HI guys,
two questions here. I have been studying a course on macro fundamentals, which at the bedrock implies that inflationary conditions are bad for currencies, while deflationary conditions are good. I understand the argument, but actually I dont really see a strong correlation between GDP growth and currency performance. Should they not be quite strongly inversely correlated?
Secondly, a lot of the analysis takes the form of using statistical distributions to look for percentage changes outside of the norm. I just wonder how much of this is theory, and is it really an effective and efficient means to determine price movement? The course quoted above suggests 80% fundamental analysis vs. 20% technical. How would experienced traders view this?
thanks,
Tom

actually, my main point is, the majority of the analysis on the course focuses on performing througher endogenous analysis for each country to determine a inflationary/ deflationary bias. I am just starting to question whether this is needed or a good use of time?
