Yen Leading For
2nd Day Running


Morning Report: 8.00 London

• While the dollar is making all the headlines right now, it’s the yen that has been the power currency so far this week as traders switch to a more defensive posture. The yen is up 0.49% against the US dollar and extending gains against other currencies this morning. The GBP/JPY appears particularly hard hit, down 0.50%.
                                                                 

                               

                               
                                                                                    
                               


•  The euro may have hit a nine year low yesterday, but it’s been the pound that has been under performing over the last three sessions, especially against the euro.

                              

•  The dollar pairs are rising this morning, with the NZD/USD and AUD/USD leading the way. Australian trade balance data came in above expectations.

                             

                             

• Gold also looks set for its second gain in as many days.

                            

• The S&P 500 continues to weaken in 2015 however.

                           

Coming up today:

• This morning we have a raft of US services data, with final European services PMI the highlight at 09.00.

• UK services PMI follows at 09.30, released alongside the BOE credit conditions survey.

• US ISM manufacturing follows at 15.00.

Trade Idea:

• Is the yen picking up the dollar’s mantle? It’s too early to tell, but the pound is worthy vehicle to test this new trend due to its inherent weakness.

                         

A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the GBP/JPY will close below 181.00 in 10 days time for a potential return of 127%.
