Handbook of Key Economic Indicators - Second Edition

More about the book

Financial markets - stocks, bonds, foreign exchanges, commodities - move quickly and, at least on the surface, often in seemingly unexpected directions. To fully understand these market moves, financial professionals must first have a complete understanding of the nonfinancial economic indicators that drive them. Handbook of Key Economic Indicators, Second Edition, details the reasoning and logic behind the numbers, and provides a solid basis for understanding how they will affect markets. From in-depth analyses of traditional economic news releases to key questions readers should always ask when analyzing important data and reports (listed for ease of use at the end of each chapter), Handbook of Key Economic Indicators, Second Edition, moves beyond the superficial to help traders, investors, and financial analysts truly understand the content of economic and noneconomic indicators.
