The Importance of Economic Indicators in Financial Markets
This is a version of the text published originally in the “Seminari de Finances de Barcelona – Càtedra Joan Sardà–” written by Daniel Carrasco Gómez and updated in July 2005.
Abstract:
Economic indicators are tools used to understand how an economy
is behaving in terms of growth, inflation, etc. The behaviour of these variables
is relevant to financial markets, such as interest rates, stock prices and
exchange rates. It is therefore of great importance to understand what kind of
information these indicators provide, together with the weight financial markets
give to each of them.
