About Piponomics
Economics play a huge role in the foreign exchange market. I enjoy looking at economic trends and trying to see how it affect currencies and life in general. I will post my thoughts and observations here. I'm throwing macroeconomics, forex trading, pop culture, and everyday life into a pot and hopefully the final product are lessons that are easy for you to consume.
