Real average weekly earnings is the market indicator used in fundamental analysis. It is expressed in absolute terms and represents an index in relation to the previous period. The index slightly influences movement of prices, therefore, it is considered supplementary and can act as supportive to such indicators of fundamental analysis as major interest rates or non-farm. Real average weekly earnings accounts for inflation and is calculated in relation to 1982, which was conditionally taken for benchmark. Thus, this fundamental indicator can be considered as the inflation figure, which is caused by increase in earnings. Also it can perform as the indicator of rate consolidation: if increment of major interest rates of Central Bank is expected, then increase of earnings can tell about growth of national currency rate. Publication of data is made simultaneously with publication of Consumer Price Index at 8:30 a.m of New York time, regularly in the middle of every month.
Forex market has its driving forces. Such forces are participants of market. For clarity, it is accepted to divide them into several types: bulls, bears, pigs, rabbits, hogs, lambs. In this zoo, driving forces are exactly bulls and bears. Their clear intentions and determination can greatly influence currency rates. This terminology was adopted from stock market, where emotions play not the last role in movement of quotes, thus, analogy with animals and their typical behaviour provides a clear idea on psychology of market participant.
