Forex Links for the Weekend February 4 2012
The month opened with exciting trading. As Greece was partially put on the back burner, the US economy issues took over and provided a lot of volatility, culminating in the Non-Farm Payrolls.
The markets are now closed, and before we have a new week with critical rate decisions, its time to sit back and enjoy some long term reading. Here are my picks. There are quite a few this time, from here and from other sites. Enjoy:
