Fundamental analysis deals with the external factors that move currencies. These factors might be quantifiable, like those that fall under the umbrella of economics or finance. There are also numerous qualitative factors, such as investor sentiment, political developments, and crises of various kinds. As I explained in Chapter 3, all of these factors can influence exchange rates, and determining just how this takes place is the job of the fundamental analyst.
