Hey folks,
I don't have as much time for a comprehensive signal today, but I'll try to cover everything briefly. The picture on the EU and GU is getting mixed, so my stance is a little more neutral now than bullish as it has been. Stocks have shown some initial signs of a top by breaking an aggresive trendline support, so I've decided to exit my longs there and take an initial stab at a short. A more clear trade will come with more confirmation though.
In news Tuesday we saw low US PPI figures actually lead towards USD/JPY weakness about as much as we expected. An expected but very dovish Bank of Canada tone really lit the USD/CAD on fire with a big fairly steady move of 210 pips over 2 1/2 hours. MUCH more than I expected. In news Wednesday:
0430 BoE Minutes - This one is difficult to preview as there is not much of a number to report. Out of the minutes though, any signs that they are looking to increase Quantitative Easing (QE) at the next meeting are a big GBP/USD negative, and any signs they are going to end their QE program at the next meeting will be a big GBP/USD positive. How far it moves is dependent upon how clear the language is.
2200 Chinese Real GDP YoY (9.0% expected) - This one will likely have an effect across the board on risk appetite and/or risk aversion. Keep in mind we're also getting Chinese CPI, PPI, IP, and Retail Sales data, so some big conflicts should probably keep you out to be safe. A big surprise here would probably lead to a clear AUD/USD and AUD/JPY move but typically it takes it's time and doesn't make much of a spike.
If it comes out at 9.2% or higher, AUD/USD and AUD/JPY should rally 30-50 pips over the course of 1-3 hours.
If it comes out at 8.8% or lower, AUD/USD and AUD/JPY should fall 30-50 pips over the course of 1-3 hours.
As far as running the Diamonds room is concerned, I've spoken with Felix about it and we've come to an agreement where I will continue to run the Diamonds room until a suitable successor is found. I'll keep you guys updated on the situation here, but it looks like Diamonds isn't going anywhere!
