About FX Week

Published since 1990, FX Week is the one of the main sources of information about Forex. It is particularly useful for foreign exchange and money market professionals working within banks, brokerages, institutions and corporate treasuries.

It features lots of information on Forex, currency forecasts index (which banks are best when it comes to accurate currency forecasting), accurate analysis and commentary on the latest market developments, solutions to real-life problems from industry experts, the latest technology news.

Quality of News

First of al it’s necessary to mention, that full access to fxweek.com is only available to subscribers to FX Week and people who have signed up for a 2 week online trial. That’s why it was impossible to view all of the news and avaluate their content and writing style.

Due to the limited access to the website, the news are divided into several sections, the first of which is “Latest Free Content”. The latest news in it dates to 27 November 2006. It shows that FX Week doesn’t provide much important information to chance visitors.

The rest of news is divided into the following sections: Front Page News (visitors can see the headlines and a brief description of a news), just News (only headlines are of free access).

Apart from News

Another free piece of information on FX Week is an event Calendar. It is very well done – you should denote your time zone first, then the countries you’re interested in and after this procedure the Calendar will tell you whether there are any events this day or not and what are they.

The website also features Editors Letter, Exchange Opinion, Real-life Probles, Innovative Solutions and Currency Forecast, but they are not of free access.

Site Design and Ease of Navigation Comments

The design is quite pleasant, navigation is very easy.
Still, there is too much advertisement banners, some of which are flash. That may annoy some visitors, but tastes differ.

Advantages

• Fresh news, a wide variety of extra information.

Disadvantages

• There is one, but big disadvantage: most of the site is not available to chance visitors.
