Power Lesson 3: Knowing What Makes a Currency Move

Each currency has a unique personality cultivated through its native country’s history, political state, and economic fundamentals. Just as a country’s economy runs in cycles, currencies tend to repeat their patterns of behavior. Since currencies tend to repeat previous price patterns, if you know how a currency has reacted in the past to certain news, you can reasonably predict how a currency is likely to react again. 

Consider for example the Australian dollar. Given that Australia is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of gold, the Australian dollar is known to be very sensitive to gold prices. When gold prices rise, the value of Australia’s exports rise and the country’s economy becomes more robust. As a result, demand for Australian dollars rise leading to an increase in their value. Indeed, those trading the Australian dollar pay close attention to the gold markets.
