  • U.S. retail sales falter in August

    From marketwatch.com

    Sales at U.S. retailers fell 0.3% in August and declined for the first time in five months, as store traffic dropped off for almost all stores except grocers and clothing outlets. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had forecast a 0.1% decline. Retail sales have zig-zagged for months but are weaker compared to a few years ago. Some segments such as online shopping have been doing great while more traditional sellers such as department stores have fared poorly. In August, hardly any retail segments did well.

most of the big player waiting for FOMC statement on wednesday......5 minutes prior to rate decision sell USD i guess
US Data cannot be discarded! It carried weight for decision making.

It's pure manipulation to keep USD high and OIL low, you know, cheap OIL for USA.
Regardless of data, a rate hike will occur. Last time, when they hiked 0,25%, it barely had an effect on the USD. It's not whether they will do it or not, it's how much will they...
That's just my opinion.
buy usd preferably in my case sell gbpusd its already been bearish for the last 3 days ... and i wondering when is september hikes...
USD will go now in red

Might as well go to a casino and put your money on red or black, my friend. Why not wait a few minutes after the FOMC statement to avoid a whipsaw and then make your trades with the trend? Be flat in dollar pairs before the event if you can.

To trade safely with as little 'guessing' as possible is to trade well with a purpose.

Does colour all that matters?

Core Retails Sales was -0.3% (adjusted to 0.4%) now it is -0.1%

If the forecast was -0.2%, then the colour would have been Green.

Do not look the colour alone, check result along previous figures, colour has only to do with above or below forecast.
Rate hike expectation is now lowered with lot of red data. But the actual USD sell off will happen after the FOMC minutes, keeping rate unchanged come next Wednesday!
All in Red,but mkt move upward for US $ only ,then why should release the Data if its +ve or -ve mkt move only upward,its didn't consider no one,well mkt Good Manipulation keep it up in the same way....

Well i look the data like jobless claim up to 260k but still better,the data still good,ppi better than previous,manufacturing us rebound up like philadelphia manufacturing up,empire state manufacturing better than previous,bussiness inventories still good but capatilization utility and retail sales down but not bad,many people say us reccession but i see no because if reccession unemployment up until 10% you can see the data 2008-2009 unemployment rate up very high but now unemployment stable at 4,9%,so far from reccession so if see the fed rate hike still open,the fed independent not depend on survey
