We need to master the essential skills required to trade in line with the trend‼️

1. Why News/Information Is So Important

• Drives trends: central bank policies, geopolitical conflicts, and economic data directly change the flow of funds

• Creates volatility: before and after data releases/speeches, volatility spikes—this is a short-term opportunity

• Breaks technical patterns: sudden news can instantly pierce support/resistance

• Changes expectations: the market is trading the “expectation gap,” and news is the catalyst for those expectations

• Safe-haven/risk sentiment switch: gold, the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen, and U.S. stocks all depend on the news

2. The 6 Types of International News That Most Affect Trading (Priority)

1. Central bank monetary policy (highest)

◦ Federal Reserve rate decisions, rate cuts/hikes, dot plots, Powell’s speeches

◦ ECB, BOJ, Bank of England decisions

◦ Impact: USD, gold, U.S. stocks, global exchange rates, bonds

2. Key economic data (high frequency)

◦ U.S. Non-Farm, CPI/PCE inflation, GDP, PMI

◦ Retail sales, durable goods, initial unemployment claims

◦ Impact: sharp short-term volatility, trend confirmation

3. Geopolitical and war conflicts

◦ Middle East situation, Russia-Ukraine, great-power confrontation, trade wars

◦ Impact: crude oil, gold, defense/military industry, safe-haven currencies, global stock markets
