Strategy Video: ECB Strategy for EURUSD and Euro Crosses

  • The ECB rate decision (11:45 GMT) and Draghi conference (12:30 GMT) on Thursday are top event risk
  • Expectations for more easing build alongside forecasts for volatility - the highest since the June meet
  • EURUSD may not present the best opportunity amongst Euro crosses on a hawkish or dovish outcome

In a crowded week for scheduled event risk, the ECB rate decision tops my list for potential market impact. Not because the central bank will introduce a new wave of easing. Rather, whether the policy authority increases accommodation or stays its hand; a large segment will be caught off gaurd and have to readjust. In other words, this event is likely to be market moving and/or develop trends regardless of its outcome. In today's Strategy Video we discuss what to look for from this event and which Euro-based pairs may be best suited to different scenarios.

01: NON FARM PAYROLL (Part 1) - ECONOMIC REPORTS FOR ALL MARKETS

This is the 1st video in a series on economic reports created for all markets, or for those who simply have an interest in economics. In this and the next lesson, we cover the Employment Situation Report, also known as Non Farm Payroll.

============

Non-farm Payrolls (metatrader5.com)

Non-farm Payrolls is the assessment of the total number of employees recorded in payrolls.

This is a very strong indicator that shows the change in employment in the country. The growth of this indicator characterizes the increase in employment and leads to the growth of the dollar. It is considered an indicator tending to move the market. There is a rule of thumb that an increase in its value by 200,000 per month equates to an increase in GDP by 3.0%.

  • Release Frequency: monthly.
  • Release Schedule: 08:30 EST, the first Friday of the month.
  • Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor.

============

FF forum economic calendar :

  • Source : Bureau of Labor Statistics
  • Measures : Change in the number of employed people during the previous month, excluding the farming industry
  • Usual Effect : Actual > Forecast = Good for currency
  • Frequency : Released monthly, usually on the first Friday after the month ends
  • Why Traders Care : Job creation is an important leading indicator of consumer spending, which accounts for a majority of overall economic activity
  • Also Called : Non-Farm Payrolls, NFP, Employment Change

Trading Video: Can the Dollar Sustain its Rally and the S&P 500 its Quiet? (based on dailyfx article)

  • Despite a boom of volatility in FX markets, sentiment trends and the S&P 500 remain troubling stoic
  • The most impressive trend lately may also prove the most overdone in the short-term - the Dollar's rally
  • If there is shift in risk or greenback favor, there are plenty of opportunities; but USDJPY would hit both

Though it falls short of the S&P 500's maturity, the US Dollar's rally these past two months stands out as one of the financial market's top themes. An eight-week rally for the USDollar matches its longest run in 15 years, but the performance is all the more remarkable for the fundamental drivers backing its progress. Rather than find its footing through a 'flight to safety' or meaningful upgrade in policy forecasts, the greenback has drawn strength through its counterparts' difficulties. The culmination of unique issues for the Euro, Pound and Yen make for an effective lever; but it is also one that lacks for endurance. With equity markets pulsating 'extreme complacency' and the dollar stretched, we look at market conditions and potential setups for the week ahead in today's Trading Video.

Bad time for Australia. Share market falls as consumer confidence drops

The Australian share market has suffered its worst fall in more than a month, with investors influenced by losses on Wall Street and an unexpected fall in consumer confidence.

All sectors fell but finance companies managed to post the slimmest losses.

The NAB and ANZ bank fell by 0.4 per cent and 0.25 per cent respectively, while the Commonwealth closed steady. Westpac gained 0.4 per cent.

The All Ordinaries index and the ASX200 both fell 34 points or 0.6 per cent to close at 5,574.

The mining sector was one of the hardest hit; BHP Billiton dropped 0.8 per cent and Rio Tinto 0.4 per cent, as the benchmark Chinese iron ore price softened a touch more overnight Tuesday.

Atlas Iron dropped 4.2 per cent and Fortescue Metals Group fell 2.7 per cent, but gold miner Newcrest gained 1.25 per cent.

The Westpac Melbourne Institute Consumer Confidence index fell sharply and unexpectedly in its latest reading, erasing the gains it had made over the previous three months.

The index is now 4.6 points lower at 94, with any reading below 100 indicating that pessimists outnumber optimists.

The Australian dollar was also hurt by the confidence index and continued its slide on speculation that US interest rates will begin increasing before those domestically.
