shark — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:45:58 +0000

This months UK news reports, CPI and Core Cpi came out, and in the same direction, there was enough difference for a predicable market move

There was a good opportunity for a trade – and I did enter a trade of the currency pair GBP/USD this time – a winner!

On Tuesday 10-18-11 at 4:30 AM ET, the GBP Consumer Price Index YoY report was released.

Also 2 other reports:

GBP Core Consumer Price Index YoY

The CPI, and RPI are released by the U.K.s National Statistics on a monthly basis.

There was a good opportunity for a trade – and I did enter a trade of the currency pair GBP/USD this time – a winner!

For an idea how this report worked out, here is what happened:

GBP Consumer Price Index YoY stats:

previous = 4.5%

forecast = 4.9%

Actual = 5.1%

Here is how I was set up:

GBP 4-30AM-ET-10-18-11
Looking for a 0.2% difference
Actual > Forecast = Good for GBP
GBP Consumer Price Index YoY
——actual——–forecast——–previous
_____5.2%_______4.9%_______4.5%
Out at 5.1 % or higher – BUY GBP/USD
Out at 4.7 % or lower – SELL GBP/USD
