TVC:DXY   U.S. Dollar Index
In today's article, we will go into all the important events,
which are scheduled in the economic calendar, for the next week.

> Calendar week | 03 - - - 16. January 2023 – 20. January 2023



Let's briefly discuss what the listed events mean for your personal trading.

> When you want to trade a currency pair, you should always be careful that you do not accidentally get into an "event".

> These events can end in random volatility, which technical analysis does not respect, and therefore a possible loss.

> A strategy of "Market-Makers" is to liquidate both sides (short | long) to the event and then continue the participated direction.

MARKET INFLUENCE

Each of these dates, leads in the respective currency pair, to high / moderate volatility.

> Events that make the overall market volatile are mostly related to the USD.

= This is due to the fact that the USD has a position as an indirect world currency through global acceptance and thus has significant influence on the other currency pairs / economy.


To use an example to explain the influence of the USD on other currency pairs, let's look at the DXY (USD index).

The DXY is composed of the pairs:
EUR (57.6%), JPY (13.6%), GBP (11.9%), CAD (9.1%), SEC (4.2%) + CHF (3.6%)


When a positive metric is published for the USD = its value rises.

= The pressure on the currencies in the DXY basket increases.
= Thus they are "negatively" valued by traders.
= Sell-off


In summary, the higher the country's opinion on the global economy, the greater impact it takes on the overall market.
