Fundamental Analysis
This simple tool helps you make sense of fundamental analysis data for major currencies.
What’s fundamental analysis?
It’s the practice of looking at real-world economic data, like interest rates, inflation, GDP, and jobs, to figure out whether a currency is showing signs of strength (bullish), weakness (bearish), or somewhere in between (neutral). It’s not about guessing, it’s about understanding what the numbers are telling you.

|---|---|---|
Interest Rate
The interest rate is the benchmark rate set by a central bank, which influences borrowing and lending in the economy. Higher interest rates tend to attract investors seeking better returns, strengthening the currency. Lower rates usually weaken it because investors look elsewhere.

Inflation
Inflation measures how quickly prices are rising in an economy. Some inflation is normal, but when it’s too high, central banks often raise interest rates to bring it back down — which can strengthen the currency. Very low inflation or deflation can weaken the currency as growth slows

CPI
Consumer Price Index (CPI) tracks the prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, showing how much the cost of living changes. It’s the most widely used measure of inflation. Rising CPI can lead central banks to raise rates, strengthening the currency. A falling CPI can signal weak demand and weigh on the currency.

|
GDP
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the total value of everything an economy produces. A growing GDP signals a strong and expanding economy, which is good for the currency. Declining GDP suggests the economy is contracting, which tends to weaken the currency

Retail Sales
Retail sales show how much consumers are spending. Since consumer spending drives most economies, rising sales point to growth and can strengthen the currency. Weak retail sales often signal a slowing economy and a weaker currency.
|

|
Unemployment Rate
This shows what percentage of people who want to work can’t find jobs. A low unemployment rate means a healthy economy and a stronger currency. A rising unemployment rate is a warning sign of economic weakness and can weigh on the currency.

Geopolitical Events
Geopolitical events include wars, elections, political unrest, or trade disputes. When investors feel confident that a country is stable and safe, its currency benefits. But uncertainty or conflict tends to scare investors away, weakening the currency.
