Mid-Week Update

Good Morning folks

The non farm employment just came out today and its double what was predicted 189K, prediction was 119K. MARKET MANIPULATION PEOPLE. I'm all for trading fundamentals but i really wouldn't trade on these numbers. Something wrong here. The ISM manufacturing index was higher at 50.8 VS the 50.4 predicted. I'd watch this number after the Christmas season due to less manufacturing after Christmas. This has been a huge week all across the board on the fundamental side. All currencies have had good news movers coming out this week. News traders are going WILD.

As far as the rest of the week goes, We've got the ECB announcement coming out tomorrow as wells jobless claims. Friday we've got consumer sentiment as well as consumer credit (which will be a crap number) and we got the employment situation number on Friday as well. After seeing non farms at 189K i wouldn't trade the employment number cause of the manipulation.

Well, i gotta get trading folks. Have a good day!
