In Forex Trading, the most important thing is the Judgment on whether the currency will rise or fall. When the value of our target currency goes up, then we will make a profit from long positions. When the value of the currency we trade falls, then we can make a profit from short positions.
How to judge the value of a currency rises or falls in a period of time?
Here are three reference factors:
First, The value of currencies raises in those countries that with higher interest rates. Investors in high interest countries get better returns than those in low interest countries. As a result, high interest rates attract foreign capital, leading to an increase in the exchange rate. That’s one reason foreign exchange traders may be trading at rates announced by central banks such as the Fed or the Bank of England.
Second, The Currency Issuance directly determines the value of the country’s currency. Currencies in low inflation countries tend to appreciate because their Currency Issuance in a healthy level and have a higher purchasing power than other currencies. High inflation countries have mass Currency Issuance, so the value of their currency depreciates. The Fed issued unlimited QE recently to cope with the impact of the novel coronavirus epidemic on the economy. The USD is Facing depreciation.
Finally, the Investment Environment of the currency country has an impact on the currency value. Financial crisis, earthquake, tsunami, war and conflict bring pressure to a country’s economy, worsen the investment environment, and also have a negative impact on the value of a currency.
