the week ahead: 1 release that can move markets

New Zealand CPI q/q.

These are the high-impact releases for the week of Oct 20, earliest first, with the forecast, the markets each one moves, and how the main one reacted the last time the same release came out. Times are New York time.

• Wed 17:45 ET: New Zealand CPI q/q, forecast 0.8%

1. New Zealand CPI q/q, Wednesday 17:45 ET

New Zealand CPI q/q is due Wednesday 17:45 ET. Forecast 0.8%, previous 1.5%.

The markets it moves most: NZD/USD.

Last time (Jul 20, 1.5%) NZD/USD moved as far as +0.24% within the hour, 2.8× a normal hour.

Last time, replayed through the desk

Last time it came out, a buy on NZD/USD at 18:50 ET, after the first 5-minute candle, out at 20:45 ET, 1 contract: a $15 fee, the desk up to 90% behind it, $23.91 earned. If it moves like that again, the same trade is there to take, with the desk’s capital behind you. It can just as well move the other way, or not at all. (Hypothetical: real prices replayed through the live engine, not a client result.)

When the release lands, trade it with the desk behind you. You take the trade. The desk puts its own capital behind it, steps up as it proves itself, and pays you 90% of what that capital makes.

Prices are from our market data feed; times are New York time (ET), and a day runs New York 17:00 to 17:00. This is market information, not investment advice or a recommendation to trade. Past moves do not predict future ones, and trading involves risk of loss. Economic releases, forecasts and actual figures are from the Forex Factory calendar. Where a trade is shown “replayed through the desk”, it is hypothetical: real market prices replayed through the live Trade Syndication engine at 1 contract. It illustrates how the desk allocates and pays; it is not the result of any client, and earnings can be zero.
