Bloomberg Market Concepts
Bloomberg Market Concepts (BMC) teaches you how the global financial system actually works by walking you through the major forces that move markets and showing you how professionals analyze them using real Bloomberg data. Throughout the course, you learn how economists and investors interpret economic indicators such as GDP, inflation, employment reports, and consumer sentiment to understand the health of an economy—and why markets often react before the data is released. You also learn how currencies function within the global economy, what drives exchange rates, how central banks influence currency values, and how traders evaluate one currency against another using concepts like interest-rate differentials and capital flows. BMC teaches you the mechanics of bonds, yield curves, credit spreads, duration, and how interest rates affect both borrowing costs and investment returns. You analyze how government and corporate bonds reflect expectations of economic growth, inflation, and monetary policy, and you see how market participants evaluate risk using spreads and rating changes. In the equities module, you learn how to interpret stock valuations, earnings reports, indexes, and industry comparisons. BMC walks you through concepts like market capitalization, P/E ratios, dividend yields, and the drivers of stock performance—from macroeconomic trends to company-level fundamentals.
