Description of Trading the Fundamentals |
Trading the Fundamentals explains the significance, viability and market impact of 23 of the most widely followed economic indicators. Michael Niemira and Gerald Zukowski, two top Wall Street economists, examine and explain how each indicator behaves through every phase of the business cycle. If you hope to trade or invest profitably, you must understand how these fundamental indicators drive the financial markets.
The authors also explain the Federal Reserve's effect on financial markets, from the decisions of the Federal Reserve Board to the implementation of monetary policy by the Federal Open Market Committee. Key signals to interpreting monetary policy changes are outlined. A framework of the U.S. Treasury's debt management techniques and issuance is included.
With over 100 tables and 50 charts, Trading The Fundamentals shows you how indicators interrelate with each other and affect the markets. This detailed reference provides the keys so you can instantly interpret economic reports, and act when the numbers are released without waiting for expert analysis.
