Get ready for a week of FIREWORKS

Asset managers are viewing this week as a decider for US Bond markets

And with reason , Bloomberg has this roundup of what’s to happen States’ side over the week. Sharpen the pencils, the medium to longer term players will be on the case.
A slew of economic data, Fed’s rate decision, probably more importantly the economic outlook rater than anything on rates, Trump’s choice on the next Fed Chair and to crown the week , the US employment report.
For us FX traders, this should equally put us in a higher state of alert on the lookout for trend formations or confirmations.
Further more we have

  • BOJ on Tuesday and BOE on Thursday, the latter bearing more uncertainty and thus meaning more volatility than the former. Expectations are leaning towards a dovish rate hike to give some wiggle room for any deterioration.
  • We’re getting European CPI’s, GDP’s and Labour reports
  • UK sees lending, housing and PMI data to add to the BOE’s fun.
  • New Zealand employment figures , Australia trade and building numbers.
  • And to add to all this we can count on the politicians to fill in any gaps left. Spain, Brexit,NZD policies to be announced, Middle and Far East geo-politics.
  • It will be case of keeping the forest in sight through all the trees.
  • These are a (non-exhaustive) levels I will keep a close eye on for directions in my trading :
  • Base approach “for now” is a sluggish EURO, a neutral to underpinned GBP, an underpinned $ and neutral wobble on JPY
  • EURUSD 1.1440-1.1475-1.1500-1.1570-1.1660/70-1.1730-1.1835 . I am running a flexible short on this one for the moment, stop will initially be through 1.1670.
