US ISM Manufacturing PMI


May 1, 2012 – Forex Trading Strategy



ISM or Institute for Supply Management is releasing its PMI (Purchasing Manager Index) today. As a leading indicator, traders generally pay attention to this report for hints of economic trend.
Here´s the forecast:
10:00am NY Time US ISM  Manufacturing PMI Forecast 53.0 Previous 53.4
ACTION: 55.5 SELL EURUSD/ 50.0 SELL USDJPY

DEFINITION:The Institute of Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Index measures the activity level of purchasing managers in the services sector, with a reading above 50 indicating expansion. A rising trend has a positive effect on the nation´s currency. To produce the index, purchasing managers are surveyed on a number of subjects including employment, production, new orders, supplier deliveries, and inventories.


Trade PlanWe´ll be looking for around 2.5 ~ 3.0 points of deviation for this trade. If a 55.5 or better number is released, we could see some USD strength, thererefore SELL EURUSD. If the opposite is true, or 50.0 figure is released, expect to see weaker USD in the short term, therefore we should SELL USDJPY.
If our tradable releases are reached, there is a good expectation of 50 pips of market movement within the next 60 minutes on EURUSD.
