Fundamentals and Rumours

Fundamental and Rumours often drive the Market. Although trading without the news is possible, being aware of what is going on is very important.

Im starting this thread because as a canadian trader I miss a lot of important news and rumours during the London hours. Being asleep during that period of the day, It can take me time to gather enough informations every morning. The Market is always open and we all have to sleep during a business day. The purpose of this thread will be to share the news and rumours. If everyone share a news and rumours while they are awake, they will be able to help the other trader who were asleep and vice versa.

Please avoid making calls. When someone make a call, he or she influence the decision of the other traders. I dont want any dispute on this thread on whether the Eur will touch 1.30 or how an another trader was wrong and is full of s***.

I believe in mutual respect, so please avoid insulting others.

Hopefully we will have trader from everywhere around the globe so if anything important is said or released, we will have a complete and accurate coverage of the event. I hope that we will be able to learn from each other and that this thread become very usefull for the whole Forum

happy trading everyone

There is one thing that I found on bloomberg but couldnt find it on Forexfactory News page :

The first question that pops to mind here is how do you actually 'trade' news and rumors? How are you going to control your risk and define your targets?

Its all about sharing the news and rumours. Its not about how do you trade them. If an important news or rumours is release and you know it, maybe I missed it or i was asleep. By sharing it here, i will be informed. When I get an important news or rumour, I will share it so that others can be informed to. Once its posted here , you do what you want of it.

The purpose of this thread is sharing. No one can stay awake during the whole day. By coming here, you will be informed. Hopefully, we will have trade for every hours so that we can cover the whole day.


Dont forget, do not make calls, just share the fact or the rumours.

Hope you will be part of this thread

I was hoping that the admin would move this thread to the " Interactive thread" section. How do I contact them for that ??

Summary of last week fundies and rumours :

Last week we had the Italian election and its disastrous impact on the Euro. The currency fell because of the uncertainty that these elections brought and on whether or not a coalition will be possible. The rumours are that a coalition will be possible, which would have a significant impact on the Euro once we ear it from Bersani and the other leaders.

On the American side, the fed was in support of his bond buying program, but because of the turmoils in Italy, that news didnt have a big impact on the USD. The sequester kicked in last Friday too, but with no impact, not even on the stock market.

For the coming week, I will be waiting for news on Italy. Any facts of rumours will be important. Any good news coming off Italy could have an important impact on the currency market


Have a nice week everyone and dont take too much risk cause the market could change its direction at any moment . Dont forget to share the fundies you guys find
