Tomorrow 01-07-10 at 10:00 AM ET, the CAD Ivey Purchasing Managers Index report will be released.

This report is released by Richard Ivey School of Business on a monthly basis.

The last time this report was released alone was on Thursday, 11-05-09 at 10:00 AM ET. Click here to see what happened.

Here is what is happening tomorrow:

CAD Ivey Purchasing Managers Index report Stats

previous = 55.9

forecast = 52.2

Here is how I am set up:

CAD-8-00AM-01-07-10
Looking for a 4 difference
Actual > Forecast = Good for CAD
CAD Ivey PMI
.               . actual . forecast . previous
.            .                 .52.2             .55.9
Out at 56.2 or higher – SELL GBP/CAD
Out at 48.2 or lower – BUY GBP/CAD

I believe I will set up to trade the currency pair GBP/CAD this time – so, if the “actual” comes out with a difference of at least 4.0 from the “forecast” – a trade may be in the works.

I did post a “follow up” of this report soon after, click here to see what happened.

The next scheduled release of this Canadian report will be on Friday, 02-05-10, and again it appears it will be a “stand alone“ report.

I will probably post a “preview” a day or two prior.

Stay tuned!
