Fundamental Terminology

Hi Pips,

I read the news on a daily basis at least 3 times a day. And the main concern for me is the terminology used to determine what will happen with the countries financial state.

So i land up googling the terms to help understand better, but its back and forth.
So here are a few i would like help with, and maybe this is already on the website somewhere that i dont know about. I think it would be a nice to have in the Forexpedia as well. And like i say, “unless its already there”.

Stimulus
Monetary easing - Something to do with money being loaned?
Bond Purchases - what effect will they have on a countries economy
Floating band - huh?
Fiscal
Gilts


If there are anymore out there please feel free to put them in. It would be great to have a one stop reference for these terms when reading the news.

Thanks.

I can give some answers but I think Salman Khan does a better job :slight_smile:
