1. Knowledge of economic indicators and their analysis.
Economic indicators or economic data are one of the important reports that reflect the economic and financial situation of the country, which will help you know the strength of the currency of that country, and you must monitor and follow up on those indicators. These data include news of many sectors of the economy that are issued at different times, some of which are issued monthly or Seasonal or annual.
2. Inflation rates.

The economy of countries is affected by the change in inflation rates so that if inflation rates continue to rise, this means that the economic situation of that country is not good and therefore the value of its currency is weak, and therefore sales of that currency increase in order to buy currencies with a stronger value.
3. Interest rates.
Interest rates are important in fundamental analysis, and they are a strong indicator that mainly affects the currencies of countries and also reflects inflation rates and the monetary and financial policies of the country. The central bank of the country is the main controller in changing interest rates, and investors always tend to buy currencies with high interest rates. .

5. Stock indices for global stock exchanges.
The trader should be keen to know the rates of change in the stock indices of global stock exchanges, especially the average stock index of the country whose currency you want to trade.
6. Changes in the oil and metal markets, especially gold.
As a successful trader, you must know the size of the changes in the oil and metal markets.

While the United States is one of the largest importers of it, the higher the price of a barrel of oil, the lower the US dollar against the Canadian dollar and vice versa.
