http://www.Options-Trading-Education.com - Trade Options on the US Economic Recovery - As the recession continues to lift in the USA is it time to trade options on the US economic recovery? Traders may choose to engage in foreign currency options trading, trading options on US stocks, or options trading of commodities. In each case a slow but sure US economic recovery will likely set trends. However, the specifics for those choosing to trade options on the US economic recovery will differ from Forex, to commodities, to stocks. The United States Department of Labor Statistics released its most recent report on January 6, 2012. The US unemployment rate fell and non-agricultural employment rose by two hundred thousand. According to the report, “Job gains occurred in transportation and warehousing, retail trade, manufacturing, health care, and mining.” Here are the US unemployment figures for the last year. January to November figures are revised and are final numbers while the December figure is just announced and subject to revision next month.
