Hi , 7:00am UK BOE Interest Rate 0.50%(E) 0.50%(P) 0.25%(S) 50M 7:00am UK APF (QE Program) 200B(E) 200B(P) 25B(S) 50M E = Expected Release Figure P = Previous Release Figure S = Deviation or Surprise Factor M = Expected Movement In Pips (if deviation is hit) *** NEWS TRADING Thu September 9, 2010 [7:00am NY Time] BOE (Bank of England) will be rendering its interest rate decision today, and it should provide strong volatility in the market if BOE's final decision is a surprise, here's the forecast: UK Official Bank Rate Forecast 0.50% Previous 0.50% APF (Asset Purchasing Facility) Forecast 200B Previous 200B ACTION: GBP/USD BUY 0.75% (Rate) SELL 225B (APF) The Trade Plan In the extremely unlikely event BOE hikes rate to 0.75%, we'll buy GBP/USD immediately on a spike trade. Because of the level of this surprise, I think we'll see a strong trend change for GBP in the next few weeks, so we should BUY and keep a small portion for larger gains... On the other hand, if we get a surprise increase in the APF or better known as quantitative easing, it would send a bearish signal to the market, and we should SELL GBP/USD immediately.
