CPI on the GBP tonight , it's gonna be big.

(Consumer Price Index)
This is considered the UK's most important inflation data because it's used as the central bank's inflation target;

EDIT : Well it was a weird situation, they made a strong bullish breakout 1 hour before the news, and it just didnt stop. I guess they were REALLY expecting those good numbers. I tried 3 times to enter but got breakeven each.

Ok check this morning on UCAD we had 140 pips on the "Overnight Rate". The thing is, that percentage wasn't expected to change at all, so I find it weird that the market reacted strongly to a status-quo...

Hey newschool, really would like to get your opinion/confirmation of what I think about hedging... I am considering taking the plunge to getting a hedging-enabled account.

Wasnt a big news at all, too bad.

EDIT: Finally went the other way, so breakeven for me (plus spread).

At 14h15 its the Federal Funds Rate on USD... I hope the markets will be nervous.

EDIT: No movement. But I figured out why on the interest rate (from CAD) the market moved extremely strongly even if the stats stayed the same : there was a speech where the bank of canada predicted it will change the rate sooner than expected.
