Editörün Seçimi
EUR/USD Almanya enflasyon verileri öncesinde 1,0950'nin altında yukarı yönlü ivme kazanmakta zorlanıyor
EUR/USD paritesi cuma günü erken Avrupa seansında 1,0935 civarında savunmada kaldı. Perşembe günü ABD enflasyonunun beklenenden daha yüksek çıkması dolara bir miktar destek sağladı ve paritenin yukarı yönlü hareketini sınırladı. Beklenenden daha güçlü eylül ayı istihdam raporu ile birleşen daha sıcak ABD Tüketici Fiyat Endeksi (TÜFE) rakamı, ABD Merkez Bankası'nın (Fed) gelecekteki faiz indirimlerinin kademeli olması ihtimalini güçlendiriyor. CME FedWatch aracı, TÜFE'nin açıklanmasının ardından yatırımcı
Ons Altın fiyatı, zayıf ABD istihdam verilerinin ardından tanıdık bir işlem aralığına geri döndü
Ons Altın fiyatı (XAU/USD), Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) istihdam verilerinin, Federal Rezerv'in (Fed) kasım ayı politika toplantısında faiz oranlarını düşüreceği beklentilerini güçlendirmesiyle cuma günü 2.630$ seviyelerinde işlem görmeye başladı. Faiz oranlarının düşeceği beklentisi Altın için yükseliş anlamına geliyor zira böyle bir durum faiz ödemesi olmayan bir varlığı elde tutmanın fırsat maliyetini azaltarak onu yatırımcılar için daha cazip hale getirecektir.
DOW JONES or DJIA
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), also called “Dow Jones” or “the Dow” is a price-weighted average of 30 significant stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), approximately two-thirds of which are represented by companies producing industrial and consumer goods. “Price-weighted” means that each company is assigned a weighting based on its stock price. It was created by The Wall Street Journal editor Charles Dow in 1896.
If the DJIA rises by 10 points comparing to yesterday, it means that the cost of purchasing the 30 stocks in the index today is $10 higher than purchasing those same 30 stocks yesterday, taking into account stock splits and dividends.
Over time, the DJIA can be used as a benchmark for the economy

ORGANIZATIONS, PEOPLE AND ECONOMIC DATA THAT INFLUENCE THE DOW
Since the Dow Jones is a benchmark of American stocks, what will impact its value is related to all those decisions and figures that affect the results of big companies in the United States of America. That is, among others:
- Economic indicators of inflation (CPI, PPI,...), consumer confidence (as Michigan Consumer Confidence Index), growth (GDP), employment (Non Farm Payrolls) and salaries (Average Hourly Wages). An economic indicator is a statistic about an economic activity. Economic indicators allow analysis of economic performance and predictions of future performance.
- interest rates decided by the Federal Reserve System (Fed) which is the central banking system of the United States of America. It was created on December 23, 1913, with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act, after a series of financial panics led to the desire for central control of the monetary system in order to alleviate financial crises. Jerome Powell is the 16th Chair of the Fed.
- Fiscal policy, trade deals, business laws decided by the US administration (Joe Biden, the 46th and current president of the United States, assuming office on January 21, 2021), but also by the US Treasury Department (Janet Yellen, serving as the United States Secretary of the Treasury as part of the Cabinet of Joe Biden) and the US Department of Commerce which is an executive department of the federal government concerned with promoting economic growth (Wynn Coggins, United States Secretary of Commerce).
- Energy prices (electricity, oil,...), because they have impact on production costs for those companies. A fixed-rate tariff sets the cost of energy for a certain amount of time, while prices on a variable tariff can go up or down according to the market. The price of energy depends on a range of different supply and demand conditions, including the geopolitical situation, the national energy mix, import diversification, network costs, environmental protection costs, etc...
