This is the most important indicators in the forex market.
The interest rates make big movement and affect the currency for a couple of days . If central bank lower the interest rates this is a negative fact and after this announcement will attract the depreciation of that currency. Sometimes the declaration is more important then the announcement.
For example on 18- March -2009 Federal Reserve announce that the interest rates in USA remains the same between 0-0.25%. The Central Bank announce that will buy bonds in log term (6 mouths) in value of 300 billion dollars.
The result of this declaration is a deprecation of 307 for the USD.
This trading indicator is published by every central bank around the world but I will tell you the most important of them.
USD – Eight times in a year
EUR – In the first Thursday of every mounth
GBP – Every mounth till 10 at that mounth
JPY – Almost 14 times in year.
