Re: Normal expected move for x economic number
For index traders, commodity prices have a huge bearing on the index (well here in Aus anyway). Keeping a track of rises and falls in metals such as:
Gold, Silver, Nickel, and Copper are really imporant imho.
Economic indicators apart from CPI are:
AWOTE (Average Weekly Ordinary Time Earnings) indication of real wages, Interest rates,
Current Account deficit/surplus (most western countries run deficits cause we're all big spenders so basically how much larger is the deficit getting!)
Retail Spending (These numbers I dont trust cause the boom times of Christmas and Mothers Day which all coincide with the release of economic data is misleading i reckon).
Employment Rates (We love low employment!)
Building Approvals etc..
