Fundamental/News Thread

I did mate. In Wheeler's previous speech he was discouting a lot of the decent prints that we had seen in Aus. It's the tone of his speech that really matters. Also the Aussie had rallied againgst the dollar- and he had expressed some concern on this

Fundamental and Technical Analysis Combined

Looking through this post - think I should have been more vocal on the Aussie, but change of bank bias is the number one thing that traders should look at Anyhow, NFP on Friday- this is a big event. Yellen is relying on employment to drive ...

Got circa 130 pips on this move/sentiment from yesterday. The breakthrough of the inner trendline was omnious- Also retested a trendline at the top All this was down to research- despite a number of banks thinking that Lowe would be more upbeat

Does not happen all the time, but when it does you get big moves Change in central bank bias towards interest rates (see recent speech by Carney (BOE), Wilkins (BOC)) Big miss or beat on CPI or NFP, get in on the pullback Pure gold

which setups/strategies are frequently occurring?

Hi mate Agree lots to think about Personally I think the dollar is the key- big gamble off Yellen. Although there was talk that these hikes are to take some of the steam off the stockmarket For completness have added s/r and some trendlines GL Fader

US GDP beat expected but still on a downward path, over the last few months Think its best to wait to see that the ADP/NFP figures are going to be. Estimates seem higher that last months figures so that it positive And wage inflation has a slightly ...

[emote=jchiogna1;10017207]I was going to enter a NZDUSD trade shortly after the official rate was announced after I had listened to Wheeler's remarks. I set my clock wrong! One hour after the event. However, I see that I would have been ok entering ...

Fundamental/News Thread

Its all to do with market expectations-of the event not the rate per se With the UK (BOE)- 3 out of 8 members voted for a hike. This was a big shift from the previous meeting where only 1 voted to hike. The market had not expected this - as recent ...

The thing is - this is the most hawkish statement that we have had for while. Most of the market expected the RBNZ to remain dovish. Even though they did not hike - the fact that they were not as dovish as they were expected to be - has made the ...

EURUSD

The best to trade news - is to wait for a large beat or miss against expected. Then get in on the first pullback Also stick with the main stuff (CPI, NFP, employment figs in Aus). Yen pairs are usually best to prevent fading.

Right market turning south on NZDUSD. If Wheeler wants the Kiwi lower - he is going to have to come up with something. Inflation (2.2%) he has regarded as transitory. GDP missed, and exports were lower Also the rally by the AUDNZD has petered out ...

Wheeler not happy with the value of the Kiwi. Fed hike has not really done anything. Wheeler knows what it will take to move things. And can surprise the markets, and probably will Inflation at the moment he regards as transitory.
