Hi NVP and readers of this thread, I thought I would share my observations of three major FX pairs for Friday 6th January, the day of the US NFP and Unemployment Rate.

I attach three hourly charts for GBPUSD, EURGBP and EURUSD that form the triplet for arbitrage. The levels shown in the charts were calculated Thursday evening after the close in New York and were valid for the next 24 hours. The levels in the charts are calculated using a mapping between daily candlesticks for each FX pair. Chart times are London local time minus 4 hours.

From the charts you can see that:

1. GBPUSD made its low of the day at the level 1.1841 in the 07:00 hour. I have the GBPUSD low for the day as 1.18412
2. EURGBP made its high of the day at the level 0.8871 in the 06:00 hour. I have the EURGBP high for the day as 0.88715
3. The high and low for EURUSD were delayed and not about its predicted levels

The figures for the US NFP and the Unemployment Rate were both better than expected so one would assume that this would create a buy USD sentiment. Instead the GBPUSD continued to be bought and EURGBP continued to be sold. Friday was a buy GBP day.

You can also see that EURUSD was following GBPUSD. That means that trading EURUSD was impossible without taking into account that GBPUSD was taking the lead.

Finally the NFP news was essentially ignored by the markets and they continued with their buying GBP sentiment.

interesting - thanks !

I put a fixstart onto the GU pair and retraced it back to that days trading - ive isolated just the green USD , blue Euro and the red GBP

I saw this on the day :-

GU hit days low at 11:45 GMT (maybe my platform)

NFP impact initially saw all 3 currencies fall slightly ...all correlated

then around 3pm GMT a real move ....GBP went Hot , USD went hard Bear and Euro stayed neutral

Sell USD against other currencies
Buy GBP against other currencies
BIG PLAY GBPUSD Buy

the Neutral Euro would not have been in play for me on any pair at the time

nice days action once it warmed up !

one of my mentors used to play those 3 currencies as a triangle ...he posted on here way back in the day

What is the use of posting "after the event" comments about the forex market? It's as much use as stating what the lottery numbers were on a Monday for the previous Saturday. Just in case anyone is interested, the numbers were:
07 - 09 - 14 - 21 - 30 - 57 and the Bonus ball was 18
