Key economic reports and factors that move markets

Global risk sentiment

As the global reserve currency, demand for the US dollar – via US Treasuries – is often correlated for the global market’s appetite for risk.

ECB (European Central Bank)

Meets eight times a year to determine interest rates across the European Union, as well as the quantitative easing policy.

FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee)

Meets eight times a year on US monetary policy and the key interest rate. Any change will impact the global macroeconomic landscape, including relative attractiveness of other countries’ currencies.

Growth differentials

Money flows towards those economies that offer growth opportunities, and that, ultimately, drives exchange rates.
