I think GDP is on the 21st. Industrial Production is monday morning though. Its hard to call where next. I think down. At least to the low 1.89s

$ For The week of 10/30-With Trade Ideas

I agree on the NFP being dubious. Would be electorally conspiratorial if the nov figure was revised down next month. I think though, that this could have ramifications on the next GDP release. There could be another whipshaw then, as the oct figs ...

NFP and rumors around

Basically, it means new tax legislation has been introduced taxing dividends of income trusts etc. The fallout means that canadian assets arent as attractive to global investors because of the tax burden. Consequently, there will be a reduced demand ...

Whats with CAD?

I dont think GBP/USD will strengthen further without a sub 0.2% number on core PCE. Its obvious m/m PCE will be less than consensus and personal spending will be higher. If 0.2% is hit, i think we'll see some profit taking. On the upside 1.9078 is ...

core PCE for 10/30

I think this was the best US news trade since the cpi figures in August. If only all news was as easy. I got in at 1.8930 took some at 1.896, and then the some at 1.894 (trail stop hit) and some of the last ones are 1.899. A good day.

US GDP - Oct 27

I took a 12 pip loss too. Very disappointing. I think if the figure had been worse than expected nzd would of gone down a lot. I think its the case of good news in a bear environment.

Nz trade balance

I noticed on this pair its better if you put your entry about 10 pips from the last bid. I did this last night on a straddle and it worked. My only problem was i took my profit too early. This pair really bombs if it breaks a support or day low. So ...

Nz trade balance

I made a nice 20pips on a straddle. I got slipped 9 pips on entry though. Never lost of an nzd report yet.

NZD rate decision

Yes Tradethenews seems a worthy service. I read on another posting it beat the spike on durable goods last month. Does this often happen?

Good source for Fundementals/News

Thanks. It doesnt seem too bad. Its only $40 without audio. 4 pips on a 100k lot per month. Otherwise its trading blind really.

Totally agree Burgerking. It looks like it will be a great week. Happy trading.

Calendar for Oct 23-27

Cad Cpi — Is anyone trading this report? I think CPI will be weaker than the -0.3 forecast, maybe -0.5%, which could give USD/CAD a 30pip boost. It is the final report of the week, but is usually a dud if there isnt at least a 0.2% difference ...

Cad Cpi

The consensus is that rates will be left unchanged. Therefore this will probably be an non-announcement as TIC data is released at the same time.

BOC Interest Rate Statement

I think it will a positive USD reaction. If you look at retailers they had a bumper september, sales wish, as the back-to-school (last-week in august) sales are in this report. I would expect >0.2% today. So sub 1.86 gbp/usd We'll see in about ...

US Retail Sales and Consumer Sentiment

I longed it beforehand at 7422, so happy now with 22 pips. NZ retail tomorrow for fun.

Aus employment numbers

Good advice and analysis, Burgerking. I suppose the problem is tonight is say a 30k figure in a very strong dollar environment. So this will negate a lot of the positive impact from a surprise to the upside. How do you normally play it? straddle or ...
