What Is Fundamental Analysis
A 1-minute lesson from the MarketPro academy, one of 24 in fundamental analysis.
Fundamental analysis is the practice of evaluating an asset's true or intrinsic value by studying the economic, financial, and qualitative forces that drive it, rather than relying on price charts alone. For currencies and indices, this means examining data like economic growth, inflation, employment, and central bank policy.

For currencies and indices, this means examining data like economic growth, inflation, employment, and central bank policy. For individual companies, it means studying revenue, earnings, debt levels, and competitive position. The underlying idea is that prices eventually move toward what the underlying data justifies, even though short-term price action can diverge from it for extended periods.
