Germany Avoids Recession…Just

Morning Report: 08.30 London

• This morning, stock markets are once again mired in a trading range at the highs, while the dollar index holds above its moving average.
                                                                 

                               

                               

• The main news this morning is that German economy avoided a second strait quarter of negative GDP growth, while France avoided three straight quarters. The German data was hardly inspiring though, coming out in line with expectations at +0.1% and while French data beat estimates, non farm payroll data sunk more than expected.

• The euro’s performance is underwhelming so far, with the EUR/JPY up 0.25% and the EUR/USD down just 0.17%.
                                                                                                                                                                   
                               

                               

• The dollar pairs are struggling as the dollar index holds the highs, with the GBP/USD extending recent losses.
 
                               

• Gold and silver continue to unwind with large losses so far this morning.

                              
                                            
                               

• It’s the yen pairs that are seeing the biggest movements so far today though. with the USD/JPY up 0.42%.

                               
                                                                             
Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have UK construction output at 09.30.

• This is followed by European final CPI and flash GDP at 10.00.

• At 13.30, we have US retail sales alongside Canadian manufacturing sales.

• Prelim UoM consumer sentiment follows at 14.55. Business inventories are released at 15.00 alongside mortgage delinquencies.

Trade Idea:


• The AUD/JPY is rising today despite poor data from China this morning. The move is primarily down to a weak yen, but this could be a sign of underlying strength in the Aussie.

                               
                               
A good way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that the AUD/JPY will close above 101.50 in 5 days time could return 141% if successful.
