Trade Plan For Australia CPI q/q 04/27/10

AUD

Our plan to trade today’s CPI release out of Australia will be twofold.  First, we’ll look for a possible pre-buying of AUD ahead of this release during early Asian trading session for a possible sentiment trade; and Second, we will look for opportunities to enter the market if we get a surprise in this release, here is the current forecast:

9:30pm AU CPI q/q         Forecast 0.9%      Previous 0.5%
ACTION: AUD/USD        BUY 1.2%      SELL 0.6%

Australia CPI q/q 01/26/10

7:30pm AU CPI q/q         Forecast 0.4%      Previous 1.0%
ACTION: AUD/USD        BUY 0.7%      SELL 0.0%

We’ll be lookign to trade the quarterly CPI release out of Australia.  As reflected in recent RBA rate statements, Australia is facing  rise in inflation, and this number could surprise to the upside.  RBA hiked rates last few rate decisions, and with a surprise better than expected release, we could have justification for further rate hike. 

Australia CPI q/q 10/27/09

8:30pm AU CPI q/q         Forecast 0.9%      Previous 0.8%
ACTION: AUD/USD        BUY 1.2%      SELL 0.6%

Our focus will be on the quarterly CPI release out of Australia.  As stated in recent RBA announcements, Australia is facing possible rise in inflation, and this number could surprise to the upside.  RBA hiked rates a few weeks ago and surprised the market, this will be the justification for that rate  hike.  Therefore, If we get a better than expected CPI data, we should see an instant appreciation of AUD by at least of 40 pips within the hour, but if we get a worse than expected number, AUD should drop as traders will be confused over RBA’s decision, and we should expect market to consolidate.  Of course, the deviation that I am looking for must be at least 0.3%, or I will skip the trade.

9:30pm(NY Time)   AU CPI q/q   Forecast 0.5%   Previous 0.1%
ACTION:   BUY 0.8%   SELL 0.2%   AUD/USD
             

If we get a better than expected CPI data, we should see an instant appreciation of AUD by at least of 35 pips within the hour, but if we get a worse than expected number, AUD should drop about 35 pips or so. I am looking for a deviation of at least 0.3% on the quarterly GDP, or I will skip the trade.
