Economic Indicators Defnition

Certain economic parameters are used by economics and politicians alike to determine the state of a nation’s economy. Some of these parameters include employment reports, retail sales, consumer and producer inflation figures, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), interest rate decisions and manufacturing data. Economists look at the economic indicators and make prediction of what the figures will be every month. The extent of conformity or deviation of the actual figures from the consensus reached by economists in their predictions, affects the sentiment that traders have for the currency of the affected country, leading to either an increased demand for the currency or reduced demand. The extent of demand will ultimately affect the value of the currency vis-à-vis other currencies.

A calendar of these indicators is released every month for the benefit of everyone concerned, including forex traders. Economic indicators are known colloquially as forex news.
