Good Morning and get ready for another wonderful trading session!

Europe’s market is a bit quiet, and Oil is shooting down fast! Maybe the SUV set would be more than happy to pump gas once again? Who knows!

With Europe’s Market, we are looking at Europe’s Consumer Confidence Levels and Switzerland’s Leading Index.

Forex Market Session July 23rd 2008

Good morning and welcome to another trading day! Are you making some serious pips out there? If you are great! If you are not at the time, just keep persistant and keep on educating yourself, you will get there in due time!!!

over the last couple of days I have received a few comments from loyal site visitors who expressed their experiences here at GoForexTrade.com. I do greatly thank you for the input and keep the comments coming! And again, thank you for visiting my site!!!

How about we get to some news on the Forex front, shall we?

Today will be a busy day and and we are looking at some heavy hitters. First, France will have numbers on Consumer Spending. This is compared on a month to month basis.

Italy will have the numbers for retail sales. This is also a monthly index which shows the fluctuation in retail purchasing.

England will have a few news reports coming out this morning around a couple hours from now. One of the heavy hitters we will mention is the Meeting Minutes from the Monetary Policy Committee. The minutes have a huge importance because it could mean a change in interest rate, banking regulations or another major issue in banking. At the same time, the British Bank Association will have their number for Mortgage Approvals.

Europe will then release their Industrial New Orders then England will cap out the European Market News with the Confederation of British Industrie’s Industrial Trends Orders.

In the US Market, we have a couple of heavy hitters to talk about. Canada first off, will release Their Core Commodity Consumer Price Index, then their regular Consumer Price Index.

The USA will then post Crude Oil Inventories. This will slightly affect the dollar compared to crude oil prices. Expect this one to be a bit high on inventories, which might drop the price of crude even lower! Maybe we can drive the SUV once again eh?

Then the US has this so called “Beige Book.” What is the deal with this? Well, the Beige Book is a compilation of data of the economic status and situations of the 12 Fed Districts in the US. This is usually done about a couple of weeks before Bernanke and the Boys get together over a few drinks, a couple of testimonies to congress and such, and determine if there is a need a for a change in bank rate.

For the Asian Market, We have a big bad heavy hitter in New Zealand with the Cash Rates being unveiled in Auckland around market open. Expectation is to keep the rate at it’s current level of 8.25%. Expect a statement shortly thereafter by the Monetary Policy Committees.

And in Japan, look for their Trade Balance to be released!

Again, to my fellow traders in the Forex Market, and also site visitors who are just visiting to see us..
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE!!!!

Have a great day, and as always…
TRADE ON!!!

Good morning!

Are you ready to make some serious pips?

Let’s talk about today’s trading news, shall we?
First, we will see Switzerland’s Trade Balance. The magic number is 1.62 Billion. To Conclude the European major news, we will see words from Bank of England’s Mervyn King along with Sir John Gieve, which he will be speaking to the Parliament’s Treasury Committee in London about banking reform.

In the US Market, we will see Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson at the New York Public Library speaking about reforms in the banking industry.

Also, we will hear words from Fed Member Plosser, speaking not about the cheesesteak index of course (Philadelphia Fed Governor Plosser we are speaking about here), but rather we will hear words at a Philadelphia Business Journal Luncheon. Philadelphia Business Journal, is a prominent local Philly newspaper that deals with all things business.

We will also get numbers later for the House Price Index Monthlies and Richmond Manufacturing Index.

Canada will release their Core and Regular Retail Sales this morning.

Later on when the Asian session opens up, Australia will release their Consumer Price Index, ad Trimmed Mean Consumer Price Index. The “Trimmed Mean” means that this CPI will exclude some of the most volatile items and commodities.

Have a great day and TRADE ON!!!

Forex Market Session: July 21st 2008

Good morning and welcome to the trading week! Monday is a very quiet day obviously, so we are going to use just one post to cover everything here instead of spreading ourselves thin. We would rather have blog posts that are full of information and engaging, instead of having a small blog post for quiet days like today.

The three BIG events we will have today in the Forex Market:
1815 GMT
Switzerland will release their Product Price Index.
1500 GMT
United States - Leading Index
0050 GMT 7/22/08
Japan will release the All Industries Activity Index Monthlies.

Yeah, it is going to be a quiet one for sure, but maybe you should take this opportunity and take a look at a new site we have just unveiled. Well, ok, not really that new, but it is a cool site that I revamped and reincarnated as a blog site.

ILiveInSuccess.com is the site, and we will have alot of non-forex things, from weight loss, to the semi-soon-to-be-famous Ferraris of the week, and product reviews to make life more fun and productive, not to mention more predictive sales incomes???


Good morning and welcome to another day of trading! Overnight, we seen Crude Oil take a small hike to a tad over $130 per barrel. Does this signify that this sellout of the Crude was only a profit taking session born on notice of the US relieving drilling bans, or is this just a slight buying session by scalp traders with large contracts? The session should test our theories and show us the true direction by the end of the US market.

So let’s go over the asian market shall we? It was only a few major news report through the session…

In Australia, The Import Price Index Quarterly failed to impress at 1.4%, under the consensus of 2.1%

The meeting of the Bank of Japan’s Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes resembles a similar tune to many monetary committees throughout the globe: Slowing economy, slowing consumption, Rising Energy Prices, and Inflation Fears. Another mention about the situation is, that Bonds have felt the pessimism and dropped along with the optimism. BOJ governor Masaaki Shirakawa has repeated the tone and warned about inflation and slowing growth on the Economy.

Ok, Time for the news in the European Market Session:

We are looking around 600 GMT for Germany’s Producer Price Index Monthlies.

Around  800 GMT a trio of English reports will come out. First we will hear Monetary Policy Committee Member Sir Johnathan Gieve. then at 830 GMT, we will hear both the M4 Money Supply and Public Sector Net Borrowing, a fairly light impact news item.

To cap off the European Market News, The Eurozone-13 will release their numbers for Trade Balance!

See you for the US Market Open. There will only be two items on the news, and it’s O Canada on this one!

TRADE ON!!!

Good morning and welcome to another trading day! Rejoicing after the sharp decline of Crude Oil? is the big oil suppliers shaking in their boots? Is the overall world economy going to improve! What to do! What to do!

Let’s cover some news from the Asian News Session and some from the US one as well!

United States:
Crude Oil Watch: $134.90 a Barrel on the Electronically trading New York Mercantile Exchange!
National Home Builders Association’s housing Market Index has decreased from 18 to 16.

The Federal Open Market Committee Minutes were primarily composed about all things interest rates. A few members of the FOMC are in full support of increasing interest rates, to stem off inflation worries. Also in the report, was their expectation of inflation reaching a moderation point sometime next year.

This morning, in the European Market Session, we are looking at only a couple reports and a very busy day in the US market. around 800 GMT, we will have numbers from Italy pertaining to Trade Balance, and Switzerland will have ZEW (way too long to pronounce, lol!) Expectations at 900 GMT.

I have at least ten releases to talk about in the US Market session later on today.

Have a good one and TRADE ON!!!

Also do not forget that we have a newsletter list now! ! !
