Hello, and welcome to another awesome Forex Market Week! Are you ready to make some good pips this week? Let’s get into the news from Asia’s market, and then talk about the rest of the day.
For starters, Oil is just a bit over $123 at writing.
New Zealand has released their trade balance, which was at a deficit at -.22 Billion, but surpassed consensus’s bid at -.4 Billion. Way to go!
Australia had a couple of items on the list for yesterday, first being some words spoken from Reserve Bank Assistant Governor Dr. Guy Debelle. The podium piece was at a conventon about debt, something some of us for sure know first hand!
The second item that was on the docket was the National Australian Bank’s Quarterly Business Confidence has dropped to twice it’s previous number at -8.
Going into the European Market, we have German Consumer Confidence, which is coming in at a decline at 2.1 previously at 3.6.
The Us Market is just about quiet, but we will be expecting some word from Federal Open Market Committee member Frederic Mishkin.
The Asian Market Session later on will be the busy one here, starting with New Zealand’s Monthly Building Consents, (These are Building Permits actually, to eliminate Confusion.)
Japan has a trio of events happening. Starting with overall household spending over last year in comparison. Also look for Retail Sales, and the Unemployment Rate.
Australia comes on the map to close out the news with the Leading Index Monthlies.
Good morning! Making any serious pips on Bernanke’s Comments, or any of the other bastions of Forex News on the dollar today?
Let’s cover the european session and then we will discuss the US markets.
Today we had Consumer Price Index numbers read from Germany, France and the EU. Germany’s Final CPI was at .3%, France’s CPI was at .4%, and Europes Core Commodities CPI was 1.8% while the regular CPI was at 4%, all increases.
Switzerland had nearly doubled their expectation on their Retail sales outlook on a gain of 7.4% from this time last year! Wow! Only if the US could pull such a feat!
England also had their jobs report come out as well this morning. The Claimant Count Change, is basically unemployment claims, and they had increased 15,500 claims, over 10K on consensus. The average earning index did not disappoint at 3.8% as well as the unemployment rate did go down a bit at 5.2% compared to the previous 5.3%.
So what is happening in the US Session?
A LOT! Canada starts off the bell with Manufacturing Shipments, which came in 2.7%, up from 2.1% on last month.
The US market has a ton of news to get through, about 9 major events. The US also released their Consumer Price Index today. The core Commodities CPI increased at .3% while the regular CPI was up at 1.1%
One of the big newsies today, the Treasury International Capital Net Long Term Securities had barely reached it’s mark today. At a consensus bet of 70 billion, the index only reached 67 Billion, from a previous month’s estimate of 111.9 billion. This index accounts for those who have made securities investments that mature in excess of a year or more.
Us Industrial Production is at .5% and the Capacity Utilization Rate is 79.9%. The Capacity Utilization Rate is based on the percentage of production that is averaged out by the production capabilities of utility companies, metal mines, and manufacturers.
Then here comes the sweet! Sweet Crude Oil inventories UP! Three Million Barrels. Add that to an news equation with the US looking to drill offshore, and my friend, the oil bubble will burst!!! Sweet Crude at time of writing is now around $134. SUV owners once again rejoice!!!
reports yet to watch out for:
The National Asociation of Homebuilders will have an index around 1700 GMT, and at 1800 GMT, the FOMC Meeting Minutes will be shared.
Podium Pieces:
We are still waiting for Englands’ Monetary Policy Committee member Spencer Dale speak, but we do have some wordage from Ben Bernanke. Ben made a few words on the nature of the US’s two government backed mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Ben states that these companies are not on the brink nor any danger of failing, as they are holding their water, but they are having a difficult circumstance raising any further funds. Both firms hold and guarantee more than five Trillion dollars of notes.
Wow! Can I have some of that! just kidding!
Have a great afternoon and TRADE ON!!!

Oh Canada!:

The Good Ol United States:
Despite the good forex news, the business news stateside with the mortgage industry and disputes with middle eastern oil producer Iran is just giving the euro a field day, letting the currency recover it’s loss and then some on it’s merrily way to $1.60.
The Trade Balance has improved slightly at -59.8B. While still in a deficit, we have made an improvement, while the consensus was actually perceiving a worse forecast of -62.5B.
The Import Price Index stayed unchanged at 2.6, but blowing past the consensus of 2.0.
The number for Preliminary University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment came in on a positive note at 56.6. This is a heavy hitter, and believe it or not, this could either make the euro go packing from a sore loss, or make the euro pack and have a holiday over a negative forecast! Keep a lookout for this one!
