<p>ABOUT $2 TRILLION are exchanged every day in the global currency markets—about 60 times the volume of trading on the New York Stock Exchange—with the most active trading occurring between the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the Japanese yen, the British pound, and the Swiss franc. Spot currency prices move in the markets based on factors of interest rates, but interest rates between two nations, rather than one side of a currency pair. <p>In order to understand a currency pair combination, both sides of the pair must be considered from a two-nation perspective. How does the second nation calculate and factor interest, and what are the market instruments that track the various rates that trade every day in order to track a trade throughout the various markets? Inside the Currency Market outlines the two-sided currency pair trade from a whole host of perspectives as it relates nation-to-nation, addressing currency pairs from the eight major countries. And it answers a key question: what are the components, the constituent factors comprising the second side of a currency pair equation, and how should those factors be considered in terms of a trading strategy? <p>Throughout these pages, author Brian Twomey shows how currency movements are impacted by a variety of factors, including interest rates, trade balances, inflation levels, monetary and fiscal policies, and the political climate. He also discusses fundamentally driven trades based on interest rate differentials and trade imbalances as well as technical trades involving chart patterns, trends, and trading ranges. And he reveals how successful traders use both fundamental data and a variety of technical tools to trade within this market—as well as describing both the underlying dynamics that drive the market and the strategies that can help you capture consistent profits in it. Inside the Currency Market explains virtually every element of this market and can function as a desk reference that puts everyday events into context for traders. <p>The currency market continues to generate interest and attract new retail traders due to the many opportunities available within it. This book will show you how to successfully operate within this arena by making the most informed trading decisions possible.
