The Norway interest rate statement came out as expected so no trade here.

At 8:30 a.m. we had U.S. Durable Goods X Transportation which came out much higher than expected (by 3.0). USD/JPY was already on the up trend. USD/JPY moved by about 50 pips in the first 4 minutes. Some people tried to wait for the reversal sign and enter the other way which is also a good way to make a few pips. I hope you were able to make some money on it.

Let's talk about tomorrow.

At 2:00 a.m. we are going to have UK Nationwide House Prices m/m. I would trade it with 0.5 trigger. If it comes out at 0 or higher, I would be looking to buy GBP/USD or GBP/JPY and expect 30 to 40 pips price action. If it comes out at -1.0 or lower, I would sell GBP/USD or GBP/JPY and expect 30 pips move as well. Smaller deviation still should create some price actions and you might get a good trade too but 0.5 is a very stable trigger.

At 3:15 a.m. we will have Swiss Employment number and at 3:55 a.m. we will have German Employment number so expect some price actions on CHF and EUR around that time. In general, higher unemployment is bad for the currency, and lower unemployment is good for the currency. Unfortunately, I don't have triggers for Swiss and German Employment.

At 8:30 a.m. we will have U.S. GDP, Initial Jobless Claims and Core PCE. The PCE will not matter this time so we can be focused on the GDP and the job market. The GDP annualized is expected to come out at 0.9%. I would be looking to trade a deviation of 0.4. If it comes out at 1.3% or higher, it would be positive for the U.S. dollar and I would buy USD/JPY and look for 40 pips move in the first 20 minutes. If it comes out at 0.5% or lower, that would be bad for the U.S. dollar, and I would sell USD/JPY and look for 40 pips move as well. However, a lot of people don't trust the GDP number saying that the U.S. government is "manufacturing" the numbers to eliminate the panic on the market. On the other hand, there are a lot of economists saying that now it is the time to buy things, and this is the time when things can get better. Such different views can provide some confusion on the price action. Also, we will have U.S. Initial Jobless Claims coming out at the same time. This can provide some confusion on the price action. Lately, we did not see huge deviations on this report. What I would do is use the Initial Jobless Claims report as a back up data so if the GDP comes out pretty close to expectations but the Initial Jobless Claims deviates in the same way, then I would enter a trade as well. If it comes out at 390 K or higher, it should be bad for the U.S. dollar and you should see some selling pressure. If it comes out at 350 K or lower, you should see some positive pressure on the USD/JPY. I think, however, people will care more about the GDP than the Initial Jobless Claims. For the extra informations, please watch the video.
