Trade Recommendations for current Session

There is nothing to really trade today as price action has been relatively subdued across major crosses and pairs following RBA coming out neutral and the market awaiting important releases of data from the ECB and the US later in the week.

The USD gained against all of its major pairs overnight as the USDJPY rose dramatically due to a technical move on the markets, causing a knock on effect to all USD pairs. The AUD dipped overnight,this is likely due to USD strength and the RBA releasing neutral data.

 Going into the session we have a case of USD strength not affected by sentiment or fundament, essentially a case of a fund has bought USD in large volume which has caused the USD to rally.

Today we have some construction PMI data from the UK and manufacturing PMI from the US, but I don’t expect that either will have a notable affect on the market.

Pre Session events

Little has happened across the markets overnight, there has been a large technical purchase of USD which has seen the USD rise overnight as US employees return to work following Labour Day.Elsewhere there has been a neutral statement made by the RBA, to sum up at this point there is little opportunity to make any well informed trades, I would simply advise to keep an eye on upcoming news events and watch for the USD to fallback on gains made overnight as there has been no fundamental or sentimental change to the currency.
