Could someone recommend any good educational material on Fundamentals.
How and why the news reports/economic data would effect the market etc...

Any ebooks etc?

any help would be appreciated
Thanks.

I moved your thread to this section http://www.forex-tsd.com/analytics/

Because there are a lot of materials in this section. Open this section and change "Display Options" from the beginning. There are alot of free signals, trading books, regular updated forecasting service (free) and so on.

There's a very good book by Frederic Mishkin, The economics of money, banking and financial markets. Give it a try.

I heard that Day Trading the Financial Markets by Kathy Lien is good.

babypips.com also quite good

Superman, Check this out!

http://www.forextv.com From that site go to Forex education, they got free video on fundamentals effect on dollor and so much more

Forexfactory.com will post the calender with explanations of eco data with expla of what they mean
