10:00am (NY Time) US ISM Manufacturing PMI   Forecast 54.8  Previous 55.7
ACTION: USD/JPY      BUY 57.0      SELL 52.0

We’ll be looking to trade the ISM Manufacturing PMI today and we’ll be looking for a minimum of 2.5 of deviation either way.  In the event we get a better than expected release, this could once again fuel the sentiment of risk appetite, thus USD could remain under pressure; however, if the release is negative, below the medium 50 level, we could see stronger USD and stronger JPY throughout the rest of the US session.  Since this is a leading indicator, investors pay more attention to this release for signs of market direction of December.

10:30pm (NY Time) AU RBA Rate Decision     Forecast 3.75%    Previous 3.50%
ACTION: AUD/USD  N/A

Reserve Bank of Australia  (RBA) is going to hike its official cash rate once again to 3.75% as it is widely expected by the majority economists surveyed by both Bloomberg and Reuters.  However, this is going to be the first time RBA has hiked rates 3 times consecutively in a row.  Therefore, there is some expectation that RBA may not hike rate this time, but may resume its rate tightening cycle in 2010.

8:30am NY Time Canada GDP m/m   Forecast 0.4%      Previous -0.1%
ACTION: USD/CAD         BUY 0.1%     SELL 0.7%

Today we’ll be trading the Canadian GDP month on month release, which is defined (from wikipedia) as “the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. It is also considered the sum of value added at every stage of production of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.”  As GDP is basically the measurement of the “economy” as a whole and it certainly has a strong impact on the cash rate of the CAD, it’ll be a highly anticipated news event.

10:00am (NY Time) US New Home Sales   Forecast 408K  Previous 402K
ACTION: USD/JPY or USD/CHF        BUY 480K    SELL 330K

Our focus is on the New Home Sales, which is expected at 408K; our tradable deviation is going to be 70K, so if the release is lower, it would be bad for USD and risk sentiment, so we will look to SELL USD/JPY or possible the USD/CHF pair; if the number is higher, it would be good for USD and risk sentiment, we could see a rally in USD and BUY USD/JPY or USD/CHF.

4:30am (NY Time) UK Revised GDP q/q       Forecast -0.3%     Previous -0.4%
ACTION: GBP/USD          BUY 0.0%         SELL -0.6%

We’ll be trading the Revised GDP q/q from UK, which is also known as the second quarterly GDP release; GDP is defined as “the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. It is also considered the sum of value added at every stage of production of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.”  GDP is the basically direct measure of the economy’s health, and a stronger GDP means that the central bank will more likely raise interest rate to curb inflation.
