UK GDP In Focus

Morning Report: 08.30 London

• Markets are a real mixed bag this morning, with no real dominant trend to speak of. The major trends of the last few weeks are still holding, with the S&P 500 and dollar index set at the highs.
                                                                 

                               

                               

• Elsewhere, the NZD/USD and AUD/USD have nudged higher despite poor Aussie construction work data.
                                                                                                                                                 
                               

                               

• The USD/JPY has peeled back slightly again, with the GBP/JPY showing some relative weakness ahead of today’s advanced GDP data.

                               

                              

• Silver is backing off after rallying this week with gold.
                                                                                                                                                                           
                               
                                 

Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have UK second estimate GDP at 09.30, alongside prelim business investment. This is followed by CBI realised sales at 11.00.

• From 13.30 we switch to the US for core durable goods orders and unemployment claims. At the same time we get personal spending data.

• Chicago PMI follows at 14.45, with revised UoM consumer sentiment at 14.55.

• New home sales at 15.00 is one of the day’s big tickets with a small rise expected.

Trade Idea:


• With no dominant trend across the board today, it may pay to ride the longer term trends and for the yen pairs, this is higher.

                               
                               
A good way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that the GBP/JPY will close above 185.75 in 2 days time for a potential return of 123%.
