Forex Daily Outlook – August 24th 2009

The forex trading week starts slowly, with Canadian Retail Sales standing out in the summer heat. Let’s see what’s on the menu today:

Australia starts the day and the week with  New Motor Vehicle Sales. They rose nicely by 5.7% last time. Will it continue?

For more on the Australian dollar, read the AUD/USD Outlook.

In Europe,  Industrial New Orders have disappointed for many months. Expectations are high again, this time for a rise of 1.7%. For more on the Euro, read the EUR/USD Outlook.

In Canada, Retail Sales should have a serious impact on the loonie. Retail Sales aren’t expected to change, while Core Retail Sales are predicted to rise by only 0.2%. These low expectations can be met with a surprise, helping the Canadian dollar.

That’s it for today. Don’t worry, the next days contain interesting figures…

Yohay Elam: Founder, Writer and Editor I have been into forex trading for over 5 years, and I share the experience that I have and the knowledge that I've accumulated. After taking a short course about forex. Like many forex traders, I've earned a significant share of my knowledge the hard way. Macroeconomics, the impact of news on the ever-moving currency markets and trading psychology have always fascinated me. Before founding Forex Crunch, I've worked as a programmer in various hi-tech companies. I have a B. Sc. in Computer Science from Ben Gurion University. Given this background, forex software has a relatively bigger share in the posts.
