Best News Information

Being new to Forex trading I am trying to find the best, most up to date, news source on the world wide web. A news source that updates immediately which can keep up with the economic indicators and other important relative news. Does anyone have any favorites that you can recommend?
Thanks for your reply!

Bloomberg!

Oanda's FXnews is a thompson-reuters feed. not sure if avail in demo accts.

The best is Trade the News. Up to the second. The only downside being there might be a little too much detail (if that's possible). They will give you a free trial.
