Markets respond to changing expectations
Data and policy news can change expectations about the economy and interest rates. Reactions depend on how the news differs from previous expectations.
One release, different markets
Currencies, bonds, equities and commodities may respond differently. Understand the underlying market instead of applying one reaction to every instrument.
Verify news and understand risk
Use reliable sources and check timing and context. Unexpected news can cause rapid movements or price gaps.
