If for example inflation is getting too high we can expect the central bank to raise interest rates which will cause the currency to appreciate as investors migrate to this currency if however inflation is faltering we could expect the central bank to cut rates which will cause the currency to devaluate. The reason why this is so important is because the central banks make it very clear what their concerns are, they will tell the market through their statements what their concerns are such as employment, inflation etc the market then use this information to then trade off it. All in all fundamentals are the expectations of the market and what their expecting the central bank to do, whatever they’re expecting the bank to do that’s the way the currency will move in the medium to long term.
