Main Tips Of Forex Market Analysis

Forex trading is a very sophisticated system and only its good understanding, knowledge and experience can help you trade Forex successfully. The interest in technical analysis is growing in Singapore Forex and other Asian countries and sometimes it totally replaces the fundamental analysis. But it is apparent that technical analysis is not enough for a profitable trading in Forex market. The world economy is so dynamic so any information can have a big and sudden influence on the market and cannot be predicted by just looking at the graphs.

Financial calendar is a good instrument for the fundamental analysis .You can watch it in order to be updated with all economical news and events and be ready to the movements in the market when something important happens in the world. You can see a calendar with financial events on many economical sites as well as on the sites of all Singapore brokers. The most influencing the market events usually occur in USA (USD) and Euro zone (Euro). That is the reason why 60% of global trading is done on EUR/USD currency pair. This is the most traded currency pair in Forex as Europe and USA have the biggest economical systems that influence all the world economy. Though trading in Singapore is mostly concentrated on such currency pairs as AUD, JPY, SGD and USD, still the currency pair EUR/USD has a big popularity among Asian traders as well.

The Euro zone Governing Council has a meeting every month, on Thursday of the second week when the Europe interest rate is announced. During this meeting the economists give the average review of euro zone financial development prospects and rates of interest that is the most important aspect to control liquidity.

The similar broadcast of the interest rates in USA is also important for the fundamental analysis of USD. Interest rate of both USA and Europe is a good indicator for the currency pair EUR/USD. We also recommend to watch the cross-currencies that don’t include USD for a detailed picture of a fundamental analysis. While trading with EUR/USD currency pair there is a good reason to pay attention on the cross-currencies such as EUR/JPY and EUR/CHF. The Swiss (CHF) economy, for example depends on Euro zone economy. That’s why the fall of EUR/CHF causes the fall in rate of EUR/USD.

There are numbers of traders who focus on both technical and fundamental analysis while trading on Forex market. Though these analyses are very different by way of analysis, they give a broader and detailed picture of the market. It is important to be regularly updated in the world political and economical events while trading in Forex market, as any event in one of the country’s economy may result the chain of movements in Forex market charts.
