FOREX FUNDAMENTALS: Handling news about foreign exchange

By Brad Morgan

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

Local and foreign news reports have a big effect on the foreign exchange market. This is applicable not only for business news but also for significant news in other sectors. This news may have been out of the blue or foreseen .

A tornado or an act of terrorism are cases in point as they are unforeseen but could severely affect the market prices. In such events, stop-losses are just about the only remedy you would have.

An example of predicted events would be the holding of a major international conference in a particular country. Its local currency may go through an increase in currency value due to investor confidence.

On the other hand, countries that failed in the quest to host this event could suffer devaluation of their currency. Thus a currency trader must be well informed about such events as well as the nations involved.

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

Currency trading always includes two currencies, a fact that you must keep in mind. Trading in your own currency provides you with the luxury of a lot of data but this may be at the expense of omitting key information about the other currency.

Americans in particular, are prone to this due to the domination by the US currency as far as foreign exchange intelligence is concerned. This is further magnified when a secondary currency is traded against the dollar. Making sure that your data is always two sided is the proactive step you can make to avoid this.

Taking to heart these key aspects of basic study on the currency market is essential to a budding trader. For such upstarts, anticipating key events and departing the market before they materialize is the prudent thing to do.

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 . - 23212
