IT'S FRIDAY!!!!! CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!
Top that celebration off by taking advantage of the Retail Sales & the Core Retail Sales that will be announced by the U.S. Census Bureau later this evening at 10:30 AM (UTC+9). Both of these announcements came out at the same time also on February 15, 2011. The charts below shows the result of the previous Core Retail Sales with a -0.3% decrease & the Retail Sales with a -0.2% decrease.
USD/JPY 30 min. chart; 25-point drop.
GBP/USD 30-minute chart; 49-point rise
EUR/USD 30- minute chart; 48-point rise
Tonight's forecast is calling for a 0.4% increase on the Core Retail Sales & a 0.5% increase on the Retail Sales. Any results less than what is forecasted may cause the GBP/USD & EUR/USD rate to rise and the USD/JPY rate to drop.
