Still have questions?

What is an interest rate decision?

An interest rate decision is a crucial monetary policy tool used by central banks to control the money supply in an economy. It refers to the process of determining whether to increase, decrease, or maintain the current interest rates set by the central bank.

Interest rates have a significant impact on economic activity, such as borrowing and lending activities, investment decisions, consumer spending, and overall economic growth. When central banks raise interest rates, borrowing becomes more expensive, leading to a decrease in consumer spending and investment. Conversely, when interest rates are lowered, borrowing becomes cheaper, encouraging consumers and businesses to spend and invest more. Therefore, interest rate decisions are closely monitored by investors and businesses as they can have a profound impact on financial markets, economic activity, the housing market, and forex trading.
‍

Who are the major central banks?

Central banks play a crucial role in the global economy by setting monetary policy, controlling inflation, and stabilising their country or territory's currency. Some of the major central banks around the world include: Fed (Federal Reserve - United States), ECB (European Central Bank - Eurozone), BoE (Bank of England - United Kingdom), BoJ (Bank of Japan - Japan), SNB (Swiss National Bank - Switzerland), BoC (Bank of Canada - Canada), RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia - Australia), and RBNZ (Reserve Bank of New Zealand - New Zealand).
‍

What is market volatility?

Market volatility refers to the degree of fluctuation in asset prices within a particular market or financial instrument. It is generally measured by the standard deviation of returns for a specific period, with higher volatility indicating larger price swings and greater uncertainty in the market.Volatility can be caused by a variety of factors, including economic indicators, geopolitical events, corporate earnings reports, and investor sentiment. When market volatility is high , it can create opportunities for traders and investors to profit from price movements, but it also increases the risk of losses.

Market volatility is a key consideration for businesses and investors when making financial decisions. High volatility can lead to increased uncertainty and risk in the market, making it important for businesses to carefully assess their exposure to different assets and manage their risks effectively.
‍

How do these economic events affect housing prices?

Financial events can have a significant impact on housing prices. For example, when the Federal Reserve announces an interest rate hike, it can lead to higher mortgage rates, making it more expensive for potential homebuyers to borrow money. This can decrease demand for homes and ultimately lead to a drop in housing prices.

Similarly, changes in employment data can also influence housing prices. If there is a strong job market with low unemployment figures, more people may be able to afford homes and demand for housing may increase, leading to higher prices. On the other hand, if there is a significant increase in unemployment rate or economic uncertainty, potential homebuyers may hold off on purchasing a home, causing housing prices to decline.
‍

Do I need to monitor the forex market for my business?

Monitoring the forex market can be crucial for businesses that engage in international trade or have exposure to foreign exchange risk. Our Economic Calendar can be used as a tool that can help businesses stay informed about upcoming economic events and data releases that may impact currency markets.

By keeping track of key economic indicators and events such as interest rate decisions, GDP reports, employment data, and inflation figures, businesses can better anticipate potential changes in exchange rates.
‍

What are considered key inflation indicators?

Inflation is a key economic indicator that measures the rate at which the prices of goods and services in an economy are rising. There are several key inflation indicators that economists and policymakers closely monitor to gauge the health of the economy and make informed decisions.

One of the most commonly used indicators of inflation is the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI measures changes in the prices paid by consumers for a basket of goods and services over time. Another important indicator is the Producer Price Index (PPI), which measures changes in prices received by producers for their goods and services.
