How to trade a surprise Fed decision

Can the market really be this complacent heading into a Fed decision?

On September 18, the Fed burned many market watchers with a surprise decision not to taper.

Welcome to the FX week! Monday morning Forex prices

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to all and welcome to the kick-off of the FX week.
With only the New Zealand market open at this time, market liquidity is super thin compared to most other times of the trading week, so please take care out there.
Price guide:
  • EUR/USD 1.3561
  • USD/JPY 98.21
  • GBP/USD 1.5979
  • USD/CHF 0.9096
  • USD/CAD 1.0368
  • AUD/USD 0.9420
  • NZD/USD 0.8292
Again, the usual caveats apply – it is relatively illiquid and prices can move sharply on not very much at all.

    • Forward indicators – including orders, stocks and capacity utilisation – point to future improvement.

    August 2013: Trading the Chinese Flash Manufacturing PMI

    I know past results don't guarantee future performance, but there is a lesson to be learned in looking at last month’s numbers.
    Chinese Flash Manufacturing PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) is based on a survey of purchasing managers in the manufacturing sector.
    Respondents are surveyed for their view of the economy and business conditions in China. A reading which is higher than the market forecast is bullish for the Australian dollar.
    Indicator Background. Traders should pay close attention …
