Important economic announcements with the economic calendar

Much of the market analysis involves staying up to date with the latest economic announcements and political decisions impacting international markets. The decisions made by heads of state, ministers, officials, central bankers and other events are very important. The European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan are just some of the powerful key players in the world economy. 

Monetary and fiscal policy measures have a strong impact on the currency exchange markets and it is imperative to keep an eye on every movement that affects them. Only the important announcements require your attention, do not waste time with peripheral ones taken by less important players. Economic calendars provide a comprehensive, concise, and useful list of important events related to your currency trading sessions.

Market analysis and economic calendar

The types of events you are likely to see in the economic calendar include: changes in employment, unemployment rate, non-farm payroll, average weekly hours, consumer confidence indexes, consumer credit, exports and imports, trade balance, housing starts, core inflation, price index, soaring or falling currencies ... All the events on this calendar will not necessarily impact your Currency trading - that's why Alvexo classifies each of these events for you in order of importance.

Analysis of graphs and charts

Fundamental analysis aims to measure the intrinsic value of a currency pair. It explores a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors. Fundamental analysis looks at macroeconomic factors such as industry in general, interest rates and inflation rates to name just a few. All of the above market analysis generally falls into the category of fundamental analysis.There is, however, another form of market prediction and interpretation called technical analysis. This type of analysis looks at graphs and involves trying to identify trends and patterns in order to predict future price movements in exchange rates. By combining a range of technical and fundamental analytical tools, you can benefit from a more global understanding of the market.
