10:00am (NY Time) US ISM Manufacturing PMI Forecast 54.1 Previous 53.6
ACTION: USD/JPY BUY 56.5 SELL 51.0
We’ll be looking to trade the ISM Manufacturing PMI once again today 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 relieve and consolidation of the greenback… Since this is a leading indicator, investors pay more attention to this release for signs of market direction this month.

10:00am (NY Time) US ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI Forecast 51.6 Previous 50.9
ACTION: USD/JPY BUY 54.0 SELL 49.0
Today we’ll focus once again on the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI, or better known as the Services PMI, which is a leading indicator of the nation’s Services sector, as many investors look at this release for directional bias on the near-term future of the economy. With the current expectation just above the 50 level at 51.6, in the event that 54.0 is reached, we could see risk appetite returning to the market as JPY weakens across the board; however, if the opposite is true, or 49.0 figure is released, expect to see stronger JPY and possible stronger USD from risk aversion flows.
