The Trader’s Guide To The Euro Area

The Trader’s Guide To The Euro Area: Economic Indicators, the ECB and the Euro Crisis is a user-friendly guide to understanding economic indicators specific to the European markets. It is aimed at institutional and retail investors and traders globally.

As the euro area remains in a state of flux and appears to be unsustainable in its present form, the outcome of the crisis may be unknown for years and a judgement on the project’s success or failure may be out of reach for decades.

In the meantime, analysts, portfolio managers and traders will still have daily, weekly, quarterly and annual benchmarks. They will have to analyse economic developments in the euro area and their impacts on financial assets.

The objective of this book is to provide a framework for that analysis that is comprehensible to most financial market participants.

Beginning with a focus on coincident and leading economic indicators for the euro area, this title includes sections looking at topics covering euro-area institutions; and the euro crisis – including an explanation of its origins, a glimpse at the potential outcomes and the tools needed to analyse the crisis as it evolves. 

The last sections of the book discuss information unique to the economies of Germany, France, the U.K., Switzerland, Sweden and Norway.
