Economics for Capital Markets

Corporate Finance Institute introduces the relationship between economic information and capital markets. Economic events, central banks and indicators lead into a discussion of releases. The course provides a market-oriented context for economic concepts; it does not establish that an indicator can predict a profitable trade or remove market uncertainty.

What you will learn

• Distinguish economic events from indicators.
• Explain a central bank’s role in the economic context.
• Describe how releases can inform a market discussion.
