US Canada Trade Balance 08/12/09

8:30am (NY Time) USA Trade Balance     BUY USD/JPY -14.4B   SELL USD/JPY -35.4B
8:30am (NY TIme) CAD Trade Balance     SELL EUR/CAD 0.1B    BUY  EUR/CAD -1.3B

Again we have both trade balances coming out at the same time. The object will be to trade one currency pair only, so its either EUR/CAD or USD/JPY.  Do not trade both or you might get confused and lose money.

US ISM Manufacturing PMI 08/03/09

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.
