The Trading Week Ahead

The NFP results came in weaker than expected, and the average hourly earnings were lower than anticipated. This indicates that workers are earning less for their labor, which isn't a good sign for the economy. As a result, the US dollar weakened.

Now, let's discuss some key events and what happened last Friday when we saw the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) data release. The NFP results came in weaker than expected, and the average hourly earnings were lower than anticipated. This indicates that workers are earning less for their labor, which isn't a good sign for the economy. As a result, the US dollar weakened.

Last week, I was leaning towards a bullish stance on the US dollar, but now, I'm inclined to think we need to see a recovery in the market. I have a couple of short positions on EUR/USD and GBP/USD, but they are more short-term trades.

So, what's on the horizon this week?

1. Today, we're closely watching the Services PMI for Europe, set to be released at 8:00 PM Australian time. The previous reading was 47.8, and expectations are for it to remain at that level. If it comes in lower than expected, it could weigh on the Euro.

2. Tomorrow, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) will announce its interest rate decision. Market sentiment is split, with some expecting a rate hike and others a pause. I'm leaning towards a 25 basis point rate hike, but the rate statement and press conference will provide more insights.

In conclusion, it's shaping up to be an eventful trading week. Don't forget to join our free webinar to access my trading strategy and stay informed about market developments. I'm looking forward to an interactive and insightful session with traders from around the globe. Subscribe to the channel, give this video a thumbs up, and I'll see you in the next one. Happy trading!
