Governing Council

The Governing Council of the European Central Bank (ECB) is the key decision-making body of the ECB and is responsible, among other things, for determining monetary policy in the eurozone. It consists of the six members of the ECB Executive Board plus the governors of all euro area national central banks – currently 20 of them.

The council meets every six weeks to determine interest rates, asset purchases, and other policies. All of its decisions have an impact on borrowing rates, inflation, and exchange rates throughout the whole area of the single currency.

Example: The Governing Council has shifted gears several times, with inflation surging in 2022 and reaching double-digit rates in some euro-area economies, prompting it to go from years of ultra-loose policy to one of the most aggressive hiking cycles in ECB history. Its decisions can move the euro, European bonds, and borrowing costs from Dublin to Athens. The council’s diversity – from the economies of Germany to Greece – makes it so that discussions are truly participatory as the hawks and doves debate policy before a decision is reached.

GPU Mining

GPU mining is a form of cryptocurrency mining that uses graphics processing units (GPUs). These chips render graphics in video games, to solve the mathematical problems that validate blockchain transactions. The parallel architecture of GPUs made them ideal for this kind of computing, particularly for repetitive calculations that CPUs could not perform as efficiently.

The largest GPU-based cryptocurrency before the transition to proof-of-stake in 2022 was Ethereum. One of the most significant side effects of the mining boom is that graphics cards have become extremely expensive,, so gamers are unable to get cards at retail price.

Example: During the crypto boom of 2020-2021, a mid-range graphics card sold for more than $ 1,000 on secondary markets, while miners snapped up any they could get their hands on for $400. With Ethereum being switched to proof of stake and GPU mining for ETH becoming irrelevant overnight, a wave of second-hand mining cards flooded the market at the same time, finally allowing gamers to get that hardware access that they had been denied for the past 2 years by the miners who had been buying out the market.

Gravestone Doji

A gravestone doji is a candlestick with the open and close near the same price, and a long upper wick extending far above the open and low. It resembles an upside-down T. The shape is quite indicative: buyers aggressively pushed the price higher during the session, but sellers retook control and brought the price back to the open by the close.

That long upper wick is the visual record of a failed rally. A gravestone doji following a long bull market, especially at a significant resistance area, may indicate a possible loss of momentum.

Example: When a currency pair experiences a significant positive move over the course of two weeks, followed by a gravestone doji at a significant double-digit resistance level, the pattern is considered a gravestone doji. Buying pressure was intense during that session, setting new highs before the market was unable to sustain the trend. The next day, the pair opens flat and begins to sell off. The gravestone marked the high of the move – a potential warning, visible in real time to anyone watching, that buying momentum may have weakened at that level.

Green investing

Green investing involves investing in environmentally sustainable organisations or projects.

Green-chip stocks

A type of stock that comprises publicly traded companies that emphasise on environmentally-friendly and sustainable practices.

Greenback

An informal term for the US dollar, “greenback,” comes from the green ink used on the reverse of US paper money during the Civil War. It’s stuck, and ever since, it has been adopted as a convenient currency shorthand in financial markets, news reports, and all kinds of conversations.

It’s used repeatedly in trading contexts, especially in forex chats, where “greenback strength” or “greenback weakness” is an established way to refer to dollar movements. When the dollar moves significantly, its role as the world’s reserve currency can influence global financial markets, commodity prices, emerging market economies, and international capital flows.

Example: A macro analyst states that greenback strength is putting pressure on commodity prices as hotter-than-expected US inflation data comes into focus. The dollar has appreciated, and with most commodities typically priced and traded in US dollars, the stronger dollar can make them more expensive for foreign buyers, potentially reducing demand and putting downward pressure on prices.
