News Trading
In most financial markets, the release of economic data and statistics tends to trigger short-term movements. The forex market is particularly reactive to economic news from all over the world. Considering the wide range of major and cross currencies available at Finotec, as well as their derivatives, there is always some piece of economic information slated for publication that traders may use to take on a new position. An average of seven indicators and other economic data which have an impact on the majors are released each day, providing many opportunities for those who trade the news. To find out what those data are, browse through the Forex calendar below:
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the rate of inflation (i.e., the rate of price changes) experienced by consumers when purchasing goods and services. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation's currency. The primary objective of the central bank is to achieve price stability; when inflation rises above an annualized rate of approximately 2%, they will respond by raising interest rates to bring prices down. Higher interest rates attract foreign investment, thus increasing demand for the nation's currency. CPI is one of the most closely watched indicators and will usually have a high impact upon release.

Derivative of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) that excludes the volatile Food, Energy, Alcohol and Tobacco items. CPI with the exclusion of these volatile components is thought to be a better indicator of the underlying inflation trend and the central bank uses it as their primary inflation gauge, aiming to keep it at an annualized rate of 2%.

UK

The Producer Price Index (PPI) Output measures the rate of inflation (i.e., the rate of price changes) experienced by manufacturers when selling goods and services. Manufacturers are unlikely to pass Output inflation to the consumer, so it has much less market impact than its PPI Input counterpart.

The Producer Price Index (PPI) Input measures the rate of inflation (i.e., the rate of price changes) experienced by manufacturers when purchasing goods and services. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation's currency. When manufactures pay more for goods and services, they are likely to pass the higher costs to the consumer, so PPI is thought to be a leading indicator of consumer inflation. PPI is highly regarded, and at extremes will have a market impact equal to that of its CPI counterpart.
