

Congrats to the IFR Markets team on a well-deserved award.
