Trading during  these news events, which typically carry a lot of market volatility, is  a fast way to double your forex trading balance. Special attention  should be paid to the German Economic Sentiment report at 10:00 GMT, the  U.S Retail Sales at 13:30 GMT, and Federal Funds Rate at 19:15 GMT.  Will you take advantage of the impending volatility, or sit on the  sidelines and miss out?<\/p>\n<p>10:00 GMT- German Economic Sentiment<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tIt reflects the level of diffusion index based on surveyed German institutional investors and analysts.<br \/>\n\u2022\tThis indicator always leads to extreme market volatility in the major currency pairs.<br \/>\n\u2022\tIf the result turns out to be lower than forecasted, the EUR may record a fairly bearish session in today\u2019s trading.<\/p>\n<p>13:30GMT- US Retail Sales<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\tIt reflects the change in the total value of sales at the retail level.<br \/>\n\u2022\tThe release of the survey typically creates a volatile trading  environment, affecting not only the USD pairs but also the value of  Crude Oil and Gold.<br \/>\n\u2022\tA disappointing result could send the EUR\/USD above the 1.3500 resistance level<\/p>\n<p>19:15 GMT- U.S Federal Funds Rate<br \/>\n\u2022\tForecast shows that the number is expected to stay at 0.25%.<br \/>\n\u2022\tHeavy volatility is likely to take place at that time<br \/>\n\u2022\tThe impact of the Interest Rate decision may in fact strengthen the USD in the long run.<br \/>\n\u2022\tTraders should focus their attention on this release, as it is expected to be the highlight of the week for US markets.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/?zone_id=1398\" target=\"_blank\">Forex Market Analysis provided by ForexYard. <\/a><\/strong><\/em><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/?zone_id=1398\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2006 by FxYard Ltd<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: Trading Foreign Exchange carries a high level of risk and                                                                                                                                                                                                                may         not          be                              suitable             for               all                                                investors.
