Dollar Backs Off After NFP Rally

Morning Report: 09.00 London

• The US dollar index is subsiding slightly after a barnstorming set of economic items on Friday. Today’s losses are still nothing to Friday’s gains, but it’s enough to ease the pressure on the dollar pairs. The S&P 500 also enjoyed Friday’s activities, but is showing some follow on buying this morning.

                                                                    

                               

                               
                                                                                                                                                                   
• The main mover is the AUD/USD, up 0.61% so far, with the AUD/JPY up another 0.31%. The NZD/USD is up 0.27% by association.

                               

                               

• The yen pairs are on the back foot as the USD/JPY pulls back from Friday’s highs. The GBP/JPY is one of the biggest movers on weekend speculation that a rate cut is now pushing further into 2015.

                               

                               

Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have Canadian Ivey PMI at 15.00 as the only item of real note.

Trade Idea:

We’ve had many false dawns for gold of late, but Friday’s dollar induced plunge could see at least a settling of the price in the short term. The precious metal now looks significantly over sold in the short and medium term, making a HIGHER trade look attractive.

                               

A HIGHER trade predicting that gold will close above $1225 in 14 days time could return 300% if successful.
