Intermediate Day Trading Course: Trading the News

Trading the news is a huge component of trading the financial markets. The News & Economic Data provides the markets with fresh momentum and clear direction & it gives the Central Banks the framework from which to manage their economies via interest rate adjustments. If the economic data comes in consistently strong the Central Bank raises interest rates and vice versa if the economic data is consistently weak, they will cut interest rates.

The higher a countries interest rates relative to others the higher the value of their currency will be. This also has a roll-on effect throughout the financial markets as they are all inter-related. The Forex market, Equity markets, Stock markets, & Commodity markets are all impacted by the news releases.

Understand this section and you’ll be well on the way to becoming a more consistent & successful trader.
