We kicked off the week with seven take profits and two stops so far. Isn’t it exciting? Today, the market is likely to remain highly volatile than a day before. We have some really hot economic events on the docket. Let’s see how to make it work out for us!

Top Events To Watch Out Today

Eurozone – EUR

German Factory Orders m/m – Today at 7:00 (GMT), Destatis is expected to release the German factory orders data. The orders are expected to fall by -0.2% vs. 1% gain in the previous month. Since German is the main business hub of Eurozone, we may see some weakness in Euro on negative news and vice versa.

U.S. Dollar – USD

ADP Non-Farm Employment Change – The Automatic Data Processing, Inc. will be releasing the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change at 13:15 (GMT). It’s expected to drop to 189K vs. 235K in the previous month.

The ADP figure is mostly correlated with the Non-farm payroll and it’s often called advance NFP. The negative forecast will be weighing the dollar till the release of news. Whereas, the actual ADP will give us clues about labor market figures due on this Friday.

Crude Oil Inventories are one of the most important events to trade the Crude Oil & Canadian currency. We need to keep an eye on it on 15:30 (GMT) and forecasted to show a draw of -3.2M.    

Canadian Dollar – CAD

Overnight Rate – Folks, BOC will be releasing interest rate decision today at 15:00. However, it’s not expected to change it. But after they hike the interest rate in Sep from 0.75% to 1%, we can expect anything from BOC. So, put your put your seatbelt on and ride the volatility.

Fellas, I’m keeping an eye on two levels today. Firstly, 1.2670 is a crucial trading level and above this, the pair can go for 1.2730 and 1.2760.
