ABC'S OF Forex - Interpreting Foreign Exchange News

By Brad Morgan

Knowing the ABC's of forex is a precursor for making money in the foreign exchange market. Knowledge of the basics of technical analysis is insufficient because the foreign exchange markets are operating on more than the mathematical components. Failure to do so could mean making a mistake at a critical point.

There are major effects wielded by news reports both global and local on the currency market. While finance related news without a doubt yields the greatest effect, other non-finance but major events have their own impact too. They are possibly anticipated or come spontaneously .

A volcanic eruption or a major pandemic are descriptive of such unforeseen events that impact the currency market. Stop-losses are just about the only answers in these cases.

A good example of projected events would be choosing the host country for the Miss Universe Pageant. The chosen countries economy would experience an increase in investor trust which can lead to an appreciation in its currency value.

Conversely, the countries who were not considered may be affected negatively. Thus advance knowledge of such events are indispensable to forex traders.

Daily finance reports that are circulated in quite a number of countries are related circumstances. Data on the nation's economy while sporadic , are pretty much anticipated.

An excellent trader shouldn't forget that he always trades on two currencies. While trading in your native currency allows for accessibility to key economic data, it also allows one to under estimate the importance of events and data in the second currency.

Disregarding other currencies is more common in America because the US currency is always on the foreign exchange news. This is more obvious when the trader is using a secondary currency vs the US dollar. One must ensure that his data is not preconceived .

Being a novice trader is no excuse for being ignorant of this basic scrutiny of the foreign currency market. Departing the market before major news events is always a wise move for the newbie.

In time, as you get more skills and feel for the market, it is possible to acquire a trading method premised on the analysis of the fundamentals. Though before this happens, you must first establish a firm foundation in forex essentials . - 23196
