How the GDP will affect the USD/JPY?

annatimone Veröffentlicht 7 Sep. in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Dollar #Yen #Japan #USD/JPY #Currency #Gdp #Economy #Us

The USD/JPY and the GDP: How Will it Affect this Currency Pair? The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country refers to a country’s total economic output. The number reflects the total production, income and consumption from different sectors that include manufacturing, services, agriculture, mining, and numerous other areas. To get the most accurate result, population growth, inflation and deflation should ideally be considered in the total. For example, if the population growth increases prop…

Some funny business in USD/CAD before the GDP numbers

annatimone Veröffentlicht 30 Aug. in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #USD/CAD #Gdp

A few minutes before the GDP numbers, USD/CAD jumped almost 20 pips and touched a one-week high of 1.0550. The temptation is to blame some kind of data leak (StatsCan has had problems in the past) but it’s more likely about positioning. Even if someone had the numbers ahead of time, the trade wasn’t clear. Quarterly GDP was stronger than expected but monthly GDP was weak so it could go either way. Instead, the move was likely due to some last-minute trading ahead of the results and buy stops abo…

Greek Q2 2013 GDP beats expectations

annatimone Veröffentlicht 12 Aug. in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Gdp #Economy #Unemployment #Greece #Youth Unemployment #Spiegel #Aid #Election #Gfc

Seasonally unadjusted GDP comes in at -4.6% from -5.0% exp giving a sliver good news to the ailing country. Greece also confirmed a primary budget surplus of €2.6bn for the year to July.

There’s 1.38m unemployed to 3.62m employed, but there is also 3.32m non-economically active. According to …

What to expect in the second quarter?

annatimone Veröffentlicht 30 July in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Market #Gdp #Growth #Retail Sales #Unemployment #Rates #Us Economy #Consumer Spending

In the first quarter’s revised U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) numbers, we found consumer spending in the U.S. economy was slow, dragging U.S. economic growth lower. Going forward, I can’t help but to expect more of the same. We are already getting warnings from major financial institutions that U.S. GDP growth in the second quarter will be dismal. The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc expects the U.S. economy to grow at only 0.8% in the second quarter. The Royal Bank of Scotland Group and Barclays …

Growth....a revised, revised approach?

annatimone Aktualisierte 28 July in #Miss Dukascopy 2013 #Inflation #Gdp #Growth #Unemployment #Data #Jobs #Government #Us Employment

The Office for National Statistics in the UK announced that second quarter growth showed an increase of 0.6% - the best growth figures since mid-2010. BUT, what does this growth figure actually mean to the wider population? The answer is very little. With other closely scrutinized numbers such as unemployment stats, and inflation figures, at least there is a relevance to peoples’ daily lives, but what about GDP?? The breakdown of this figure is where the real interest lies. The services side …
