On Tuesday, 11-17-09 at 4:30 AM ET, the GBP – Consumer Price Index YoY and Core Consumer Price Index YoY reports were released.

These reports were released along with the GBP – Retails Price Index YoY.

The last time this report was released was on Tuesday, 10-13-09 at 4:30 AM ET .

This are my first post for this months reports.

I did a “previous” post on Monday. 11-16-09, click here to see.

This report is released by the U.K.s National Statistics on a monthly basis.

Here is what happened for this months reports:

GBP – Consumer Price Index YoY stats:

previous = 1.1%

forecast = 1.4%

Actual = 1.5%
Good – higher then “forecast” by 0.1%, higher then “previous” by 0.4%.

GBP – Core Consumer Price Index YoY stats:

previous = 1.7%

forecast = 1.7%

Actual = 1.8%
Good – higher then “forecast” by 0.1%, higher then “previous” by 0.1%.

I was set up to trade the currency pair GBP/USD if there was a difference of 0.2% between the “actual” and the “forecast”, not enough for a trade.
