Does anyone have any thoughts on PMI news?

My thoughts:
Good news -> Risk on -> EU up.

Anyone agree / Disagree ?
hmm i take it simple :

good news = bigger than forecast = good for usdx = eu down

Multilple times, good news boost risk, and stocks, which make the USD go down.. Don`t you agree?
And with some risk taken of the table because of Egypt, I view it that way. But we will see soon enough

that's what I was thinking until cloggie explained otherwise.
I've been following it for a while and it seems cloggie is right.

lot of short bias ,but there is at triple bottom at 3730 .If that breaks potential short trade but until proved otherwise you have 50% better chance bullish .We had 2 day retrace and broke high on daily so at moment not much sign of a top anywere yet.
Cloggie short so i'am probably wrong lol.
The KEY now is market perception. Things are holding in the Middle East.
ISM rumor is above 60. EUR/USD looking to maybe break 1.3786 daily high of November 22. Debt problems in Europe under control.

Everything is perfect for Dow at 12,000 and EUR/USD moving towards 1.3800. Depending what happens between now and NOON a direction should unfold. I am looking to go short. The question is when. The PERCEPTION is not the reality. Be very careful around here.

No Call needed for the moment since it needs to test 1.3800 or odds it will move back. The reaction to the news and option expiry at 10:00 AM and how Europe leaves things. There is ADP at 8:15 AM on Wednesday. A bad NFP on Friday will send Dow down and EUR/USD and then there is the weekend with the Wild Card still Mubarak.

The next 15 minutes will be interesting. Do nothing if not sure and no person can be sure at the moment. Good trading today.

actually if you think about, it makes sense.
good news means economy is getting better so instead of keeping money in safe banking plans delivering low interest (low risk) people are willing to invest in higher risk plans such as equities.
I guess it has an negative effect on money supply because in order to extend money supply - money should be kept in banks so they can give loans.

Make investors more likely to take risky bets. Which basicly means that they but they money on stocks etc, and not in safe haven currencies like USD.

You got it, and it works perfectly as the interest rates are flat across the majors, once one of the biggies start increasing rates, then the risk picture changes slightly as you need to weigh up the reward for higher risk investments vs lower risk higher rate currencies, look for example at the UJ trade that has been in play for 4 years.

As long as you follow the risk and thereby the money flow you will stay on the right side of the markets.

I agree but this is a perfect setup for bull and bear stop hunt .
Be cautious take our stops above 75 and below 30 before the true direction if there is one.
Short term dont trust the first up or down move until a confirmed break.
making green pips large and red pips small this is my goal.

Don't see it as risk, see it as appetite or the lack thereof in risk and it will become a bit clearer to follow the money.

When I say risk on, I mean there is an increase in the appetite for risk, so dollar down.

sorry but what's UJ?
what about the other thing I've said regarding the money supply - does it make sense?

UJ, USDJPY, money supply is a different story and only applies to a certain extent.

Spot on, that is in a nutshell how to judge the news and the resultant moneyflows. A second part is the weighing of the 2 ugly sisters as I call it, as momentarily the risk will not hide the ugly sister race and then the comparison value takes over.

for me 3728/29 is still key, a close under there and 3695/3704 is possible as is 3655/70. If it holds we could see 3768/81 again, and then 3818/28....good luck out there, I'm off...
same...
