For me, the easiest market to win in and the market that's hard to win in [Shintaro Fudou]

Know the Themes of the FX Market

Many market participants pay attention to and are moved by news that drives market movements, calling these “themes of the market.” Such themes are repeatedly reported in newsletters and on the home pages issued by FX brokers. This year’s FX themes include the United Kingdom’s Brexit from the European Union (EU) and the U.S. presidential election, as well as rate cuts by major countries. Central banks’ rate decisions have long moved FX, and from last year through this year, the timing of rate cuts in various countries is drawing even more attention. In 2019 many countries lowered rates, and in 2020 both the United States and the Euro area are expected to do so.
