Kansas City Manufacturing Survey
A monthly read on factory activity across the Federal Reserve’s Tenth District, which covers Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, and slices of western Missouri and northern New Mexico. The Kansas City Fed polls manufacturing executives about production, new orders, employment, delivery times, and inventories, then boils the responses down into a headline composite index. The convention is simple: a reading above zero signals expansion, below zero signals contraction, and the distance from zero indicates the degree of expansion or contraction. Traders watch it partly for that growth signal and partly for its price components, which offer an early indication of inflation pressure building or fading along the industrial supply chain. It is only a regional survey, so nobody treats it as gospel for the whole US economy, but alongside the other regional Fed surveys it helps build a picture ahead of the national ISM report. Example: The July 2026 survey came in positive but softer than the month before, indicating that Tenth District manufacturing was still expanding, just at a more moderate pace than earlier in the year.
Kathy Lien
One of the more recognisable names in retail-facing FX analysis. Kathy Lien built her reputation as a currency strategist, spending years as managing director of FX strategy at BK Asset Management and appearing regularly on CNBC, Bloomberg, and across the financial press to explain what was moving the majors. She is probably best known to newer traders for her book Day Trading and Swing Trading the Currency Market, a fixture on beginner reading lists that popularised the idea of trading currencies around economic data and shifting interest-rate expectations. Her style leans on fundamentals, central-bank watching, and the interplay between rate differentials and risk sentiment, rather than pure chart patterns. Whether or not you follow her specific calls, her commentary helped shape how a whole generation of individual traders learned to frame the FX market. Example: Ahead of a European Central Bank meeting, a new trader searches for Kathy Lien’s preview to understand the factors that could influence the euro if Christine Lagarde signals another rate move, using her breakdown of the rate-differential story as a starting point rather than an outright trade signal.
Kazakstan Tenge (KZT)
The tenge is the national currency of Kazakhstan, carrying the ISO code KZT and usually shown with the symbol ₸. It replaced the Soviet-era rouble in November 1993, not long after independence, and is issued and managed by the National Bank of Kazakhstan. Because Kazakhstan is a major oil and commodity exporter, the tenge can be sensitive to energy prices; when crude falls hard, the currency has often come under pressure, and the central bank has more than once been forced to abandon a defended level and let it slide. The most dramatic example came in August 2015, when the authorities dropped the managed arrangement and moved to a free float, and the tenge lost roughly a quarter of its value almost overnight. It is not a currency most retail traders touch directly, since liquidity can be relatively limited and spreads can be wider, but it matters to anyone following commodity-linked emerging-market FX. Example: An emerging-market fund tracking oil exporters watches the tenge weaken alongside a slump in Brent crude, using the move as one indicator of stress across petro-currencies rather than a standalone trade.
Keep the powder dry
Old military advice repurposed for the dealing desk. Musket powder was useless once it got wet, so a soldier kept his dry until the moment he actually needed to fire. Traders borrowed the phrase to mean holding capital in reserve rather than deploying it into every setup that flickers across the screen. It is a discipline as much as a tactic. Keeping the powder dry means sitting on cash, resisting the itch to be fully invested, and waiting for a setup with genuine edge rather than forcing trades out of boredom. The instinct runs against human nature, which hates watching a market move without being in it. But capital that is already committed may have less flexibility to respond to the opportunity that shows up later, often the better one. Professionals talk about this constantly ahead of major risk events, when the smart move is frequently to do nothing at all. Example: A macro fund manager trims her positions to almost nothing the week before a US election, telling her desk she wants to keep the powder dry until the result, and the market’s first reaction to it, are both clear.
Keiretsu

Keltner Channel
A volatility-based envelope plotted around price, built to show when a market is stretched relative to its own recent range. The middle line is an exponential moving average, usually over 20 periods. The upper and lower bands are drawn a set multiple of the Average True Range above and below that average, the multiplier commonly 1.5 or 2. Because ATR expands when a market turns choppy and contracts when it calms down, the channel breathes with volatility, widening in fast conditions and tightening in quiet ones. The concept traces back to Chester Keltner in the 1960s and was later refined into the ATR-based version most platforms use today. Traders read it in two broadly opposite ways: as a mean-reversion tool, fading moves that poke outside the bands, or as a breakout tool, treating a decisive close beyond a band as momentum worth following. It is often compared to Bollinger Bands, the key difference being ATR versus standard deviation. Example: A swing trader sees price close firmly above the upper Keltner band after a long, narrow stretch, interprets it as a potential volatility breakout, and considers a long position rather than fading the move.
