Money Flow Trading Method along with Risk Management

Hi BenjaminIs,

I went through the report that you shared in post 4505. Interesting post. My findings are - although summary is in the end.

- Lower taxes creates stimulus through multiplier effect. Tax savings are either spent or saved which is a good thing for the US.
- Taxes saved by companies should to a certain part be handed down to the worker (Reagonomics trickle down effect).
- Lower corporation taxes should create an influx in companies relocating to the US..especially China is worried here.
- Negative for US bond holders as can be seen by rising yields and falling bond prices
- Stock market should still be ok and the recent crash was merely a correction due
However debt will increase but this must be seen in relation to other western countries who have similar debt levels as the US. Moreover the US dominates global trade and world debt issuance there is no shortage of demand in bonds.

Currencies: 60% of all countries anchor their currency to the USD thus there is always demand for the dollar which keeps him up from jumping over the cliff. Other countries should be more concerned especially EU with Italy as its biggest problem from a political and financial standpoint. Fed also stopped printing money as opposed to the EUR giving the USD further strength. The pink elephant in the room are rising interest rates that sooner or later makes the payback of debt and asking for debt dearer. However it is not the USD and the US that has the problem but first Europe and then Japan.

Finally stocks should still go higher. Recent dip was normal and not a problem as usually when markets fear investors seek safe haven into bonds and gold which has not happened.

in summary. Long USD Short EUR. Long Stocks, Short Bonds. This is a long term investment stance.

My question here is ....due to the tax reforms a lot of this has already price in..hence the rise of the stock market since Trump was elected. What happens when the reform has been implemented? Would we not see a turnaround?

Another question. Why would spending be good for the US economy? The US hardly produces physical goods..ok cars but other than that the majority of products are still manufactured outside the US. Hence the dollars are actually flowing out again in exchange for products. Also the US population is not really famous for saving. I am a bit doubtful on this thinking.

Furthermore even if Trump goes ahead with his tarrifs (not included in the article) the problem is that the consumer still thinks twice whether to buy a very expensive american product. lets face it...All western nations are too expensive..everybody wants it cheap. Who wants to pay again 3000 USD for a television?

Dear Jester

Just send me your User ID and your Password and I will log on to your Forex Demo Account of $50,000 US Dollars and I will put all the symbols in order for you.

Good Evening.


Benjaminis

Houston , We have a problem. Jester for some UNKNOWN REASON all of a sudden all day and I tried three different times to open the FXCM UK $50,000 US Dollars Demo account and each time the Demo was only set up with $2000.00 US Dollars.

I just logged onto your FXCM UK Demo account to set up the symbols for you and you also only have $2000.00 US Dollars there instead of the $50,000 US Dollars needed.

The reason that 95% of ALL retail Forex Traders lose is because they do not trade with enough Capital. I NEVER would trade today with any less than $50,000 US Dollars and I have traded in the past with as little as $5000 Us Dollars. Using my special FOOL PROOF Formula of never trading more than 20% of the Total Funds under management you could only have one Forex Position on a one time and my scaling in method and other strategies do not work.

With your skills and experience you should do good once you learn the proper way to trade Forex however the only way this works for you or anyone is to trade and learn first on the $50,000 US Funds Demo account. Since you are located closer to the UK than I am would you have the 5 minutes or so to call them and ask them what the FXCM UK Demo account only has $2000.00 US Dollars in it. Please let me know. Thanks.

FINAL COMMENTS: You will NEVER read about these matters in the Mainstream Media. As part of my trading skills I decided 10 years ago that I needed to know and understand all these associated matters in order to understand what was really happening behind the scenes.
This is how I was able to develop My Money Flow Method over the last 5 years and it is why I am able to generate a ROI (Return On Investment) of 10% a month.
There of course is much more to achieving these results. There is NO TRADER whether trading Equities or Commodities or Forex that can succeed unless they have the DISCIPLINE to CONTROL first their EGO. (The Market Is Always Right) Then control their GREED and finally most important their FEAR !!!
Good Evening an enjoy your weekend.

Benjamin

It is quite easy to open a $50,000 US Dollars Demo Account with FXCM UK. Just log on and click on the link to open a $50,000 US Funds Practice account and set it to currency in US Dollars and you get your User Name and your Password.

SNIPPET:
Let's investigate belief in Goldilocks vs belief in Bears.

John Rubino at DollarCollapse says A Bull Market For The History Books — Bear Market To Follow Shortly.
Why the current expansion/bull market has so long is open to debate. What’s undeniable, though, is the vast amount of malinvestment that has accumulated. The biggest example might be corporations borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars to buy back their stock at record high prices. See Record Buybacks at Worst Possible Time. If those equities subsequently fall by half in a future bear market, today’s buybacks will end up as an object lesson in corporate hubris.

FAKE NEWS VS REAL FACTS or REALITY VS FALSE PERCEPTIONS !!!

SNIPPET:
Liz Ann Sonders says All Right Now: Goldilocks Jobs Report Eases Inflation Fears.
Key Points

1. A very strong jobs growth with benign wage pressures unleashed a strong day for the stock market.
2. Other than wage growth deceleration, the details of the report were quite healthy.
3. Tax reform can take some of the credit for stronger goods employment relative to services employment.
   In the wake of the release of January’s jobs report—which saw a jump in average hourly earnings—I had our fearless cartoonist Charlos Gary create the visual below, with the headline “Goldilocks may be leaving the building.” Notice that the little bond bear has been awakened (as Schwab’s Kathy Jones has been detailing); but the equity bears are still tucked in their beds—albeit with the non-recession bear keeping a cautious eye on the situation.
4. Courtesy of last week’s February jobs report though, it looks like Goldilocks may have taken a step back into the building. For those not familiar with the analogy, an economy that’s operating “not too hot, but not too cold” is often referred to as a Goldilocks environment. We have been in such an environment as it relates to economic growth and wages/inflation for much of the current economic expansion.

SNIPPET: Just as President Bill Clinton once said "Do You Remember ?" His Impeachment Trial.

Perfect Payrolls?
Jeffrey Snider writing for Alhambra Investments write about the Return of The Perfect Payrolls.
Over the past two days, Chinese exports exploded, US payrolls bested 300k, and China’s CPI recorded the hottest inflation in 5 years. Globally synchronized growth?
It might be tempting to view this recent positive report cluster in that way, but, again, we’ve seen these before.


The other big problem with the current BLS figures for February 2018 is that +311k sounds impressive but it shouldn’t. It does only because the labor market is just that weak. What I mean by that is any reasonable standard for meaningful growth is so far above what we have become accustomed to. It’s not that the labor data is misleading on its face, it’s that the interpretations of them haven’t been re-calibrated properly for the last decade.

SNIPPET:
Using the averages for the late nineties, the Establishment Survey if it represented solid growth would gain almost 4 million payrolls in 2018. That would be an average of 320k per month. The latest estimate for 311k is actually below average. That means everyone is celebrating as some kind of blowout what would otherwise fall as a weak month under more reasonable analysis. That’s how bad the labor market has been for so many years.


And it’s an outlier, but it’s not the first. The BLS data shows that in June and July 2016, for example, payrolls gained +285k and then +325k, respectively. Taken in isolation, those two “blowout” months seemed to suggest economic acceleration in keeping with the “reflation” sentiment that was then just forming. We know, for that labor market anyway, those two perfect reports were quickly forgotten, mere statistical noise that represented instead more of the same – the good months, even two in a row, are the exception.

SNIPPET:
Average weekly earnings, which are even more noisy month-to-month, rose just 3.2% year-over-year in February after being nearly flat, +0.8%, in January.

Despite the unemployment rate sticking at 4.1% for the fifth straight month, there isn’t the slightest hint that earnings let alone wages are accelerating; nor is there any indication they are about to.

Is it the beginning of the labor market finally stabilizing after three years of slowing? Or is it Harvey and Irma?

Given the inherent lags economy to employment, it is possible that what’s indicated in February is the trailed effects of the artificial hurricane boost.

This is where the noise works against us (like the middle of 2016). There is, right now, simply no way to tell.

Global Synchronization
There's much more in Snider's article that bears a closer look.

It's interesting that he kicked off with a question about global synchronization.

Jim Bianco at Bianco Research just wrote about that. I covered it in Synchronized Global Growth is Ending: Shocks Come Next.
Where is Goldilocks?

Is Goldilocks in the room or out of the room?
Curiously, that's not even the right question. Even if Goldilocks is is in the room with the inflation and recession bears slumbering, are stock valuations so stretched that it does not matter where she is?

That's my belief. I suspect we are right about here:
https://imageproxy.themaven.net/http...YkGPzkHvech8jw
Stocks are tremendously overvalued.
In Sucker Traps and the Arithmetic of Risk I noted that John Hussman expects equities to decline as much as 67% from here.

That may be a bit high, but it's a well-researched target. Even flat returns for the next seven years would crucify pension plans.

Goldilocks? No one will be talking about a Goldilocks environment no matter what inflation or jobs do once stock valuations start returning to normal.

Mike "Mish" Shedlock

COMMENTS FROM BENJAMINIS: As you can see from this very accurate article that you will never hear about or will be discussed on CNBC if you only see one side of the coin then you cannot make the right investment decisions.

I have not answered your questions because you first need to learn the difference between FALSE NARRATIVES or Consensus thinking based on a view of all points of view on both sides of the coin otherwise you only see a one headed coin and cannot possibly understand the difference between FALSE PERCEPTIONS and REALITY !!!


Benjaminis

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND REALITY !!!

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-...ops+to+zero%29

SNIPPET:
Optimistic View
Compared to me, John Hussman, GMO, and a handful of others, Bianco presents an optimistic view. Then again, I am not watching the next 3-4 months. I am concerned about the next seven years.


What most caught my eye is Bianco's view on the MSCI World Index and US treasuries.
Typically, rot starts at the periphery, the spreads to the core. Anyone remember subprime? Eventually, it all became subprime.
It's going to happen again.


Arithmetic of Risk
Stocks are tremendously overvalued. In Sucker Traps and the Arithmetic of Risk I noted that some expect equities to decline as much as 67% from here.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/defa...20%2810%29.jpg
I think we are somewhere in the box as shown.
Unlike Bianco, I won't put a timeframe on much of anything. But note his big winner: 10-year US treasuries.

This is at a time when most of the rest of the world is screaming inflation.
My view is that Inflation is in the Rear-View Mirror.

Debt-deflation is on the way and gold will be the beneficiary. If you disagree, please read the above article before moaning.
My definition of inflation may not be the same as yours. Mine is based on real-world economics, and we are in for a world of hurt.


Benjaminis

I use RISK OFF if when North America Equity markets open at 9:30 AM New York Time as selling off. I also need to see the SP500 as selling off as well.

HOWEVER things can change in seconds so there are KEY Points to watch between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM. This is option expiry at 10:00 AM each day and news releases at 10:00 AM if there are any. Then we use Charts (5 Minutes) to see Top and Bottom of Range. We only short if we sense Top of the Range. Can you post SCREENSHOTS of charts ?

More later.


RIGHT NOW we have RISK ON !!!

Good Evening

I will log on to your account and move things around in the proper order for you. I will post more from previous posts so I will use some of the old material to assist you getting up to speed.


Benjaminis

Comments from Benjaminis: EVERYONE reading this carefully NOW has an EDGE if you use this KNOWLEDGE.

Knowledge is Power only if you use it and act upon it. For myself knowing this then I can prepare for the changes in values of all the Asset Classes and watch as the MONEY FLOWS from one to another and what the change in one does to the other. This is why I have said that the MOST IMPORTANT FUNDAMENTAL FACTS are not the fundamentals themselves or the use only of technical indicators or supply and demand although they all help they cannot SET THE TREND so knowing the trend you have your EDGE. It is not all that difficult to understand.

Each day we ask ourselves , "Do We Have Risk On today or Risk Off" ? The answer to that question gives us the direction to start although a fundamental new FACT can change the direction in seconds such as a Brexit or a FED Rate hike or NFP or any number of daily facts, expected or unexpected.

Then we come to my associated topic , Risk Management. The strategy that I have developed over the last 5 years always works with the exception being the Forex Trader themselves. Unless you have the desire and the interest and the DISCIPLINE to control your FEAR and your Greed you will lose. Of course since the MARKET is always right 100% of the time, unless you have complete control of your EGO for sure you will wipe out your account.

That is why I have not developed too many bad trading habits because I learned my trade over three years only trading demo funds of $50,000 US.

When I started real Forex trading with real funds , I went out and raised $250,000 US from a number of clients and traded their funds using LPOA. (Limited Power of Attorney).

My first large account during October 2007 was for $100,000 US and in the first 35 days of my Forex trading for a Hong Kong corporation I earned for my client $19,000 Plus US Dollars. My performance fee was 20% of the Net Profits.

I traded through the Financial Meltdown of 2008 when EUR/USD after reaching an all time HIGH around 1.60 within months broke below 1.20 and I took major losses for this same client and that was the day during 2008 that I realized that as good a Forex trader that I was, unless I had a FOOLPROOF Risk Management Method this could and would happen to my clients in the FUTURE.

Now that cannot happen ever again as long as I maintain my DISCIPLINE and my desire to trade Forex and have fun.

I offer anyone here this opportunity to learn at no cost to you other than your time and effort. There are still 3 spaces available.

This information comes from post 117 of December 13, 2016 on page 6 of my thread on Money Flow and Risk Management !!!

My congratulations go to DavidRP who is the first Forex Factory trader that has opened his FXCM UK Demo Account.

I have logged into his account since as requested he has emailed to [email protected] his User Login and Password.

I now have organized for DavidRP the 16 symbols that I use on the FXCM UK Demo trading platform. DavidRP now has $50,000 US Dollars to trade with. I will show here what the 16 symbols that are used and in the order that they are on the platform in blocks of 6 symbols.

EUR/USD EUR/JPY USD/JPY GBP/USD USD/CNH USD/CHF

EUR/CHF AUD/USD USD/CAD USDOLLAR XAU/USD XAG/USD

US30 NAS100 SPX500 COPPER UKOIL BUND

You can all see that by having these 16 pairs you have an excellent view of the Money Flow between Asset Classes.

Congratulations DavidRP

You are soon ready for your first Forex trades with Capital of $50,000 US Dollars.

Hello TooSlow

You are definitely not TooSlow and I was reviewing my previous pages because on one of them I had posted my Money Flow Method and Risk Management.

I will shortly post what you asked me to do in your post before this one.

I agree with you 100% that if the students fail then the teacher should look in the mirror since it was his failure in teaching, not necessarily the student.

I look in the mirror everyday in order to continue improving my life regardless of what it is that I am doing. I will post the information shortly. I appreciate your input and while you surely are not a student and are a professional Forex trader most of the times a good teacher will learn something from his students.

This information is from post 301 of December 20, 2016 on page 16 of this thread and is part of my answer to the excellent questions of TooSlow.

FROM AVA TRADE

Introduction to Fundamental Analysis

There are two main approaches to analyse the market during trading sessions, and both are popular among traders. One is called Technical Analysis, and predicts changes in the market based on past occurrences, market tendencies and behavior. Another one is Fundamental Analysis, which focuses on current events very closely, in order to try and predict how the market will turn.

When doing fundamental analysis, a trader studies the overall state of the economy, concentrating mainly on elements closely related to his trade. The research focuses on financial events including those that are remotely related but yet could affect the trade. Political, social and general events can all have a significant influence on the markets.

Why Conduct Fundamental Analysis

This type of analysis is for traders who wish to dig deeper into the financial world. It takes a little more time than some traders are willing and able to invest, but should have positive outcomes if done properly. What stands behind any type of analysis is the wish to avoid surprises that might jeopardize the traders money. Therefore the deeper the research and analysis, the lower the chances to be taken by surprise. Some of the worlds top traders, who regularly appear on top rich lists employ fundamental analysis. This is defiantly a good track to follow.

We must emphasize that even when conducting a thorough fundamental analysis, there is no guarantee the trade will be successful. The nature of trading any instrument is its relationship to external factors that can impact it, and the fact that the market can dramatically change within minutes, flipping our speculations and changing the fate of our trades.

How to Start Fundamental Analysis

Once you have decided on fundamental analysis as your course of action, we recommend starting by familiarizing yourself with the instrument you wish to trade. All frequent events that can impact your instrument should be taken into account. You should find the right sources to get daily news and make sure to follow them by subscribing to their newsletter and logging on regularly.

One of the main tools of fundamental analysis is to closely follow the economic calendar. It is crucial for a trader to familiarize himself with upcoming financial events involving influential players in the financial arena, such as treasuries, banks etc. One should learn which events are relevant to his trading market, and then detect how to prepare for those events.

An example to the importance of fundamental analysis can be found with the monthly US unemployed report, called the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP). The NFP usually affects the USD rate, which may lead to changes in the value of other instruments, such as gold, crude oil and others. Before the NFP is announced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, traders speculate on the content of the declaration, and based on that calculate their trades. This is called fundamental analysis.

To begin employing fundamental analysis, every trader should find a number of informative sources, which will provide him with knowledge that will help him with fundamental analysis, thus assisting and improving his trades. We invite you to check out our blog, which updates on a daily basis with crucial data relevant to all instruments.


COMMENTS FROM Benjaminis: NOTE !!!

My Fundamental Analysis uses all of the above HOWEVER My Money Flow Method takes FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS to a New Level and THUS gives me an EDGE in my Forex Trading. I can teach you that EDGE and as explained many times in this Money Flow Method and Risk Management thread the MOVEMENTS of FUNDS in the Trillions of Dollars each day causes the values of each of the Asset Classes to change and knowing how one Asset Class changing in VALUE affects another Asset Class gives you the Trend. "The Trend Is Your Friend"

This information came from post 343 of December 22, 2016 on page 18 of this thread and is part two of my answer to TooSlow and is also meant to bring my 5 students up to date. There will be one last post to explain and answer the question and I wish that I could have made it more simple however this is the best that I can do for the moment. Any suggestions to use the KISS method is welcome. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID.


http://schiffgold.com/videos/feds-fa...25bb-192661409

Snippet:

In her rate hike announcement last week, Janet Yellen said the Fed was so confident in the health of the US economy that it was raising the Federal Funds rate by a paltry quarter point. Investors are on board, with a wave of irrational exuberance sending the Dow closer to its 20,000-point milestone. However, the Feds decision suggests the need for a strict comparison with its statements last December: a time when a similar expression of economic confidence would prove to substantially miss the mark for rate hike expectations and GDP growth.

In a special episode of the Schiff Report, Peter Schiff shows how the Feds economic optimism is a ploy to maintain credibility with the markets and to cover up the fact that significant rate increases are impossible.


The only reason the Fed raised rates this December is the same reason they did so last December: they did it despite having no confidence in the economy, but they didnt want to send a message that they were that worried. They raised interest rates by the smallest possible amount. They also did it to try and preserve their credibility when it comes to talking about future interest rates.

Highlights from the show:
After 2 years of tightening, the lower bound of the Feds range has gone from 0 to one half of one percent. Janet Yellen said the Fed made this decision to lift rates because of its confidence in the US economy. That is complete nonsense. If the Fed was confident in the US economy, rates would be much higher than a half a percent. The Fed would have raised rates a long time ago and by much more than this. In fact, they could have lifted rates by more than 25 basis points on Wednesday, yet they had so little confidence in the economy that this is what they did.

The Fed is now posturing the same way it did last year. They had forecast GDP growth for 2016 to be 2.4%, but the economy is going to end up growing below 2% per official numbers. I dont think the economy is growing at all because I dont believe the official GDP numbers. They understate inflation, and therefore overstate growth. Even with that built in, we are not going to achieve the 2% the Fed anticipated. Itll be south of 2%.

Janet Yellen indicated that she believed that next year in 2017 the economy would grow by 2.1%. So, the Fed is less optimistic about GDP growth now than they were a year ago. Given that, if the Fed was unable to deliver more than one rate hike in 2016, despite being more optimistic on 2016 than they are on 2017, why do people believe the Fed is going to be any more successful in raising rates this year when they failed last year.

Its interesting that stock market investors and currency traders are more optimistic on US economic growth, far more optimistic than the Fed.
The Fed overestimated what they thought the growth was going to be for 2016. Im sure theyre over-estimating it again for 2017. What the market has now that it didnt have then is it has to deal with the headwind of rising interest rates. Interest rates have already risen much more than the quarter point hike to the federal funds. If you look at the yields on 10 year or longer maturities, they have moved up sharply. Look at the increase weve already had in mortgage rates.

Stock market investors are dismissing the increase in interest rates because theyre counting on all this extra profit that is supposedly going to be coming as a result of faster growth that the Federal Reserve doesnt even see and hasnt even built into its forecast.
The market wants to have it both ways. They want to pretend were going to have all this economic growth, but they want to ignore the factthat we would have an even greater tightening than we would if growth was slower.

Comments from Benjaminis: Ladies and Gentleman and Boys and Girls.

This ONE ARTICLE makes the whole point of research and understanding the TRUTH of the World Economy and especially the US Economy.

That is how and why I have developed just 4 Trade Plans for the next 3 months until March 31, 2017.

I will only trade these currency pairs because each is unique and they correlate to each other,

I KNOW the Dow will go down and The Trend is your Friend. So I am going SHORT US30. Then my second trade plan is SHORT USD/JPY since MONEY FLOWS to USD/JPY when there is Risk Off.

I go LONG Gold and LONG SILVER.

I use Money Flow between the Asset Classes and combine that with Risk Management.

All comments and discussion is welcome.

Happy Holidays Everyone !!!

This will be my last post for the next few hours. There is plenty of material for you to review.

Here is my POST 420 of this Thread !!!

If this is true – it was leaked by a “source familiar with international trade” to the Nikkei Asian Review and isn’t based on a White House announcement – then it’s going to add a lot of fuel to the already heated trade dispute between the US and China, and may ultimately make the steel and aluminum tariffs look like a game.


To punish China for its intellectual property theft, including IP infringements such as counterfeiting, and to retaliate against Chinese investment rules that require technology transfers to Chinese partners in order to set up shop in China, the Trump administration is considering a proposal by the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR) that would impose:

1. Tariffs on a large variety of Chinese products, including tech products and consumer goods like clothing.
2. Restrictions on investment by Chinese companies in the US, the first impact of which we have already seen by Trump’s order yesterday blocking all Chinese takeovers of large US tech companies.
3. And limits on visas for certain Chinese nationals.

The USTR also urged US allies, including Japan, to implement similar measures and synchronize their policies, according to the “source familiar with international trade,” cited by the Nikkei Asian Review.

Germany, Japan, and other countries have long fumed over the required technology transfers to Chinese partners. At the same time, Chinese companies, often state-owned, have been on a shopping spree in Germany, going after robotics know-how and other industries, which has caused a lot of soul-searching in the business community in Germany. Japan too “has long opposed China’s intellectual property practices,” as the Nikkei put it. Now the USTR has asked these countries to do something about it.

The probe by the USTR started in August last year, invoking Section 301 of the US Trade Act of 1974. The act, because it conflicts with WTO rules against imposing trade restrictions unilaterally, hasn’t been used since 1995, when the WTO began sorting out trade disputes.

SNIPPET:
The global pullback in equity markets continued in Asia on Wednesday following the firing of U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Many investors, though, said they were nonplused by the move given the recent churn in the Trump administration.

Financials and tech stocks, two of the best-performing sectors in the U.S. so far this year, led Tuesday’s declines. And 10-year Treasury yields pulled back. Rising bond yields have raised hopes of higher earnings for banks and insurers.

After four straight days of gains in Japan NIK, -1.02% , Taiwan Y9999, -0.31% and South Korea SEU, -0.57% , indexes in all three stock markets fell about 0.5% in recent trading.

In Japan, chip makers Renesas Electronics 6723, -4.13% and Rohm 6963, -2.50% dropped 3.8% and 2.3% respectively while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing2330, -0.77% pulled back 1.4%. Late Monday, President Donald Trump blocked an effort by Broadcom AVGO, -0.62% to acquire Qualcomm QCOM, -4.95% , citing a national security threat.

In Hong Kong HSI, -1.24% , stocks opened down more than 1% on weakness from banks and tech companies.

A U.S. index of chip stocks fell 1.6% Tuesday and the Nasdaq Composite’s seven-day winning streak was snapped.

Meanwhile, signs have emerged that corporate earnings have started to ease in some parts of the Asia-Pacific region, notably South Korea and Taiwan, said Sean Taylor, chief investment officer for Asia-Pacific at Deutsche Asset Management.

“We’ve taken money out of Asia and put it into the rest of emerging markets,” he said.

Australia’s stock benchmark XJO, -0.72% fell about 0.6%, hurt by weakness in commodity related stocks. But crude futures rose slightly in Asian trading as a U.S. industry group issued upbeat weekly inventory data. New Zealand’s NZX 50NZ50GR, -0.42% shed 0.4%.

Overnight, U.S. inflation data showed that price pressures remained muted in February even as the economy gathered steam. The prospect that the Federal Reserve might have to act more aggressively to contain inflation helped spark last month’s global slide for stocks.

The U.S. dollar JPYUSD, +0.080758% slipped against the yen, with the dollar last buying ¥106.73 after hitting ¥107.29 in U.S. trading hours. Minutes from the Bank of Japan’s February meeting showed that some board members warned the central bank should keep a close eye on unexpected side effects from the current ultralow rate policy.

The ICE U.S. Dollar Index, which tracks the dollar’s strength against a basket of six major currencies, was little changed.
