UK CPI y/y 11/17/09

by Henry Liu on November 16, 2009

4:30am (NY Time) UK CPI y/y    Forecast 1.4%         Previous 1.1%
ACTION: GBP/USD        BUY 1.7%      SELL 1.1%

We’ll focus on the CPI release today and our surprise factor (or deviation) is  at 0.3%.  If the yearly Inflation number increases to a surprise of 1.7% then we will BUY of GBP/USD.  If the Inflation number decreases to 1.1% or less, we’ll look to SELL GBP/USD.  Historically, even at a difference of 0.1%, we should see market overreaction.  If our deviation is hit, there is a probability of over 80% that the market will move 50 pips within the next 30 minutes.

Hi everyone,

 I just wanted to say that with today’s unexpected turn of events from the U.S. GDP release, market has turned around from last 3 days of risk aversion concerns to an all out risk appetite and boosted gains of every major currency against the USD… This created a strong reversal on the GBP as it blew through several resistance points…  and boy, did I ever hear about it from my subscribers!  I spent almost half-day just replying emails to traders who just totally ignored the US GDP release and went short on Sterling.  I got hate mails, critiques, and tons of emails from concerned subscribers, which I must say that I’m always happy to hear from…
