==========

"Chinese manufacturers signalled a modest deterioration in operating conditions at the start of 2016,  with  both  output  and  employment  declining  at slightly  faster  rates  than  in  December. Total new business meanwhile fell at the weakest rate in seven months, and despite a faster decline  in  new export  work.  Nonetheless,  lower  production  requirements  led  companies  to cut back on their purchasing activity and inventories of inputs. On the prices front, both input costs and output charges fell again in January, though at the weakest rates in seven months."

"At  48.4  in  January,  the  seasonally adjusted Purchasing Managers’ Index™ (PMI™) – a  composite  indicator  designed  to provide  a  single -figure  snapshot  of  operating  conditions  in  the  manufacturing  economy – remained  below  the  crucial  50.0  value  separating  growth  from  contraction  for  the  eleventh  successive  month.  The  reading  was  up  slightly  from 48.2  in  December,  and  sign alled  a  further  modest  deterioration in the overall health of China’s manufacturing sector."

The most interesting pair you can make money with - USD/CAD

USD/CAD: possible daily breakdown with bullish reversal. The daily price for the pair is located above Ichimoku cloud for the primary bullish market condition with the secondary correction which was started in the end of January this year: price crossed key support levels during the daily breakdown and stopped near 1.3946 level with 1.3814 target to re-enter to be reversed to the primary bearish market condition with the secondary ranging. Chinkou Span line is crossing the price to below on open daily bar for good breakdown to be started in the near future, and Absolute Strength indicator is estimating the local downtrend as the secondary correction to be continuing.

We are having 3 simple scenarios for the price movement for the week:

  • breakdown with bearish reversal in case the price breaks 1.3814 support,
  • bullish trend will be continuing in case the price breaks 1.4324 resistance,
  • or the ranging bullish condition within the levels.

"January  data  pointed  to  a  renewed  slowdown  in output  growth  across  the  UK  construction  sector.  At 55.0,  down  from  57.8  in  December,  the headline seasonally  adjusted Markit/CIPS  UK  Construction Purchasing Managers’ Index® (PMI®) remained well  above  the  50.0  no-change  value,  but signalled the  slowest  rate  of  expansion  since   April  2015. Moreover,   aside   from   the   pre-election   slowdown recorded last year, the latest reading was the lowest since  June  2013.  A  number of  survey  respondents noted that softer new business growth had  acted as a brake on output growth and staff hiring at the start of 2016."

Trading News Events: US ISM Non-Manufacturing (based on the article)

A slowdown in the ISM Non-Manufacturing survey may produce headwinds for the greenback and spur a near-term rally in EUR/USD as fears of a slowing recovery dampens bets for a Fed rate-hike in the first-half of 2016.

Why Is This Event Important:

Even though the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) appears to be on course to implement higher borrowing-costs, mixed data prints coming out of the U.S. may encourage the central bank to endorse a wait-and-see approach at the March 16 interest rate decision as the ongoing slack on the real economy undermines the Fed’s scope to achieve its 2% inflation target over the policy horizon.

Nevertheless, improved confidence accompanied by the pickup in the housing market may generate pickup in private-sector activity, and a stronger-than-expected ISM print may boost the appeal of the greenback as it reinforces Fed expectations for a consumption-driven recovery in 2016.

How To Trade This Event Risk
Bearish USD Trade: ISM Non-Manufacturing Slips to 55.2 or Lower
  • Need green, five-minute candle following the ISM print to consider a long EUR/USD trade.
  • If market reaction favors a bearish dollar trade, buy EUR/USD with two separate position.
  • Set stop at the near-by swing low/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 USD Trade: U.S. Service-Based Activity Unexpectedly Picks Up
  • Need red, five-minute candle to favor a short EUR/USD trade.
  • Implement same setup as the bearish dollar trade, just in the opposite direction.
Potential Price Targets For The Release
EURUSD Daily


  • The diverging paths for monetary policy casts a long-term bearish outlook for EUR/USD, but the pair may attempt to break out of the triangle/wedge formation carried over from the previous month should the ISM report push market participants to push out bets for the next Fed rate-hike.
  • Interim Resistance: 1.1052 (November high) to 1.1090 (50% retracement)
  • Interim Support: Interim Support: 1.0380 (78.6% expansion) to 1.0410 (61.8% expansion)
