- Introduction To The Forex Fundamental Analysis MasterclassThis introduction sets the stage for the entire programme, outlining how global economic forces shape the constant movement of currencies. It explains the purpose of fundamental analysis, introduces key macroeconomic themes like growth, inflation, and policy, and prepares learners to think beyond charts — understanding forex as a living reflection of confidence, stability, and global interconnection.1
- Module 1 – Understanding the Global Forex MarketThis opening module introduces the structure, size, and rhythm of the global foreign-exchange market. It explains how trillions in currencies are traded daily, who the key participants are—from central banks to retail traders—and how economic data, time zones, and sentiment combine to shape continuous 24-hour price movement.1
- Module 2 – The Fundamental Drivers of Currency ValueLearners explore the economic forces that determine currency strength or weakness: growth, inflation, and interest rates. The module examines how trade balances, fiscal policy, and political credibility affect investor confidence and long-term currency valuation.1
- Module 3 – Macroeconomic Indicators and Their Forex ImpactThis module breaks down major data releases—GDP, CPI, employment, PMI, and trade figures—showing how each reveals the health of an economy and influences central-bank policy expectations, market sentiment, and currency performance.1
- Module 4 – Inflation, Prices and Purchasing PowerStudents learn how central banks manage monetary policy, control liquidity, and maintain price stability. The module explores their mandates, tools, and communication strategies, explaining why every forex move ultimately traces back to central-bank action.1
- Module 5 – Interest Rates and Monetary PolicyHere we examine how interest-rate changes ripple through global finance. The lecture explains the transmission mechanism from policy rates to borrowing costs, inflation, and exchange rates, and why yield differentials drive major currency trends.1
- Module 6 – Labour Markets and Employment DataThis session focuses on employment’s role in economic health and monetary decisions. It explains how job creation, wages, and participation rates influence inflation expectations, consumer demand, and central-bank timing, with examples like US Non-Farm Payrolls.1
- Module 7 – Trade Balance and Current AccountsStudents learn how the flow of goods, services, and income across borders shapes currency demand. The module covers trade surpluses and deficits, current-account sustainability, and their long-term implications for competitiveness and exchange-rate trends.1
- Module 8 – Fiscal Policy and Government DebtThis module explores how taxation, public spending, and borrowing affect growth, inflation, and confidence. It explains why credible fiscal discipline supports a currency, while excessive debt or poor communication can trigger market crises.1
- Module 9 – Business and Consumer Confidence IndicatorsConfidence acts as an early signal of expansion or slowdown. Learners discover how sentiment surveys such as PMIs and consumer-confidence indices anticipate real-economy shifts and guide traders in forecasting policy and market direction.1
- Module 10 – Inflation Targeting OverviewStudents unpack how modern central banks anchor expectations through inflation targets, usually around two per cent. The lecture covers credibility, communication, and why consistent inflation control underpins stable currencies and investor trust.1
- Module 11 – Central Banks and Interest-Rate DecisionsThis module takes students inside the decision-making process of institutions like the Fed and ECB. It explains voting committees, statements, and press conferences, showing how subtle wording changes can move global markets instantly.1
- Module 12 – Commodity Prices and EconomiesHere, learners connect commodities such as oil, gold, and copper to inflation, trade balances, and currency values. It highlights resource-linked currencies like CAD and AUD and how global supply shocks ripple through forex markets.1
- Module 13 – Exchange Rates and CompetitivenessThis session explains how currency levels affect export strength and purchasing power. It explores nominal versus real exchange rates, purchasing-power parity, and why long-term competitiveness drives sustainable currency valuation.1
- Module 14 – The Balance of PaymentsStudents study how cross-border investment shapes exchange rates. Topics include portfolio and direct investment, yield differentials, and the role of global risk appetite in attracting or repelling capital to specific currencies.1
- Module 15 – Inflation and the Cost of LivingBuilding on trade and capital flows, this module explains the full balance-of-payments framework and how imbalances, financing methods, and investor perception combine to influence medium-term currency trends.1
- Module 16 – Fiscal and Monetary InteractionLearners explore how government budgets and central-bank policy must coordinate. The module highlights cooperation during crises, conflicts between stimulus and tightening, and why harmony between the two stabilises markets.1
- Module 17 – Economic Growth and Business CyclesThis session demystifies unconventional policy tools like QE and QT. It explains how central-bank balance sheets expand and contract, how liquidity injections affect yields and currencies, and what happens when stimulus is withdrawn.1
- Module 18 – Employment, Wages, and ProductivityThis module covers the labour-market forces that shape economic momentum. You’ll learn how employment trends, wage shifts, and productivity data influence inflation, policy decisions, and market direction — giving you a sharper macro edge in your trading models.1
- Module 19 – Consumer Spending and Retail SalesThis module focuses on household behaviour as the engine of growth. It explores income, wealth effects, and confidence, showing how changes in spending patterns signal turning points in demand, inflation, and policy outlook.1
- Module 20 – Investment and Capital FlowsHere learners discover how inflation forecasts shape yield curves, real rates, and forward pricing. It explains the difference between actual and expected inflation and why expectations often move currencies more than data itself.1
- Module 21 – Fundamental Trading StrategiesThe course turns theory into practice. Students learn how to combine macro data, sentiment, and valuation models to identify trading opportunities, compare currencies, and build disciplined, fundamentals-based positions.1
- Module 22 – Central Bank CyclesThis module teaches how to recognise phases of tightening, pausing, and easing across major economies. It explains policy divergence, forward guidance, and how anticipating pivots provides a major trading edge.1
- Module 23 – Global Economic InterdependenceLearners explore how trade, capital, and technology connect economies. The lecture illustrates how shocks in one region affect others and why forex analysis must account for the world’s deep economic linkages.1
- Module 24 – The Future of Forex and Global FinanceThe final module looks ahead to digital currencies, blockchain, and shifting global power. It explores how technology, sustainability, and decentralisation will reshape money, markets, and the evolving role of the forex trader.1
