After the continuing comeback of the dollar at the wake of the new week, the greenback stopped to rest. Also Tuesday doesn’t provide too many indicators, but two things will stand out: German Industrial Production and a speech by Timothy Geithner. Let’s see what’s on the menu:
Australian ANZ Job Advertisements start the day. The fell by 7.5% last time, and they should rise this time. Also in Australia, NAB Business Confidence.
Japanese Leading Indicators are expected to rise to 77.3%. Also in Japan, Prelim Machine Tool Orders.
German Trade Balance is expected to show a rising surplus, and reach 9.4 billion. In France, the deficit in Trade Balance is predicted to squeeze to 4.4 billion.
Later, German Industrial Production is predicted to decline by 0.2%, after staying unchanged last time. This is a significant figure for EUR/USD. Yesterday’s German Factory Orders were unchanged, exactly as expected. The number for the previous month was revised upwards, but that didn’t help the Euro against the dollar’s landslide.
