In contrast to Micro Trading (which is industry specific), Macro Trading is taking advantage of changes within a large sector. Traders utilizing this strategy will study Macro factors to analyze and predict the future performance of a specific sector. They use economic data to inform decisions about growth, unemployment, and inflation. A popular form of Macro Trading is currency speculation (eg keeping track of prices of the Dollar vs the Rupee and looking to capitalize on mispricing).
