Tomorrow, Friday, 08-06-10 at 4:30 AM ET the GBP Industrial Production MoM, and Manufacturing Production MoM reports will be released.

Two other GBP reports are being released this time:

GBP PPI Input m/m
GBP PPI Output m/m

On Sunday, 07-18-10, I wrote a “follow up” post for the last month, click here for a review.

The Industrial Production reports appear to have the greatest impact on the currency markets, but the impact can be even greater if the Industrial Production and Manufacturing Production both come out moving in the same direction, both negative or positive.

There was not enough difference between the “actual” and the “forecast” last month and  a trade was not executed.

All 4 of these reports are released by the UK National Statistics Publication Hub.

Lets set this up for 08-06-10.

GBP – Industrial Production MoM stats:

Previous = 0.7%

Forecast = 0.3%

Manufacturing Production MoM stats:

Previous = 0.3%

Forecast = 0.5%

It appears these two reports may be in conflict – careful here.

Here is how I am set up for tomorrow:

GBP-2-30AM-08-06-10
Looking for a 0.4% difference
Actual > Forecast = Good for GBP
GBP Industrial Production (MoM)
——actual———-forecast——-previous
________________0.3%_______0.7%
Out at 0.7% or higher – SELL EUR/GBP
Out at -0.1%  or lower- BUY EUR/GBP
GBP Manufacturing Production m/m
________________0.5%_______ 0.3%
Watch for conflict       Trade against it??

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

The next scheduled release of this report will be on Tuesday, 09-07-10 at 4:30 AM ET.

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

Stay tuned!
