On Thursday, 01-28-10 at 6:30 PM ET, the Japan Statistics Bureau released the monthly JPY Tokyo Core Consumer Price Index and JPY National Core Consumer Price Index YoY reports

There were 2 additional reports as well.

The additional reports are:

JPY Jobless Rate
JPY Household Spending (YoY)

I did a “preview” post of these reports. Click here for a review.

Even though I did set up to trade the GBP/JPY currency pair, the two major reports did not come out in the same direction – so I did not enter a trade.

Here is what Is happening with these 2 reports:

JPY Tokyo Core Consumer Price Index YoY – Stats

Previous = -1.9%

Forecast = -1.8%

Actual = -2.0%

JPY National Core Consumer Price Index YoY – Stats

Previous = -1.7%

Forecast = -1.3%

Actual = -1.3%

Here is how I was set up and what happened:

JPY-4-30PM-01-28-10
Looking for a 0.2% difference
Actual > Forecast = Good for JPY
JPY Tokyo Core CPI y/y
——actual———-forecast———-previous
_____-2.0%_____-1.8%________-1.9%
Bad – “actual” came out lower then “forecast” by 0.2%
Bad – “actual” came out lower then “previous” by 0.1%

JPY National Core CPI y/y
——actual———-forecast———-previous
____-1.3%________-1.3%______  -1.7%
Out at -1.6% or higher SELL  GBP/JPY
Out at -2.0% or lower BUY  GBP/JPY
Neutral – “actual” came out just as “forecast”
Good – “actual” out higher then “previous” by 0.4%

Here are the charts:

a one minute AUDJPY chart

This currency pair AUD/JPY currency pair moved up for 40 minutes about 30 PIPS – right direction

a one minute CAD/JPY chart

This currency pair CAD/JPY currency pair moved up for 40 minutes about 34 PIPS – right direction

a one minute EUR/JPY chart

This currency pair EUR/JPY currency pair moved up for 40 minutes about 35 PIPS – right direction

a one minute GBP/JPY chart

The next scheduled release of these two reports on Thursday, 02-25-10 at 6:30 PM ET, at this point in time there may be additional reports released at the same time.

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

Stay tuned!

I did a “follow up” post of last months report. Click here to see what happened.

I will set up to trade the GBP/JPY currency pair if the two major reports come out in the same direction with the “actual” Tokyo Core Consumer Price Index having a difference of 0.2% or more from the “forecast“.

Last month I had a losing trade with the currency pair GBP/JPY – I neglected to record  the currency charts, but I will try again.

JPY Tokyo Core Consumer Price Index YoY – Stats

Previous = -1.9%

Forecast = -1.8%

JPY National Core Consumer Price Index YoY – Stats

Again, it appears that the two report “forecast” are not at odds .

I repeat, I will set up to trade the GBP/JPY currency pair – if both reports are not in conflict and there is a difference between the “actual” and the “forecast” of 0.2% or more.

Here is my set p for tomorrow:

JPY-4-30PM-01-28-10
Looking for a 0.2% difference

JPY Tokyo Core CPI y/y
——actual———-forecast———-previous
________________-1.8%________-1.9%

On Thursday, 10-29-09 at 7:30 PM ET, the Japan Statistics Bureau will released the monthly JPY Tokyo Core Consumer Price Index and JPY National Core Consumer Price Index YoY reports

I posted a “preview” on Wednesday, 10-28-09, click here for a review.

I had not set up to trade this report, but wanted to watch and see what was going on.

Here is what happened on Thursday:

JPY Tokyo Core Consumer Price Index YoY – Stats

Previous = -2.1%

Forecast = -2.0%

Actual = -2.2%
Bad – the “actual” came out lower then “forecast” by 0.2%, and lower then “previous” by 0.1%.

JPY National Core Consumer Price Index YoY – Stats

Previous = -2.0%

Forecast = -2.3%

Actual = -2.3%
Bad – the “actual” came out at the “forecast“ by 0.1% and lower then the “previous” by 0.3%.

I watched only 5 currency pairs, AUD/JPY, CAD/JPY, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY and
USD/JPY.

Only 3 currency pairs registered any amount of movement.

Here are the charts:

a one minute EUR/JPY chart

This currency pair EUR/JPY moved up about 24 PIPS in 14 minutes – the direction it should have moved.

a one minute GBP/JPY chart

This currency pair GBP/JPY moved up about 31 PIPS in 15 minutes – the direction it should have moved.

a one minute USD/JPY chart

This currency pair USD/JPY moved up only about 9 PIPS in 15 minutes – the direction it should have moved.

Looks like the currency pair GBP/JPY had the best move for the second month in a row.

The next scheduled release of these two reports on Monday, 11-23-09 at 7:30 PM ET, at this point in time there may be additional reports released at the same time.

I had not set to trade this report, but wanted to watch and see what was going on.

Here is what happened then:

JPY Tokyo Core Consumer Price Index YoY – Stats

Previous = -1.8%

Forecast = -2.2%

Actual = -2.1%

JPY Tokyo Core Consumer Price Index YoY – Stats

Previous = -2.1%

Forecast = -2.0%

JPY National Core Consumer Price Index YoY – Stats

Previous = -2.0%

Forecast = -2.3%

It appears that the two reports are at odds .

I am not sure which report has the greatest impact on the market, so I will not trade unless both are headed in the same direction.

I will set up to trade the GBP/JPY currency pair – if both reports are not in conflict and there is a difference between the “actual” and the “forecast”, I may enter a trade if the market is moving.

Soon after the reports have been released I will post a “follow up” report of the results.
