Along your travels, you’ve undoubtedly come across Gulliver, Frodo, and the topic of fundamental analysis.
Wait a minute…
We’ve already given you a teaser about fundamental analysis during Kindergarten! Now let’s get to the nitty-gritty!
What is it exactly and will I need to use it? Well, fundamental analysis is the study of fundamentals! That was easy, wasn’t it? Ha! Gotcha!
There’s really more to it than that. Soooo much more.
Whenever you hear people mention fundamentals, they’re really talking about the economic fundamentals of a currency’s host country or economy.
Economic fundamentals cover a vast collection of information – whether in the form of economic, political or environmental reports, data, announcements or events.More News
Even a credit rating downgrade qualifies as fundamental data and you should see how Pipcrawler turned this news into a winning short EUR/USD trade.
Fundamental analysis is the use and study of these factors to forecast future price movements of currencies.
It is the study of what’s going on in the world and around us, economically and financially speaking, and it tends to focus on how macroeconomic elements (such as the growth of the economy, inflation, unemployment) affect whatever we’re trading.
Fundamental data takes shape in many different forms.
It can appear as a report released by the Fed on U.S. existing home sales. It can also exist in the possibility that the European Central Bank will change its monetary policy.
The release of this data to the public often changes the economic landscape (or better yet, the economic mindset), creating a reaction from investors and speculators.
There are even instances when no specific report has been released, but the anticipation of such a report happening is another example of fundamentals.
Speculations of interest rate hikes can be “priced in” hours or even days before the actual interest rate statement.
In fact, currency pairs have been known to sometimes move 100 pips just moments before major economic news, making for a profitable time to trade for
