Economic Indicators & Forex: What Every Trader Should Know | Rabab Markets

What Are Economic Indicators?
Economic indicators are reports or statistics released by governments and financial institutions that reflect a country’s economic performance. Forex traders closely monitor these indicators because they directly influence the strength and value of currencies.
Key Economic Indicators That Affect Forex Markets
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Measures a country’s economic growth. A rising GDP typically strengthens the national currency. - Inflation Rates (CPI, PPI)
High inflation may lead central banks to raise interest rates, impacting currency strength. - Interest Rates
Announced by central banks (like the Fed, ECB, or BoE). Higher rates often attract foreign investment, boosting the currency. - Employment Reports (Non-Farm Payroll, Unemployment Rate)
Strong job numbers signal a healthy economy and support the local currency. - Retail Sales & Consumer Confidence
Indicators of consumer spending behavior — important for predicting short-term currency movement.
