Risk Appetite Wanes

Morning Report: 08.30 London

• This morning, general risk appetite appears to be waning as the Japanese yen returns to strength. The main yen pairs are slipping back significantly after this morning’s speech from BOJ governor Kuroda.
                                                                 

                               

                               
                                                                                                                                                 
                               

• The Australian dollar is showing particular weakness, with the AUD/JPY one of the biggest losers. The excitement surrounding China’s rate cut appears to be waning. The AUD/USD and NZD/USD are slipping lower on the same movement.

                               

                               

                              

• The S&P 500 is holding at the highs, while the dollar index is nudging higher.
                                                                                                                                                                           
                               

                               
   
Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have UK BBA mortgage approvals at 09.30, followed by the inflation report hearings at 10.00.

• At 13.30 we switch to North America, with Canadian retail sales and US prelim GDP released at the same time.

• US consumer confidence follows at 15.00.

Trade Idea:


• The yen pairs are pulling back today, but this could be a buying opportunity, especially on the GBP/JPY which has displayed relative strength recently.

                               
                               
A good way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that the GBP/JPY will close above 185.25 in 7 days time for a potential return of 109%.
