Trading News Events: U.K. Manufacturing Production (based on the article)

What’s Expected:



Why Is This Event Important:

Beyond the looming U.K. Referendum in June, positive data prints coming out of the region may put increased pressure on the Bank of England (BoE) to normalize monetary policy sooner rather than later as central bank officials see a risk of overshooting the 2% inflation target over the policy horizon.

However, waning demand from home and abroad may drag on business outputs, and an unexpected contraction in industrial & manufacturing production may drag on the British Pound as it gives the BoE greater scope to retain the record-low interest rate for an extended period of time.

How To Trade This Event Risk

Bullish GBP Trade: Industrial & Manufacturing Production Rebounds in March

  • Need red, green-minute candle following the report to consider a long British Pound trade.
  • If market reaction favors bullish sterling trade, short GBP/USD with two separate position.

  • Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit, set reasonable limit.
Bearish GBP Trade: U.K. Business Outputs Fall Short of Market Forecast
  • Need red, five-minute candle to favor a short GBP/USD trade.
  • Implement same setup as the bullish British Pound trade, just in reverse.
Potential Price Targets For The Release

Trading News Events: Bank of England Official Bank Rate (based on the article)

What’s Expected:



Why Is This Event Important:

Indeed, Governor Mark Carney may continue to argue that the next move will be to normalize monetary policy, but the central bank may sound increasingly cautious this time around as the U.K. Referendum clouds the economic outlook for the region.

Nevertheless, sticky inflation paired signs of stronger wage growth may spur a dissent within the MPC, and a split vote to retain the current policy may generate a bullish reaction in the British Pound as it puts increased pressure on the BoE to normalize monetary policy sooner rather than later.

How To Trade This Event Risk

Bearish GBP Trade: BoE Trims Growth & Inflation Forecast
  • Need red, five-minute candle following the GDP report to consider a short sterling trade.
  • If market reaction favors bearish British Pound trade, short GBP/USD with two separate position.
  • Set stop at the near-by swing high/reasonable distance from entry; look for at least 1:1 risk-to-reward.
  • Move stop to entry on remaining position once initial target is hit, set reasonable limit.
Bullish GBP Trade: MPC Adopts More Hawkish Outlook for Monetary Policy
  • Need green, five-minute candle to favor a long GBP/USD trade.
  • Implement same setup as the bearish British Pound trade, just in the opposite direction.
Potential Price Targets For The Release
GBPUSD Daily


  • Even though GBP/USD remains stuck in a narrow range ahead of the BoE meeting, the pair may make a more meaningful attempt to threaten the downward trend carried over from August, with the pound-dollar at a risk for a further advance as long as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) retains the bullish formation from earlier this year.
  • Interim Resistance: 1.4910 (61.8% retracement) to 1.4930 (38.2% expansion)
  • Interim Support: 1.3870 (78.6% expansion) and 1.3960 (50% expansion)

hi, i checked this release on randoms sites and found the result of release is considered as a bullish for EUR but in meta trader calendar i found it 

Red, is that true we can not consider always this as a true fact: Actual <>Forecast or Previous is Bullish or Bearish ???

 

isn't it a bug ??? or regardless of comparison between Actual Previous and forecast values, any value bellow zero is considered as a bearish for EUR ?

otherwise the actual is bigger than previous so it should be considered as good signal for EUR ! 

 

The color may be related to the country (or with anything else), and I think the color is not about 'Actual <>Forecast or Previous is Bullish or Bearish'.

I think - you are talking about Irish CPI (2016-05-12 10:00 GMT | [EUR - Irish CPI]) but there are few news events at this time: monthly CPI (0.2% actual vs 0.4% previous), yearly CPI (-0.1% actual vs -0.3% previous), HICP and more. So, this idea is good one:

if actual > forecast (or previous one) = good for currency (for EUR in our case)

but it is more related to high or medium impacted news events (news events with medium/high priority). For example, monthly CPI is more impacted than yearly value, and core value is more impocted than simple one, CPI is more impacted than HICP, and so on. And if we look at the monthly CPI (most impacted news event in that time) so it was as the following:

0.2% actual < 0.4% previous one = bad for EUR (bearish for EUR/USD):



But anyway, Irish CPI is not significant news event - this is low impacted news event - means: news event with low priority (I do not think that the market or pair was moved based on some value of Irish CPI ...).
