The Week Ahead: Third Week of June

The week opened with a sharp rise on the EUR/USD (Forex Tracer decided to take a short position and eventually profited). The dollar went down against most major currencies.

The week ahead has many interesting reports, and an interesting one is the PPI, Producer Price Index. Usually this data comes before the CPI, and it is a good indicator for it. This month's PPI is expected to rise 1%, a huge increase compared to last month's 0.2%. This is a bad sign for the economy, and it usually signals that the CPI will also rise beyond expectations.

Since this is the third week of the month, this Friday is the day when options on Wall Street expire. This means mostly boring and flat trading for the day.

Good luck trading this week,
