课程: Economics for Capital Markets

Course introduction

- Hi, everyone. Welcome to CFI's "Economics for Capital Markets" course. My name is Andrew Loo and I'm the Director of Capital Markets here at CFI. My purpose in developing this course is not to talk about classic micro or macro economic theory, but rather the focus on the practical side of economics so as to equip you for a career in the financial markets. In this course, we're going to start by exploring economic events and how to distinguish between economic indicators and economic releases. Then, we'll move on to central banks and how they conduct monetary policy. We'll go through a case study as well as go over the largest central banks in the world and their key policy measures. Afterwards, we'll dive deeper into economic indicators, and we'll also point out the ones that you should be familiar with. Later in the course, we'll discuss how markets react in an ideal world versus how they react in the real one. And we'll wrap up how market participants use and trade these economic indicators. Throughout this course, you'll be watching video lectures, participating in interactive exercises, and applying your knowledge in case studies. At the end of the course, you will take a qualified assessment to test what you've learned. Later courses will continue to draw on the main concepts taught in this course, so it's important to have a solid understanding of this material. Speaking of material, we've got a lot of ground to cover, so let's get started.
