Is there a flowchart to show interrelationships of news events?

Hi,

Is there a flow chart anywhere? Or if not a book or article that describes in the most concise manner how the outcome of one or a series of reports or statements affects the next scheduled one coming up?

There may be but nothing I have ever heard. I would think it would have to be constantly updated to be of any value. As an example in the 80's and into the 90's the big trade news item was money supply figures. Now they no longer hold much weight in determining interest rates and therefore currency valuation.

Today in the internet age if a "new" market moving report is developed it is added immediately and maybe an older one dropped.

The only way to stay abreast of what is hot and what is not is to read/research across a broad array of sources.

are there any good nice short articles / ebooks that explain the main news events and how they relate to one another. As well as how their relevance changes depending on the prevailing mood of the market?

I'm just trying to find something that serves up a good foundation, without having to read anything unnecessary (and thus potentially throwing more confusion into the mix)

Sounds like someone need a lesson in fundamental. Why don't you go pick up Mr Big Ben's book to get inside his head?
