where would i be able to get research on the major currency pairs
Bit of a vague question, do you mean fundamental research,
ie interest rates etc?
sorry, yeah fundamental research
I know this is an ebook but it is free

Take a look down the webpage you will see it, plus some of
the other articles are quite good.
Also try this website it will give you some more ideas.
Fundamental Analysis: Introduction
I find if you read these articles quite often it leads in other
directions as well.
On tv there is CNBC, Bloomberg, even The working lunch which
you can get ON DEMAND from a cable company (back progs etc.)
PS Also try
Forex Forum, Forex Calendar, Forex News @ Forex Factory
if you click on the “detail” it gives an explanation of the report.
where would i get consensus forecasts for key economic indicators?
You’ve just gone beyond my knowledge, but what I did was
put “consensus forecasts” into google & just took a squint
around, try that.
I didn’t go too deep because my eyes started to glaze over.
Hopefully rhody is still about & he could give you more info.
Ask and yee shall receive. 
One of my colleagues has recently launched a new forex blog site that includes a pretty intenstive economic calendar. I don’t think the site does its official launch until after the new year, but it’s live now and can be viewed. The lead analyst writing it used to be a forex dealer and has been a market analyst for at least 10 years now, so he’s giving you the important stuff going on in the markets.
Thanks, that website is exactly what i was looking for.
Yep thanks also rhody, I’ve bookmarked that website &
will keep my eye on it into the new year.
