Features: This is a popular reading on macroeconomics and statistics. After reading this book, you will no longer skip through entire pages of macroeconomic statistical data, because every percentage point change in economic indicators is closely related to the securities assets you hold, the industries you invest in, the sectors you are involved in, and even the quality of your daily life. Economic indicators are not just dry numbers; they are the groundbreaking that reveal the market. For the major economic indicators proposed by commercial and government statistical agencies—such as the price index, employment rate, retail price index, real estate index, etc.—this book provides a complete explanation and elaborates on the deeper meanings of these indicators, their impact on interest rates, exchange rates, stock markets, and how and why the market changes in response to them. Additionally, the book offers brief guidance and advice on how to formulate personal investment strategies based on the continuously fluctuating statistical data.
