What this lesson covers
Technical analysis tells you when to trade. Fundamental analysis explains why the market is moving at all. This lesson introduces the economic side of currency trading in plain terms. It covers what actually drives a currency's strength: interest rates and the central banks that set them, inflation and how policy responds to it, employment figures, growth data and the general sentiment around a country's economy. It explains how the market prices expectations in advance, which is why a good number can still send a currency lower. The lesson also shows how to sort the releases that move markets from the constant stream of headlines that do not, and how to combine a fundamental view with a technical entry rather than treating them as rival methods.
