Forex analysis is how traders assess the next moves a currency pair is about to take, providing insights for taking a position. For this reason it is an essential tool for traders to make the best decisions in their daily trading routine, based on the fundamental and technical aspects of an asset.

Technical analysis focuses on previous price action, the repeat of well-known chart patterns, and other factors.

FX in Depth
Gold demand in India is relatively inelastic due to its cultural significance, predominant use in weddings, and investment purposes.
