Economic indicators provide invaluable insights into how different
economies and financial markets are performing, enabling practitioners
to adjust their investment strategies in order to gain knowledge about
markets and to achieve higher returns. However, in order to make the
right decisions, you must know how to interpret the relevant indicators.
Using Economic Indicators in Analysing Financial Markets provides this
important guidance.
The first and second part of Using Economic Indicators in Analysing
Financial Markets focuses on the short-term analysis, explaining
exactly what the indicators are, why they are significant, where and
when they are published, and how reliable they are. In the third part,
author Bernd Krampen highlights medium and long-term economic trends: It
is shown how some previously discussed and additional market indicators
like stocks, bond yields, commodities can be employed as basis for
forecasting both GDP growth and inflation. This includes the estimation
of possible future recessions. In the fourth part the predominantly good
forecast properties of sentiment indicators are illustrated examining
the real estate market, which is rounded up by an introduction into
psychology and Behavioural Finance providing further tips and tricks in
analysing financial markets.
Using Economic Indicators in Analysing Financial Markets is an
invaluable resource for investors, strategists, policymakers, students,
and private investors worldwide who want to understand the true meaning
of the latest economic trends to make the best decisions for future
profits on financial markets.
