I'd use variations of manipulation, myself to describe what Soros is up to... speculation is, IMO, legitimate to a degree. It implies that one SPECULATES on what might happen.
Soros is more interested in a "sure thing" on that front - ergo, I consider him to be into currency MANIPULATION.

Excellent clarification.
However, "speculation" is a necessary term of art--actively admitting that you're trying to manipulate national currencies is a great way to, for example, be declared an "Enemy of the Realm" by Her Majesty's Government (which he richly earned after crashing the pound in 1991).
