Markets Rally on Fed Caution


Morning Report: 06.45 London


• This morning, markets continue to enjoy the cautious bias the FOMC is taking towards a potential 2015 rate hike. There was little new in last night’s FOMC minute release, but air of caution still remains. This has been a shot in the arm for dollar pairs and stock markets alike, while the dollar index continues to slip lower on a daily basis.
                         

              

• The Australian and New Zealand dollar continue to set the pace as a delayed US rate hike is seen as a shot in the arm for the Australian economy via China.
                                               

                     
                      

• Elsewhere, the euro is joining other dollar pairs in rallying after French industrial production came in above expectations this morning.

                      

Coming up today:

• This morning, we have UK trade balance data at 09.30.

• This is followed at 13.30 with Canadian employment change and unemployment rate. This released alongside US import prices.

• Following this we have FOMC member Lockhart speaking at 14.10, the BIC business outlook survey at 15.30 and FOMC member Evans speaking at 18.30.

Trade Idea:

• The GBP/JPY has been remarkably consistent with its daily gains this week and this could continue as the dollar continues to drop.

                      

A good way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that the GBP/JPY will close above 186.00 in 14 days for a potential return of 165%.
