Pound Stumbles After Employment Miss

Morning Report: 08.30 London

• This morning, the S&P 500 is continuing to trade within a tight range, slowly working off recent over bought conditions. The dollar index is slipping lower, but still holding around the highs.
                                                                 

                               

                               

• The British pound continues to under perform its peers, following yesterday’s disappointing unemployment and claimant count change data. The pound is stabilising this morning, but is still under performing the euro.
                                                                                                                                                                   
                               

                               
 
                               

• The yen pairs are generally holding around the highs though after senior officials confirmed snap elections.

                              

• Elsewhere, gold and silver continue to unwind after Friday’s isolated rally.
                                             
                               

                               
                                                                             
Coming up today:

• Coming up today, we have US unemployment claims at 13.30 as the day’s main economic item. JOLTS job openings follow at 15.00.

Trade Idea:


• The EUR/GBP has rallied heavily these last two days, but the pounds under performance could be an opportunity to trade the retrace. The pound may be under performing, but the euro is hardly rock solid at present.

                               
                               
A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the EUR/GBP will close below 0.7875 in 12 days time for a potential return of 146%.
