ACTION:   BUY 60.0      SELL 55.0      USD/JPY

We’ll be looking for a possibility to trade the ISM Manufacturing PMI today during the New York Trading session, and our tradable deviation for a safe trade is 2.5 points either way.  In the event we get a better than expected release, this could once again fuel the recent bullish rally of USD; however, if the release is negative, below or close to the medium 50 level, we could see some minor consolidation or even a very tightly traded market…  Since this is a leading indicator, investors pay more attention to this release for signs of market direction this month and possibly trend changes…  And with the NFP scheduled on Friday, this release might have more impact than usual should we get a huge surprise.

10:00am (NY Time) US ISM Manufacturing PMI   Forecast 46.4   Previous 44.8
ACTION: USD/JPY                                    BUY 49.0             SELL 44.0

This is one of the first important indicator for this week and may have a longer effect for the rest of the month.  If the number is lower, we’ll  look to BUY GBP/USD, EUR/USD or SELL USD/JPY, USD/CHF, USD/CAD. If the  number is significantly higher, we’ll look to SELL GBP/USD, EUR/USD or BUY USD/JPY, USD/CHF, USD/CAD.  But remember, take a couple of seconds to see the market reaction if the number is lower.  We could very well see broad bullish sentiment for the U.S. Dollar and ignore the worse number.
