Why study U.S. Economic Indicators?
Volatility is now a fact of life in the financial market place.
But where does this volatility come from and which information do you really need to know
about when trying to see where the next move in the financial market place is coming
from?
This course has been designed to provide answers to this question and in doing so to highlight the key US economic and non-economic indicators that affect the pricing of financial assets worldwide.
Emphasis in the course is placed upon the interaction of economic and psychological factors, with special reference to the effects of the United States economic environment on both the US financial markets and on the other financial market centres.
The central role played by the US Federal
Reserve (the Fed) is highlighted throughout the course. Indeed it is no exaggeration to say that when the
Fed blinks the financial markets jump. Nothing so preoccupies the thoughts of financial
market professionals as much as the actions of the Fed. The extraordinary attention
accorded the Fed reflects the key role it plays in the worlds financial markets.
This course provides participants with a unique set of 'Fed watching rules' enabling them to be aware of where the next move in US interest rates and the US Dollar is coming from.
