Markets

 

Currency

Currency trading (Forex) involves the exchange of currencies in a decentralized global market. Key factors influencing currency values include interest rates, inflation, political stability, and economic performance. Major currencies include the US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), and British Pound (GBP).

Government Bond 10Y

The 10-Year Government Bond yield is a crucial benchmark for long-term interest rates and reflects investor sentiment about economic growth and inflation. In the US, the 10-Year Treasury Note is closely watched and influences mortgage rates and other long-term loans.

Stock Market

The stock market is where shares of publicly traded companies are bought and sold. Major indices include the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and NASDAQ. Stock prices are influenced by company performance, economic data, and global events. Investors analyze financial statements, market trends, and economic indicators to make informed decisions.
