Markets shrug off Asian Malaise

Morning Report: 09.00 London

• This morning, financial markets are managing to rise despite poor economic data from China, Japan and Australia. It could be indicative of a returning bullish mood across traders as this data would have been enough to spark a sell off on another day.                                                                                                             

                               

• The dollar index is also nudging higher, keeping up its recent relative strength.
                                                                                                                                                                         
                               

• The yen pairs are on the rise, helped by the strong US dollar.

                               

• The euro is still struggling however, partly due to the Green back’s strength, but mainly due recent weak data from Germany.
         
                               

                               
                                           
Coming up today:

• Coming up today at 09.30 we have UK claimant count change figures released alongside the latest average earnings index.

• Follow this we have European industrial production at 10.00.

• The morning’s big ticket is the BOE inflation letter and BOE Governor Carney speaking.

• Form 13.30 we have a very busy afternoon with US data. The highlights are core retail sale and business inventories at 15.00.


Trade Idea:

• With the euro still struggling and the dollar index showing no signs of weakening, there could be more downside for the EUR/USD.

                               

A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the EUR/USD will close below 1.3325 in 7 days time for a potential return of 165%.
