We’ll be trading US Core CPI m/m release tomorrow. CPI or Consumer Price Index, also known as the “true cost of living”, is what drives Central Banks to raise/cut interest rate, therefore this release will be widely watched. Here’s the forecast for the CPI:
8:30am (NY Time) US Core CPI m/m Forecast 0.2% Previous 0.2%
ACTION: 0.4% BUY USDJPY / 0.0% BUY EURUSD
The Trade Plan
Our minimum tradable deviation for this release is 0.2%; if the release number (core) increases to a minimum 0.4% then we will BUY USD/JPY. If the CPI number decreases to 0.0% or less, we’ll BUY EUR/USD. Historically even at a difference of 0.1%, market is likely to exaggerate its move, therefore if either of our tradable releases is hit, there is about 80% of chance market will move 50 pips within the next 90 minutes or so.
We’ll be trading this release using our after news retracement trade method.

The Market
With Tuesday's PPI surprising the market at 0.2% (0.1% estimated) and Core Retail Sales slightly higher at 0.3% for the same month, Core CPI release will probably show that inflationary pressure for US in the month of May remained consistent with trend.
Considering that the headline Retail Sales surprised the market to the upside (-0.2% versus -0.5%), it is possible that the drop in average gas prices at the pump didn't take effect until the end of the month, and as a result the headline inflation should stay inline with expectation or slightly higher in my opinion.
Additional Thoughts
With FOMC focusing on Job/Economy more than Inflation, unless we get a huge surprise, market may very well ignore this release and fall back to the market trend prior to the release.
Pre-News Consideration
There is no pre-news bias for this release.
