The skill of analyzing the current situation in the foreign exchange market and the ability to make predictions about its state in the future is very relevant. And in order to make profitable trading on the online currency exchange, it is worth taking into account the following factors that affect the exchange rate:
• Geopolitical events: unstable political situation, wars and revolutions, split of the country or frozen conflicts;
• Force majeure situations: floods, earthquakes, various natural disasters that are not controlled by humans;
• The policy that central banks adhere to – it is the Central Bank that is the key institution that maximally influences the rate of the national currency. It is he who implements monetary policy and can quickly influence the change in exchange rates on the exchange online using tools such as: interest rate fluctuations, money emission, quantitative easing, open market operations, etc.
