Good Afternoon,

The week starts to get a bit hectic with the FOMC and retail sales tomorrow. Then claims on Thursday as well as PPI and then we wrap up the week with CPI on Friday. PPI and CPI should be non-events given the Fed will say that inflationary pressures are well below the worry threshhold. To prove it, take a look at prices at the pump.

Good Afternoon,

Lots of data to review and preview. We finished the week with "fiscal cliff" uncertainty, or did we? More on that in a bit. But first, the data. Claims, ISM Services and the unemployment report came in better than expected. The manufacturing sector came in worse than expected. Overall, a pretty quiet and week and as expected, economic data is taking a back seat to fiscal cliff deal data.

Good Afternoon,

The fundamentals keep us in a wait and see mode. The daily fiscal cliff scenario is just part of a big, big week of central bank meetings and a slew of USD data over the next few days, cluminating with the jobs report. Could we get a negative print? Definitely within expectations.

Good Afternoon,

The fundamental picture worsens (but who cares). If you do, today's ISM Manufacturing report dipped into contraction territory. The New Orders index dropped to a 3 month low and the Employment index droped to the lowest level since September 2009.

The SPX is dancing between 1420 and 1390 and sold off a bit today, but with 30 minutes until the close, could we have a late day buying frenzy? I will update the SPX chart when it breaks out of the current 30 point range.

Good Evening,

Just to wrap up the fundamentals from last week, CHPM barely hung in over 50. The employment component rose a bit, but new orders was pretty poor. This week is a "biggy". "Biggy" in quotation marks, because the fundamentals seem like they matter no more than when Europe was in the "bail/fail" mode.

Forex trading is one of the riskiest forms of investment available in the financial markets and suitable for sophisticated individuals and institutions. The possibility exists that you could sustain a substantial loss of funds and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose.
