Coming up today:

• This morning, the Bank of England are expected to downgrade their UK growth forecasts while they release the latest inflation report at the same time.

• German industrial production is released at 11.00with a drop to 0.8% expected. There is a German 10 year bond auction running throughout the day.

• In the afternoon we have US preliminary non farm productivity and unit labour costs at 13.30.


Bet Idea:

• The USD/JPY has recently been trading in a fairly consistent pattern of an up day followed by a down day. Looking back further, this has been a familiar trait for the pair when it is between trending periods. There may be a limit to the downside thanks to the watchful Bank of Japan, but there may still be some value in a bearish trade today.

A good way to play this might be a ONE TOUCH trade predicting that the USD/JPY TOUCHES 77.90 in 2 days time
for as potential return of 132%.
