THIS BOOK EXPLORES the application of intermarket analy-sis to the foreign exchange market, the world's largest and most widely traded financial market. Intermarket analysis helps traders identify and anticipate changes in trend direction and prices due to influences of other related markets as financial markets have become interconnected and interdependent in today's global economy.These markets include forex futures and options as well as major cash forex pairs, which are affected not only by other currencies but by related markets such the S&P 500 Index, gold, crude oil, and interest rates. As the world economy of the twenty-first century continues to grow and as new advances in information technologies continue to be introduced, financial markets will become even more globalized and sophisticated than they are today, increasing the central role that the forex markets play in the global economy.Since its introduction in the 1980s, intermarket analysis has become a critical facet of the overall field of technical analysis because it empowers individual traders to make more effective trading decisions based upon the linkages between related financial markets.

It will interest both experienced traders and newcomers to forex markets who are inclined toward technical analysis and recognize the potential financial benefits of incorporating intermarket analysis into their trad-ing strategies.
