The Rules of Forex Trading and The Importance of Economics



Playing around with foreign exchange and currencies is not for the slow-witted and the faint of heart. These are usually very small profit margin markets where you need to play with large volumes of money to generate modest profits and to build your wealth. Besides just the volume, the market fluctuates literally every second to determine your profits and to capitalize on even the smallest change in forex prices, you’re going to have to consistently keep up with the markets.
For these reasons, people usually shy away from this particular form of investment/gambling, whichever you want to call it, very few have the time and the energy to keep doing this perpetually. Those who actually do it are often assisted by high-tech software to keep up. However, there is still one thing that almost everyone in the market fails to understand, and that is the role of economics in determining exchange prices.  The interconnectivity between currency demands, commodities and the general economic conditions of any specific economy is perhaps the single greatest significant determinant of currency rates.

Commodity Prices and Currency

Let’s say you’re sitting in Singapore and you’re thinking of investing in the dollar. You take a look at the oil demand across the world and notice that there is a steady increase in oil expenditure in most major world economies. All oil expenditures are undertaken with dollars so you can expect that the demand for dollar across the world to rise and for the dollar prices to rise across the board. This should prompt you to buy the dollar which will go up very soon and you can sell it for a profit.
Similarly, in the event that the global economy is going through an economic slump there’s going to be a fall in demand for all goods across the world. This fall in demand often causes a slump in currency rates which causes the dollar value to fall. In these situations, you could choose hold your dollars or sell them before they fall even further.
There is a catch here though, unless there is a major economic upheaval (Positive or Negative) these gains or losses are minimal. So if you’re looking to make it big, you’re going to need a major capital investment for your trading endeavors.

Manchester City or Liverpool: Who’ll win the Premier League?

Over the years, we have seen some amazing finishes to Premier League seasons. Who remembers the 2009/2010 season, when Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea edged Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United side by a single point? And who  doesn’t  remember Sergio Aguero’s last-gasp goal against QPR that secured Manchester City’s first title in 44 years?  However, before the current season began, it had been a few years since we had witnessed a truly close title race. Manchester City ran away with the title last season, and so did Chelsea in the season before that. However, this season has been a different story. The title race we’ve witnessed in the 2018/19 season has truly been one for the ages, with both Manchester City and Liverpool being relentless for the entirety of the campaign. There are only 2 games left to go with just a point separating Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp’s sides. Will Manchester City manage to retain their crown or will Liverpool finally end their 29-yea...
