Forex Trading Factors That Influence Trading

Posted by Dee Powers on Thursday, July 30, 2009, In : Forex Economic Data 
If the current government's deficit increases, its currency's value will fall. As the government decreases its deficit, the currency can begin to recover value and the exchange rate will become more favorable. The same relationship holds true with a country's trade deficit.

Why "BRIC" Posturing Against the Dollar Just Doesn't Add Up

Posted by by Bryan Rich on Saturday, June 20, 2009, In : Forex Economic Data 

The dollar has been publicly attacked on many fronts over the past three months. And endless accusations have been made that the U.S. is purposely trying to devalue the dollar to lessen its growing debt burden.
Sure, everyone understands the potential inflationary implications of the ultra-stimulative policy actions taken by the Fed. But inflation is unlikely to become an issue for quite some time. And when it does appear, then a judgment can be made as to how the Fed is managing it. Plus, oth...

real-time Inflation Indicator (per annum): 7.5%

Was anybody surprised by the Yankee dollar's wobble Monday? With a zombie stock market lurching about and the price of gold rising, you'd think that the greenback would be moribund. Not so.

The dollar's purchasing power, measured against gold and the world's second reserve currency, the euro, has in fact improved recently. More accurately, the buck's erosion has slowed.

That's reflected in our real-time inflation indicator which h...

Posted by Larry Edelson on Tuesday, February 24, 2009, In : Forex Economic Data 

Check out our forex Charts that will help you find out when there is a trend change.

“Larry, the dollar seems to be defying gravity. What gives?”

On the surface, it looks like the dollar is strong. But stand back for a minute and consider the following: The British pound and the euro are plummeting. So is the Russian ruble and all Eastern European currencies.

There’s not one shred of doubt in my mind that the dollar is headed much, much lower.

Top News Announcements For The Eur/Usd This Week

Posted by Casey Sheldon on Monday, February 2, 2009, In : Forex Economic Data
