Hey folks,
As usual, there's a lot of trading tidbits, market outlooks and chart analysis in the outlook video, so be sure to check it out:
01-07-2009.swf
Yesterday, UK Nationwide and EUR CPI Estimates had solid trades even though we chose to skip them. UK Services PMI came out high, but not high enough to satisfy our trigger, but still made a nice 30-40 pip move that was easy to make money on if you took it. Unfortunately though, US ISM Non-Manufacturing price action disappointed and despite a very strong positive deviation, it failed to give USD/JPY upside, so chances are you took a small loss if you traded it.
Tomorrow, Wednesday 1-7-09 we have one report worth watching:
0815 US ADP Employment Change expected at -493K, I expect a worse number to spark a USD/JPY sell-off unless people have already sold it hard based on rumors of a very bad number. The FOMC minutes earlier today hinted at very long lasting and significant jobs weakness. A higher than expected release will likely see a short term USD/JPY rise, but I think that rise will peter out and create a short opportunity as people may not trust the better number.
If it comes out at -400K or higher USD/JPY should go up by 30-40 pips, so it's a decent buy scalp opportunity, but also look to sell the top if it stalls out as I'm expecting a strong retracement or reversal.
If it comes out at -560K or lower USD/JPY should go down by 40-50 pips as the market already seems to be bracing for a horrible NFP number on Friday and this might be the last straw.
Our EUR/USD short position is continuing to work nicely for us and may be setting up to add more to the short depeding on your situation. Watch the second half of the video for more info.
