One of the great challenges that many participants in foreign exchange (FX) markets face is sifting through the often overwhelming amount of information that is available. Media outlets stream updates on international politics economics and other factors that move FX prices twenty-four hours a day. It is difficult to work out what is and what is not important. This book helps its reader overcome these challenges by combining the insights gained from a market practitioner who has traded FX at Goldman Sachs PIMCO and Barclays Investment Bank with textbook-level modern financial macroeconomic theory. The book covers macroeconomics relating to exchange rate determination. While you could obtain this information from a disparate set of sources―textbooks academic literature industry research notes conversations with other market practitioners and theories cited in media reports―this book brings all of these sources together to translate the information into concrete FX views that are firmly rooted in the macroeconomic theory of risk premiums interest rates and inflation among other topics. The book promotes time consistent thought that avoids the daily temptation to jump from that day s economic narrative to the next. Of particular interest to buy- and sell-side industry practitioners finance and economics graduate students academics and others interested in FX markets this book teaches its readers how to do this and improve their own trading and understanding of the FX markets.
