Coming up at the bottom of the hour: US CPI and retail sales data

Yes folks, your US data risk at 13.30 GMT

Inflation is key to further rate hikes in the US, and indeed the UK so we await with interest. Retail sales ,albeit variable and seasonal are good indication to spending habits/trends/momentum

Also out NY Empire State mftg and Canadian HPI

We can, as always, expect the initial algo-led reaction however the data plays out so be ready with your entry/exit levels from whichever side you want to play.

Placing limit orders in advance can often be useful given the occasional speed of moves and subsequent reversals, although equally it can be prudent to wait and manually trigger executions once you've sized up the data in its entirety and gauged the price action.

I'm going to stick around and help Greg with the raft of data.

I wish you good trading.
