Module 7: Lesson 2: Read the News & Check the Calendar

Everything that happens in the world affects the financial markets in some way. Even events that aren’t clearly related to the economy have an effect on markets: the Olympics, for example, affects the economy of the host country and its national currency. These things can cause a chain reaction in financial markets; some may be small, but others can be so big they make worldwide news.
