It may interest you to know that the policy and spending decisions of the US Government has direct impact on the value of its dollar. Watching the federal interest rate, you will have insight on which way the dollar is heading.
It is because the Federal Reserve is controlling the US interest rate target. If the FEDS can foresee that the market US economy will likely overheat, inflation may result. To avoid inflation, FEDS will begin selling debt. Increased debt will decrease money supply. Less money supply and more demand for it will increase the value of the dollar. And if the dollar value has increased, the FEDS can then charge higher interest rate.
On the other hand, if interest rate is too high, the economy will go down. To avoid this scenario the Feds will then again produce more money into the market by buying debts and holding it. Then the supply of money has increased and if the demand is just the same, the result is decreased value of USD and then the charges on interest rates will be lowered down.
FEDS has so many tools at their disposal in controlling interest rates but buying and selling debts is one of the most effective and commonly used devices. Understanding these stuffs and watching them closely will be your ticket to becoming a successful forex trader.
