Markets Calm Before NFP  


Morning Report: 9.00 London

• This morning, markets are calm ahead of this afternoon’s US Non Farm Payrolls. The S&P 500 achieved its target of retrieving the 10 period moving average and seems content to sit until receiving further instructions.
                                                                 

                               

                                                                                                                                               
• The yen pairs are the bigger movers as money flows back into the yen, primarily due to a lack of dollar interest rather than Japanese strength. The biggest mover is the AUD/JPY due to soft retail sales data and poor Chinese PPI data.

                              

                             

                             

• Elsewhere, the euro is off the lows, but not by much.

                            
                       
Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have UK manufacturing production at 09.30 with trade balance released at the same time. UK GDP estimates follow at 13.30.

• US Non Farm Payrolls are the big ticket, with a gain of +241k on the cards and the unemployment rate expected to drop to drop to 5.7%.

• Canadian employment data is released at the same time.

Trade Idea:

• The Canadian dollar has been weakened by low oil prices in recent weeks, with the USD/CAD now at its highest level since May 2009. There could be further upside from here regardless of payroll data as oil prices remain at depressed levels.

                               

A good way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that the USD/CAD will close ABOVE 1.1900 in 5 days time for a potential return of 197%.
