Economic News Worksheet

Traders are returning to their desks this morning after a
long holiday-weekend. Last week’s
mostly-positive news ended with a big jump up in Non-Farm Payroll news, which
re-opened the door for possible Fed Tapering later this year. Most analysts are saying to expect tapering
to begin in early 2014, but traders aren’t seeing anything to tell us exactly
when this will happen.

This morning we do not have any major news on the economic
calendar. Coming out of a holiday
weekend we know today will likely be a little sluggish at the start, but with
no trading on Monday there will be lots of trading activity that will need to
be executed this morning so we do expect to see some trading opportunities throughout
the session.

The only real news to follow this morning will be Fed
Speakers starting this afternoon. We have
some very minor reports coming out from Small Business Optimism and Chicago Fed
Activity Index, but none of these are expected to be major movers in price-action
today. We will stay focused on reading
the tape and seeing what the market personality is today.

Are any of these
Red-Star news events today?

We do not have any Red-Star news today, which means until we
see proof of a trend, we must take profit conservatively. If we start to see a trend develop, then we
can leave a runner, but in the beginning of the session we will be using tight profit-targets
to lock up profit as there isn’t any major news to get the fireworks going for
us.

Which markets will be
affected by this news the most today?

Markets being affected by the ‘tapering talk’ this morning
will be currencies, bonds, and metals.
Look for the Euro, Gold, and Bond markets to be a little sloppy this morning
as traders continue to investigate the potential for fed tapering before
January 2014.
