In this book Trevor Williams and Victoria Turton provide an invaluable guide, which I can recommend.” —David Smith, Economics Editor, The Sunday Times “High frequency trading algorithms have amplified the potential gains associated with the intelligent pre-emption of official data releases. Accurate, real time information on the global economy and its constituent parts has long been a Holy Grail for financial markets. The advent of technology capable of digesting Big Data raises the tantalising possibility that, in future, economic statistics will be derived not from laggard surveys and returns, but from the assimilation of public information on the internet in real time. MIT’s ‘Billion Prices Project’ points the way. For now, the evolving abundance of surveys, diffusion indexes, surprise and news-flow indicators makes for a baffling cacophony. Trading Economics takes a fresh look at the wealth of available economic information, sifts what is most important and explains why. For anyone keen to gauge the market-moving potential of economic data, this book is a valuable resource.” —Peter Warburton, Director, Economic Perspectives Ltd
