Currency market: FX next week – GDP, USD/CAD, CAD/MXN and imports

GDP today last 3.2 and 2.6 consensus. While GDP averages may not trade overbought or oversold. at 3.2 and 2.6 remains far to high an overall price as 2.6 is located between the 10 and 11 year averages from 2.29 to 2.37.

The Atlanta Fed Now offers 3.5. The 3.5 is located at averages 3 year, 6 and 7. The 7 year average is perfect to the Atlanta Fed's forecast. But still to high an overall price.

GDP's proper location and any economic release is between the 1 - 5 year average. The 3.2 and 2.6 is today located above the 10 and 11 year averages and signifies to high a price.

The Atlanta Fed forecasts GDP by updates to each economic release then predicts GDP by using weather as a forecast tool. The weather aspects verifies my claim over years to purchase weather books to learn and understand a market price. Weather is statistics in action and the older the books the better, less expensive and more examples to Statistics.

In market trading is spoken ranges. In Weather books is taught the breakdown to ranges as Terciles, Quintiles, Quartiles, Deciles for 3, 4, 5 and 10. The market price is now scaled from 3 to 10 but overall must scale is 1 to 10.

Easier than the Atlanta Fed is obtain the GDP data from the RBNZ. The RBNZ will post today's GDP data tomorrow so traders are prepared for the next GDP release. AS well GDP is the insight to all economic releases.

The data allows for negative GDP forecasts as dobe in July.
