World Event Trading: How to Analyze and Profit from Today’s Headlines
$22.65
World Event Trading provides a professional framework for understanding how global news, macroeconomic policy, and geopolitical developments translate into real market movement. Written by Andrew Busch—former global FX strategist and policy insider—the book teaches traders and investors how to interpret headlines not as isolated events, but as drivers of expectations, capital flows, and regime shifts across financial markets.
Rather than encouraging reactive “headline chasing,” Busch emphasizes context, anticipation, and probability. Readers learn how markets price expectations before news is released, how reactions differ from outcomes, and why many widely reported events fail to move price at all. This approach allows traders to identify which events truly matter and how positioning and sentiment amplify or neutralize their impact.
The book covers central bank policy, interest-rate decisions, macroeconomic data, elections, geopolitical crises, and systemic shocks, explaining how each category affects currencies, equities, rates, and commodities differently. Busch also addresses the mechanics of volatility expansion, liquidity contraction, and execution risk—critical elements for anyone operating around major news releases.
By combining macro reasoning with disciplined scenario planning and confirmation, World Event Trading equips readers with a repeatable, risk-aware methodology. It is not a prediction-based system, but a structured way to align macro insight with market behavior—making it especially valuable during periods of uncertainty and transition.

Busch has written a fascinating and insightful guide to how the markets are affected by political and natural events in the news–from scandals to plagues to hurricanes and beyond…this book is an essential addition to the trader’s (and fundamental analyst’s) knapsack.

Through his years of real expertise, Andrew is able to clearly state cause and effect relationships on financial markets of many different headlines. (Some of this is real world scary stuff that we as investors should be concerned about). This is a good book to help a reader understand various market scenarios and their potential outcomes.

Excellent advice and technique on how to use current events to your advantage when reading market movement. The author uses past events, everything from politics to mother nature, to show how you can predict market movement, and even looks into the future to predict what we can prepare for next.

if you have ever heard andrew busch talk on cnbc. you won’t be bothered to buy this book. his opinion are normally opinion without data to back up on. he was asked to give grade to the obama administration performance in economic recovery and he gave them a C or D. based on what! and now the market is recovering. so forget about this book. waste of time!
like the other gentleman giving him a 1 star, his opinion are superficial, you won’t analysed data in it. if there is a no star rating, i would have given it!

The fast information flow in the Internet age today dramatically intensifies trading activities and creates frequent yet fast-disappearing trading opportunities. This informative book guides readers to have a game plan for when such opportunities strikes, such as the example in the book on the 2002 SARS outbreak in China and other Asian regions. As the emerging economies such as China increasingly make significant impact on the global markets, the world trading platform will become ever more dynamic and complex. This book is a good start for traders to get ready for that.

This book is just a puff piece of cobbled together homilies, of practically no use to investors. If you liked “Tipping Point” and “Black Swan”, you’ll love it.

I’ve always considered myself a student of the market. From this perspective, I categorize the knowledge that needs to be learned in order to survive and prosper (hopefully!) in the market into two broad categories: 1) Learning about trading techniques (fundamental, technical, psychological), and 2) Learning about market dynamics.
Andrew Busch’s book “World Event Trading” according to my categorization definitely fall under learning about market dynamics. In my opinion, the book’s name is a bit of a misnomer (a better name in my opinion would’ve been “Market Dynamics at World Events”) mainly because the book ISN’T really about setting up opportunistic trades during major world events. On the other hand, Mr. Busch does a very good job showing you how different markets (stocks, currencies, etc.) respond to major world events (infectious diseases, naturla disasters, politics) while not forgetting putting the event in the context of what was going in the world when the event was occurring (which I thank him for it). In Mr. Busch words, “The purpose of this book is to get the reader to make better decisions on what is possible and what are the permutations of the events”, and I think the author stayed faithful to this purpose througout the book.
What did I benefit from reading this book? The main benefit to me as a trader was developing what Dr. Brett Steenbarger calls “Differentiated Market Views”. I began to think of a higher order of complexity. For example, I began to see how markets are interconnected and how “this” is related to “that” and how I can profit from the relationship. To summarize, this book enables a trader to develop increasingly complex models of the world by examining past world events.
