At 12:30GMT U.S. Core Retail Sales would give  investors\u2019 a signal about economic recovery. Figure is forecasted at  0.1% rise, lower than previous figure which came at 0.4%, any positive  surprise is likely to prolong recent up trend of riskier currencies such  as the EUR, GBP, CAD, and Crude Oil. The opposite would happen if data  turns worse than expected.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, UK reports would influence the first part of the  trading session. UK Reports about Manufacturing Production and PPI  Input, forecasted at 0.6% and -0.9% respectively are lower than the  previous released. If data disappoints it may put an end to gbp\/usd and  eur\/usd recent rally.<\/p>\n<p>Although no central bank speeches are expected today, traders should  monitor the media for interviews. It seems lately that remarks by  central banks chairman\u2019s or financial leaders have more impact over the  markets than economic news.<\/p>\n<p>Traders are advised to follow the eur\/usd, gbp\/usd, Gold, Crude Oil  and usd\/cad. These pairs and commodities have made substantial move  yesterday and present an opportunity to profit, if they change  direction, or if news are positive they might reach new weekly records.<\/p>\n<p>08:30 GMT GBP \u2013 Manufacturing Production<br \/>\nThe report is a leading indicator of economic health. During this time  of growing fiscal debts, investor\u2019s are looking for signs of economic  growth or at least economic stability. Positive data would support  yesterday\u2019s Pound rally to end the week at weekly record high. Previous  figure came at 0.1% above forecasts. Forecasts today are for 0.1% rise  while previous figure is at 0.4%.<\/p>\n<p>08:30 GMT GBP \u2013 PPI Input<br \/>\nProducer Price index (PPI) report is released ahead of CPI, and is a  good indicator of consumer inflation. While there are fears of deflation  this figure would take of some of the uncertainty. Forecasts are at  -0.9%, such figure is not a healthy signal for UK\u2019s economy, although it  means that interest rates may remain low for some time.<\/p>\n<p>12:30 GMT USD \u2013 Core Retail Sales<br \/>\nCore Retail Sales is the most anticipated figure for this week. This  figure is excluding car sales. It is a clear indicator about the U.S.  economic health. Positive outcome would no doubt increase investors\u2019  confident and boost riskier currencies and market indices further. It  measure consuming spending trends, when consumers spend economy should  be growing.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Forex Market Analysis<\/em> provided by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.forexyard.com\/?zone_id=1398\" target=\"_blank\">Forex        Yard.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 2006 by FxYard Ltd<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: Trading Foreign Exchange carries a high level of risk and        may not be suitable for all investors.
