GbpYen - looking to trade 168/173

inside that 169.25/172.25

basically tomorrow GBP CPI - the numbers Friday were weaker than expected - if CPI remains subdued then tightening expectations will dissipate and BOE Guidance can be lower .. should see eur/gbp rise and gbpyen weaken ... the thing is CPI type numbers have been subdued during this whole phase .. so looking for one more contained number.

hoping for one rally during the day to start selling ... all the best.

HIGH IMPACT ITEMS: JP- Holiday

• The weakness of December U.S. jobs report was a real shocker. Some dismissed the data as mainly weather-related, but others saw weak underlying figures in the report. We feel the data confirmed that the U.S. jobs recovery is likely to remain slow.
  


• As for the Fed, it is our impression that the central bank cannot end the asset purchase program soon enough and will do all in its power to maintain the current timing of its taper program. Key will be if future jobs figures continue to come in at the current average level of about 150-200K per month. If not, all tapering bets could be off.

• It might be that the tide may be ready to turn in the markets against the EUR. At the end of 2013, it appeared that a EUR liquidity squeeze kept the unit in demand. It is possible now that with this technicality out of the way that the EUR could start to soften.
  


• We were surprised by the intensity of  the dovish tone taken by ECB President Draghi. However he is a master talking around a subject. The ECB has pursued an unnecessarily tight monetary policy for years and as a result has not done nearly enough to promote economic growth throughout the currency area. As a result, the common currency will have to weaken at some point this year if the U.S. finally recovers.
  

• The data calendar this week will give markets a chance to digest the events of the past week. U.S. Retail Sales data (Tuesday) are always key to economic sentiment. For additional key items and more detail (dates, times, data estimates), be sure to reference our Economic Calendar. See the FOREX FORUM  for latest key data and charts as they are released.

U.S./Canada Employment data

When I started to look into this I expected labour force participation rates across English speaking countries to be bear some comparison, but as Benjamin Disreali stated "lies, censored lies and statistics" these figures bear out that euphemism:
Labour force participation rates for the following countries:
Australia 64.8
UK 72.0
NZ 68.6
US 62.8
Canada 66.4

USD/CAD : Critical Point 1.1006
Reply   



USD/CAD : A critical level is positioning at 1.1006 - 1.1040. As shown in the weekly cycle analysis (front page of my website) the market pivot centres are positioning at 1.0916 - 1.0950 - 1.1040. It is likely that the market is going to retreat early next week in the Asian session. A supporting barrier is expected at 1.0701 // 1.0721. The odds are in favor of maintaining a long position when the market is trading above 1.0775 (see the middle of the front page on U-Limits of USD/CAD).
