YEN SELL OFF
Good evening,
the ECB monthly report showed, today, a possible and gradual economic recovery in 2013 (thanks to a greater consumer confidence) and an inflation rate, this year, below 2%.
The negative data in the Australian labor market (fewer employees) put the Australian dollar weaker, waiting for the " correlation test " of tomorrow with the release of Chinese GDP data.
The stock market ended a positive session, after a weak opening, thanks to the positive American data of the real estate situation in december (better than expected) and of the jobless claims (lower than expected).
We had a good session for the Dollar Index as well as for the most important commodities.
Pay attention tomorrow to volatility that could arise with the usual Confidence Index issued by the University of Michigan!
ANALYSIS
Usd/Yen and Aud/Yen: as we saw yesterday, in my daily video analysis, all currencies related to Japanese Yen had a strong bullish movement due to heavy selling of the japanese currency. As announced I took long positions in Usd and Aud placing pending Buy Limit orders considering a possible temporary retracement of the price in order to have a better risk/reward ratio and improve my performance. Both orders were achieved and are generating very good profits. For both trades I’ve been closing a 50% of my position, moving my stop loss to break even. Now I wait for a possible break out of the resistance levels (confirmed) to see an upward move and obtaining a greater reward with my two free-risk operations!
Greetings to everybody, see you tomorrow with the weekly video!
