- past data is -4.8%
- forecast data is 1.8%
- actual data is -5.6% according to the latest press release
if actual > forecast = good for currency (for EUR in our case)
AUD - Building Approvals = Change in the number of new building approvals issued. It's an excellent gauge of future construction activity because obtaining government approval is among the first steps in constructing a new building. Construction is important because it produces a wide-reaching ripple effect - for example, jobs are created for the construction workers, subcontractors and inspectors are hired, and various services are purchased by the builder.
==========
Australia Building Approvals Tumble 5.6% In April
The total number of building approvals issued in Australia in April was down a seasonally adjusted 5.6 percent on month, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Monday, standing at 14,931.
That was well shy of forecasts for an increase of 2.0 percent following the 3.5 percent contraction in March.
On a yearly basis, building approvals were up 1.1 percent - far short of expectations for 12.3 percent and down from 20.0 percent in the previous month.
The number of approvals for private sector houses eased 0.3 percent on month but gained 16.5 percent on year to 9.254. Approvals for private sector dwellings excluding houses plunged 14.0 percent on month and 16.6 percent on year to 5,435.

Retail sales in Australia added a seasonally adjusted 0.2 percent on month in April, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Tuesday - coming in at A$23.168 billion.

Also on Tuesday, the ABS said that Australia saw a current account deficit of A$5.67 billion in the first quarter of 2014 - up 52 percent on quarter.
That beat forecasts for a shortfall of A$7.0 billion following the downwardly revised deficit of A$11.7 billion in Q4 (originally a deficit of A$10.1 billion).
Exports of goods and services gained A$4.959 billion (6 percent) and imports of goods and services added A$759 million (1 percent). The primary income deficit fell A$1.811 billion (17 percent).

Australia Q1 GDP Climbs 1.1% On Quarter
Australia's gross domestic product expanded a seasonally adjusted 1.1 percent on quarter in the first three months of 2014, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said on Wednesday.
That beat forecasts for an increase of 0.9 percent following the 0.8 percent gain in the fourth quarter of 2013.
On a yearly basis, GDP climbed 3.5 percent - also topping expectations for a rise of 3.2 percent and up from 2.8 percent in the three months prior.
The terms of trade decreased 1.2 percent on quarter and 3.8 percent on year.
Real gross domestic income increased 0.8 percent, while disposable income added 1.3 percent on quarter and 2.2 percent on year.
The contributors to the increase in expenditure on GDP were net exports (1.4 percentage points), final consumption expenditure (0.3 percentage points) and private gross fixed capital formation (0.2 percentage points). The main detractor was changes in inventories (-0.6 percentage points).
The main contributors to GDP were mining (up 8.6 percent), financial and insurance services (up 2.8 percent) and construction (up 3.0 percent).
Mining contributed 0.9 percentage points to the increase in GDP while financial and insurance services and construction each contributed 0.2 percentage points.
Upon the release of the data, the Australian dollar strengthened against major currencies, trading near 0.9296 against the U.S. dollar, 95.40 against the yen, 1.0155 against the Canadian dollar, 1.4637 against the euro and 1.1023 against the kiwi.
Also on Wednesday, Australia's service sectors improved in May to be just barely in contraction, the latest survey from the Australian Industry Group revealed on Wednesday.
AiG's performance of service index came in with a score of 49.9 - up sharply from 48.6 in April but still just barely below the reading of 50 that separates expansion from contraction in a sector.
Among the individual components of the survey, growth in the sector was confined to health and community services, finance and insurance, and personal and recreational services during May.
But wholesale trade, employment and retail trade were lower.

Trading the News: U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (based on dailyfx article)
- U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) to Increase 200+K for Fourth Consecutive Month.
- 288K Print in April Marked the Highest Print Since January 2012.
U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) are projected to increase another 215K in
May, but the data print may spur a mixed reaction in the EUR/USD as the
jobless rate is expected to widen to an annualized 6.4% from 6.3% the
month prior.
What’s Expected:
Why Is This Event Important:
Despite the ongoing improvement in the labor market, it seems as though the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will stick to its current approach at the June 18 meeting, and we would need to see a marked pickup in NFPs to see a material shift in the Fed’s policy outlook at Chair Janet Yellen remains in no rush to normalize monetary policy.
The ongoing improvement in business sentiment along with the resilience in private sector consumption may encourage U.S. firms to further expand their labor force, and a positive development may spur a bullish reaction in the greenback as it puts increased pressure on the Fed to move away from its highly accommodative policy stance.
Nevertheless, the rise in planned job-cuts paired with the persistent
slack in the real economy may ultimately generate a disappointing labor
report, and a dismal print may heighten the bearish sentiment
surrounding the reserve currency as it drags on interest rate
expectations.
How To Trade This Event Risk
Bullish USD Trade: NFPs Climb 215K+; Unemployment Holds Steady
- Need to see red, five-minute candle following the NFP print to consider a short trade on EUR/USD
- If market reaction favors a long dollar trade, sell EUR/USD with two separate position
- Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward
- Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit; set reasonable limit
- Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long EUR/USD trade
- Implement same setup as the bullish dollar trade, just in the opposite direction
EUR/USD Daily
- Failure to Close Above Former Support Favors Bearish Forecast
- Interim Resistance: 1.3770 (38.2% expansion) to 1.3780 (38.2% retracement)
- Interim Support: 1.3490 (50.0% retracement) to 1.3500 Pivot

EURUSD M5 : 48 pips by USD - NFP news event
U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls increased 288K in April following a revised 203K
rise the month prior, while the jobless rate unexpectedly slipped to an
annualized 6.3% from 6.7% as discouraged workers continued to leave the
labor force. The better-than-expected NFP print pushed the EUR/USD back
down towards the 1.3800 handle, but the market reaction was certainly
short-lived as the pair ended the day at 1.3871.
