Economic News on the
schedule today:
Economic News Worksheet
This morning we will see the most important news event we
have as traders, Non-Farm Payroll news is scheduled for release at 8:30am EST.  Traders have been watching this report all
week, and this morning we will see sluggish price-action ahead of this report,
followed by violent reaction to the news when it’s released. 

The most important
thing to remember about Non-Farm Payroll
news is that we must stay patient after the news is released
because no matter what the scenario the price-action will challenging to trade
without a lot of risk.  We will wait 15-minutes
before the news and then wait until 8:45am EST after the news is released to
take our first trade.

This morning’s Non-Farm
Payroll report is going to be possibly the most important report of the YEAR
because the Fed is looking for data
to tell it when to start removing stimulus from the US markets, and today’s
report may give the FOMC enough confidence to announce ‘tapering’ to begin in 2
weeks at the next FOMC Meeting.  Needless
to say, traders will be watching closely AFTER the news is released looking for
feedback from the price-action.

In addition to Non-Farm
Payroll news we also hear from Consumers Sentiment
today, which is always an important
indicator of economic growth here in the US and will also be applied to the
decision to ‘taper’ by the FOMC at their next meeting.  We will look for the Consumer Sentiment
report to keep the price-action moving for us today into the end of Friday’s
trading session.
