Chinese data release tonight

Tonight sees the release of Chinese GDP and production over Q4
The Chinese data release tonight is something that could influence the markets
Traders believe the risk is to the downside - meaning the data should come in soft
Positioning over the markets has therefore been selling the commodity currencies
This means that Aud and Nzd have been sold, and are low
I tend to buy Aud and Nzd tonight, and if the data release is better than expected,

Contemplating EUR and USD dollar trades today

Today there are two big data releases: European GDP, and the NFP (US)
This morning German data release - factory orders came in strong
and the Eur/Usd shot up to 1.125 from 1.1210
This indicates the market is willing to buy the pair - strength is not over yet

There is a tough battle going on in this pair
