8:30am (NY Time) US Core Retail Sales Forecast 0.5% Previous 0.2% 8:30am (NY Time) US Retail Sales Forecast 0.6% Previous 1.4% ACTION: USD/JPY or USD/CHF (CORE) BUY 1.1% SELL -0.1%
We will be trading Retail Sales release out of U.S. today. We have both retail sales (healine and core, also know as ex auto) scheduled to be released at exactly 8:30am, and it is important that there is no conflict with these numbers or this will be an automatic no trade. The Core release is usually more accurate reflection of the activities at the retail level because it excludes the volatile Automotive components; the headline Retail Sales should be in the same direction as of the Core reading.

ACTION: GBP/USD SELL 55.00 BUY 59.00
Our focus will be on the Services PMI figure today and we’ll look for a minimum deviation of 2.0 from the forecast release figure. If we get at least 59.0 or better, we could see further demand in the GBP that should justify for LONG trades on GBP/USD or GBP/JPY pairs. If we get a 55.0 or worse release, GBP could weaken or at least show a quick profit taking reaction from the overnight bullish move.
