Forex Trading and Global Economics: The Impact of Economic Factors
The forex market is a global marketplace, with traders completing trillions of trades daily. It is also a liquid and volatile market that is highly sensitive to economic factors on a local and global scale. These factors affect market and investor sentiment, current values, and trade decisions, ultimately driving prices up or down.
The Relationship Between Forex Trading and Economic Factors
Forex trading entails speculating on a currency’s price to profit from its sale. The forex market is influenced by several economic factors that determine currency values and the prices traders deem fair at a particular time. If you are interested in forex trading, you should understand that there are numerous indicators, and it is impossible to follow them all. Some are also more important and have a bigger impact than others.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
GDP shows the value of all services and finished products produced within a country in a specified period. It is one of the best measures of the health of an economy. GDP does not move the market much because almost everything in it is known months in advance.
However, it can move the market in two ways. One, the GDP numbers might differ from expectations, leading investors and traders to revise their positions and thinking. As this happens, market activity, trade volumes, and volatility increase, opening up opportunities for keen investors.
Second, GDP can help investors know if a country is in recession, technically defined as a GDP contraction in two consecutive quarters. It, therefore, becomes a crucial macroeconomic factor that helps interested parties better understand a market and the forex opportunities therein.
The Unemployment Rate
This is the percentage of a country’s working-age population looking for work. Unemployment damages consumer sentiment and spending and can significantly affect a country’s economic health.
Unemployment data released by the government gives traders an insight into a metric that the government follows keenly. Any deviation from established trends or projections can impact the forex market.
For example, a higher-than-expected unemployment rate, which indicates a weakening of the labor market, can mean a bearish run of a currency. Any currency pairs that include it could benefit traders if they position themselves well.
The Direction of International Trade
A balance of trade tells investors and traders the demand for a country’s products. Countries with products in high demand will see currency value appreciations. The reason is that buyers must convert their currency to the country’s currency, increasing demand for the latter. This puts pressure on it, and its price appreciates.
The reverse is true for countries that are net importers of international products.
Inflation
Although a significant indicator, it might have unintended consequences on currency prices. Many traders assume that high inflation rates cause the value of a currency to fall. The reverse can happen if a central bank raises its rates to slow inflation down.
Currency values hinge on the health of their underlying economies whose health is determined and understood by looking at the most important macroeconomic indicators. Traders should keep an eye on them to understand how the global economies are doing so they can make better investment decisions.
