This afternoon, we have gotten word from BOE Governor Mervyn King that Britons will lose some purchasing power and have a very, very rough year ahead, as having that disposable income is going to slowly dissapear.
So what is in store for tonight?
First, we are looking at Japan’s All Industries Index Monthlies will be read (look for magic number .3%)
Then the reserve Bank of Australia will release a Statement shortly thereafter.
Got only two things to mention for the afternoon report… So I will keep this one short and sweet.
Crude Oil Inventories…
It looks like everybody is using less oil in the US. We had only a decline of 1.2 million barrels, instead of a decline of 2 million barrels. Unfortunately, Oil is not picking up the message and dropping as much. The New York Mercantile Index is actually fluctuating up and down. Light Sweet Crude is at 135.61…
Then we have a speech from BOE Governor Mervyn King that will take place around a half an hour from now. I will cover the details on the Asian Market Report in a few hours from now!
Good morning my trading Americans! How did ya sleep? Sleep well? No?

Good morning traders! Ready to get some pips moving in the right direction? I know I am all for a great trade or two. Let’s break down some news.
First, recapping the asian market, a brief report…
So, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) released the minutes to their latest thoughts on Monetary Policy. Due to a stir crazy market on currencies and commodities, it has tied the hands of japanese economy, and really cannot give a clear signal to go either way in the rates for the BOJ.
In Australia, the Westpac Melbourne Insttitute released their monthly leading index to a number of .4%.
For the european news end of things today, nothing is going to be reported until at least a couple of hours from now. We will be waiting for Monetary Policy Committee Meeting Minutes and a bit later on, Confederation of British Industry - Industrial Trends Orders from England. Switzerland will release their ZEW expectations.
Have an awesome day trading the euro session! See you in several hours for the US market open!
