| About This Course |
|
This course will cover
critical economic principles that impact financial markets rather than worry
about micro/macro theory. We will introduce economic events and cover how to
differentiate between economic releases and economic indicators.
Next, we will do a
quick refresher on central banks and monetary policy before we dive into
specific examples such as the Federal Reserve (the Fed), European Central Bank
(ECB), Bank of England, and Bank of Japan, and discuss these institutions and
their policies in detail. After having learned about central banks, we will go
back to economic indicators and give examples of some of the more important
ones to be familiar with, such as gross domestic product (GDP), Consumer Price
Index (CPI), Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), and building permits. Finally,
we will end the course by discussing the impact on markets and how they should
react to economic news vs. how they react in real life.
