Labor Day of 2008 - Hurricane Gustav Ahead of Busy Week

No Holiday’s for Currency Traders

The US and Canada are closed for Labour Day on Monday - but subscribers to this blog know that I have called numerous currency moves in the past over such US Holiday’s. This Monday is no exception with Hurricane Gustav expected to make landfall on the Louisiana coast around midday Monday! (Tune in to my live webinar at 12 Noon EDT 16:00 GMT - Click here to Register)

Scheduled Economic Events - The Weather?

After the financial markets - the most unpredictable thing in the world is the weather. The weather has long been watched by the futures markets as it has a profound  affect on the agricultural markets. Hurricane tracking used to be quite spotty - but has become quite good over the past few years.

Hurricane Gustav - More Dangerous than Katrina

Meteorologists and Economic Analysts consensus currently agree that Hurricane Gustav is more dangerous than Katrina as it is threatening to push a 20 foot storm surge through the Gulf of Mexico and is taking aim at the Offshore Oil wells and Onshore Refineries. The city of New Orleans is being evacuated and the Republican Convention is considering postponing it’s opening ceremonies. The possibility of Gustav affecting the currency charts is high. 

Busy Week Ahead -BOE - ECB  Interest Rates - NFP and More…..

This week brings Interest Rate Announcements from Australia, Canada, the UK, and the Euro Zone - Friday brings the NFP - US Non Farm Payroll Employment Report with lot’s of other data being released throughout the week - So It’s back to work for the institutions.

Poor PPI and Dismal Housing Start Data Provides Dollar Retracement

US inflation data is being quoted as the worst since 1981. The US Housing market continues to show severe contraction. This may actually be a good sign that we are approaching the “bottom of the cycle. It is refreshing when government officials have stepped away from their “rose colored windows” and have begun stating the “true” inflation numbers - even if it means they will need to pay higher Cost of Living Allowances, otherwise known as “COLAS” .

Yesterday’s Blog Post - Today’s News

Yesterday - I posted a few charts and did a video detailing some signs that we were due for a retracement - and that’s what we got the start of yesterday - click on the charts and video from today and yesterday.

Dollar Rally Stalls After Massive Move

What Goes Down Must Go ….. ?

The Greenback has made a dramatic run, but without much of a retracement. The Daily charts show the picture quite clearly. If the past is a guide, you can see the dramatic run up in the Euro in February and March and then the pullback - if for no other reason than to respect the laws of gravity!

Triangle in Play? Time for the Retracement?
