Dollar Eases Off The Gas

Morning Report: 09.00 London

• This morning, the US dollar has eased off the gas following weak US data yesterday evening. The same sentiment pushed the S&P 500 to one of its heaviest losses, with further selling this morning.                                                                                         

                               
                                                                                                                                                                   
                               

• The NZD/USD is the biggest mover, up by over 1% as the dollar pressure eases and the data improves from neighbouring Australia.

                               

• The AUD/USD and AUD/JPY are buoyed by better than expected trade balance data from Australia.

                               

                               

• The USD/CAD is having a rare down day, mainly as a result of the weaker US dollar than any particular Canadian dollar strength.

                               

                    
Coming up today:

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

• The day’s main highlight is the ECB rate decision at 12.45 and press conference at 13.30.

• The latest US unemployment figures are released at the same time.

Trade Idea:

While the EUR/USD down trend has received much focus, the EUR/JPY’s down trend is gaining momentum. This could only increase if the US dollar continues to ease off the gas, thus creating more downside momentum for the yen pairs.

                               

A good way to play this could be a LOWER trade on the EUR/JPY predicting that the pair will close below 137.00 in 5 days time for a potential return of 151%.
