Forex Market – Trading on the news / market event

 

When it comes to reacting to data reports and market events, the forex market typically displays two responses. The first reaction is a short-term, knee-jerk price response to the data report or news itself, which is where most of the intraday fireworks in the forex market go off. The second reaction, usually more important in the bigger picture, comes in later trading, when the underlying themes are updated to reflect the latest piece of news or data.

This makes trading a lot harder, because you know how the market will react but you dont know how much will it lag.
