From the Back Cover
The US Federal Reserve is the world's most powerful central bank and as such is watched and analyzed by financial market professionals on all sides of the globe. And with good reason, for the consistent attention paid to "the Fed" reflects the bank's crucial position in influencing not only US economic policy but, in turn, economic policy worldwide.
In an age of information overload, Fed-Watching is designed to help finance professionals identify and decipher the important market signals indicated by the Fed's actions and to distinguish these signals from the "noise" of irrelevant information.
Fed-Watching demystifies the operations, objectives and impact of the US Federal Reserve, whilst delivering practical advice to potential "Fed-watchers" on how to analyze the bank's strategies and indicator's.
This book highlights how to interpret and predict the actions and reactions of the Fed — enabling readers to gain an inside view of the key factors affecting US interest rates and with them the prospects for the US dollar. This book provides guidance in the form of a well proven set of guidelines to follow for Fed-watchers seeking to gain a serious insight into the workings of the Fed.
Fed-Watching is essential reading for dealers, analysts, newcomers to the financial markets, and finance professionals across the board who need to maintain their edge at the forefront of developments in international financial markets.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent guide ..,
This review is from: Fed Watching: Making Sense of Market Information (Financial Times Series) (Paperback)
I bought the book 6 years ago and just started to read it recently (2010).. to my greatest regret, I should have done the reading much earlier...
After reading the book, my understanding of Fed operation has increased substantially. The author knows its subjects very well and the examples given in the book have substantially clarify certain confusing notion that plague me for many years. Since Fed is only game in town after 2008 crisis, I recommend anyone who needs to really know about Fed operation to read this book. Although the edition of the book is about 9 year old (1999), its contents is still relevant. The draw-back, which I consider minor, is the book does not cover Quantitative easing (QE).
