Analytical approach
Vinit's analysis aims to answer three questions:
- What moved the market?
- What evidence helps explain the move?
- What developments could change the outlook?
Market analysis necessarily involves interpretation. When an article discusses a possible outcome, trading scenario or directional view, it represents analysis based on the information available at the time. It is not a guarantee that the outcome will occur.
Where the evidence supports more than one possible outcome, the analysis should identify the principal alternative scenarios and risks.

Vinit is also involved in Edge-Forex Managed Services, a paid commercial service connected to the Edge-Forex brand.
This relationship is disclosed because the service may trade markets discussed on Edge-Forex. Published analysis must not be altered, delayed or withheld to benefit an existing or planned commercial trading position.
