If you work in finance, whether on a trading desk, in treasury, or even in a back-office role, you’ve probably crossed paths with foreign exchange (FX) or money markets. But seeing the numbers move and
understanding what drives them are two very different things.
This course is designed for professionals who want to move beyond headlines and rates, and truly understand how global currency and short-term funding markets function — practically, not just conceptually.
Over five days, we’ll unpack how currencies are traded in the real world, how money markets support liquidity in both corporate and public sectors, and how key macroeconomic forces — like inflation, interest rate decisions, or political instability — shape price action. You’ll look at what happens behind the screen: what traders are thinking, what risks they’re managing, and what strategies they’re using.
We also take a hands-on look at trading tools, including technical indicators and fundamental data analysis, and how these are used to make real-time decisions. Furthermore, we examine how to manage the risks associated with exposure to currencies or short-term markets — through instruments such as forwards, options, and swaps — and how to avoid the mistakes that can cost companies millions.
Finally, this course doesn’t just focus on today’s market. We also look at where things are going — from digital currencies and central bank digital initiatives to the growing use of AI, automation, and blockchain in how trades are executed and settled.
Whether you’re looking to become more confident in making or supporting FX decisions or want a more structured understanding of how these critical markets work, this course gives you the foundation, the vocabulary, and the insight to do just that.
