Euro currency is reaching levels which will hurt German exports.

Market News

02.01.13

Top Day Market News

Last night, Chinese Purchasing Managers’ Index came in lower than expected.

The unemployment rate was expected by consensus to come in at a decent 180K with non-farm private payrolls forecast to come in at +193K while the headline number had been forecast to come in at 7.7%. The first impulse last night was to take stocks higher and bonds lower on the increasing probability of a stronger than expected jobs number. In addition to this, the Street will have to deal with U of Michigan consumer sentiment, the Institute for Supply Management and Construction Spending.

Now for the reality…

+157K and the headline jumps to 7.9%. There were upward revisions in Nov and Dec by 86K and 41K. A little disappointing but buy the rumor and sell on the news.  The EC is reaching levels which will hurt German exports.
