What you will learn
Course modules
What Is Fundamental Analysis?
Learn what fundamental analysis is in forex, how interest rates, inflation, and economic data drive currency prices, and why it makes every technical setup stronger.
Economic Indicators
Learn which economic indicators move forex markets, why the surprise matters more than the number, and how NFP, CPI, and PMI connect to central bank decisions.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
The broadest measure of economic health, released in stages, and revised more than most traders expect. By Martin Nwankwo
Inflation
The force that central banks fear most, and the data point that moves currencies fastest.
Interest Rates
Learn how interest rates move currencies, why rate differentials matter more than rate levels, and why the statement and press conference often move markets more than the decision
Central Banks
Learn how central banks move currencies, why statements matter more than rate decisions, what hawkish and dovish mean, and how to read a central bank pivot before it happens
Monetary Policy
The complete toolkit that central banks use to steer economies. Interest rates are the headline. The rest of the toolkit moves markets too.
Employment Data
Jobs tell you what the economy is doing. Wages tell you what inflation is likely to do next.
Retail Sales
Consumer spending is the engine of most developed economies. Retail sales tell you how hard that engine is running.
News Trading
The release is the trigger. The reaction that follows is where the trade lives.
Economic Calendar
The schedule that tells you when markets are most likely to move, before they move.
Risk Sentiment
Markets have a mood. When it shifts, it overrides data, ignores levels, and moves currencies further and faster than fundamentals alone.
