Trading during these news  events, which typically carry a lot of market volatility, is a fast way  to double your forex trading balance; the wise trader knows this.  Special attention should be paid to the German Economic Sentiment report  at 10:00 GMT, the U.S TIC Long Term Purchases at 13:00 GMT, and Federal  Funds Rate at 18:15 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>This monthly report reflects the level of diffusion index based on  surveyed German institutional investors and analysts. This indicator  always leads to extreme market volatility in the major currency pairs.  If the results turn out to be lower than forecasts, then the EUR may  record a fairly bearish session in today\u2019s trading.<\/p>\n<p>13:00 GMT- USD TIC Long -Term Purchases<\/p>\n<p>The Long Term Purchases report measures the difference in value  between foreign long-term securities purchased by US citizens and US  long-term securities purchased by foreigner during the reported period.  This report has a direct correlation with the strength of the US  economy. If the end result will beat expectations for 59.3B, the USD  might strengthen as a result.<\/p>\n<p>18:15 GMT: USD \u2013 Federal Fund Rate and FOMC Statement<\/p>\n<p>The FOMC is scheduled to release its decision on short term interest  rates today. These monetary policy releases tend to have a stronger  impact than other economic reports since they factor directly into the  value of the nation\u2019s currency. Any increase to America\u2019s interest rates  will no doubt boost the USD, but expectations are for the rates to be  held steady today meaning traders shouldn\u2019t expect much change due to  this report.<\/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.
