What does the data mean to the market?

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the price of goods and services from the consumer's perspective. It is a key way to measure changes in purchasing trends and inflation.

A higher than expected reading is positive/bullish for the CAD, while a lower than expected reading is negative/bearish.


Historic deviations and their outcome

August 18 2021 Today we saw a solid 0.3 positive deviation which gave a good 20 pip slow move before it retraced.

July 28 2021 A minimal 0.1 deviation from forecast on the headline Core CPI M/M with a 0.3 conflict from the secondary line Core CPI Y/Y we saw a seven pip move inline with the headline before retracing and carrying on with the pre news trend. Not trade for me.

June 16 2021 There was no deviation from the forecast on the headline Core CPI M/M. We saw a 0.4 from the secondary line Core CPI Y/Y; however, there was no impact on the price action.

I will use forecasts of:

CPI (M/M) 0.1
CPI (Y/Y) 3.9
CPI Core - Common (Y/Y) 1.8
CPI Core - Median (Y/Y) 2.7
CPI Core - Trim (Y/Y) 3.1



Today's trade plan

Canadian CPI data is slowly moving more into focus I hope that now is the right time to see some nice moves when a reasonable deviation should occur.

Therefore today, I will need an unlikely 0.4 deviation from the forecast in either direction from the headline CPI M/M (month on month), including supporting deviations of 0.1 in the same direction as the headline from the other four lines of data that come out at the same time.

Without the comprehensive deviations on all lines, we may not find any continuation to bring us safety and profit.

**IMPORTANT** On this trade we hope and expect to see a slow move that happens over the first 25-45 seconds. When data hits, the market shouldn't move more than 5 pips giving you a chance to jump in. I would suggest that you would want to have your trade live within the first 5 seconds and ride the move for the next 20 seconds or so. Once you're a few pips in profit, set your stop loss to break even, to protect your equity. If things go to plan, then I would hope for around 20 pips on USDCAD in total before the move stalls.
