USD Strengthens 36 Pips in Less Than Two Hours

From the Desk of Matthew Mocorro Director of Global Education, Market Traders Institute, Inc. Click Here to Register for an Upcoming Forex Webinar August 14, 2012 Dear Andrew, Today, the US dollar left the Japanese Yen in the dust as the dollar strengthened dramatically against its counterpart. The positive move for the USD happened directly after retail sales data surpassed projections. This new data shows the first rise in retail sales in more than four months. The news has relieved some worries that another monetary stimulus will be needed to push the slowly recovering economy along which, theoretically, would weaken the dollar's value. In my analysis below, I saw a 36 pip movement in the USD/JPY pair in less than two hours after the announcement was made. Let the trading fun begin. Many Forex traders foresee more good news for the USD in the third quarter. This could mean big gains and even bigger trading opportunities. You don't have to cheer from the sidelines. Get in the action. Forex education could show you how.
