dn Economic calendar in Asia - Wednesday, November 13, 2024 - Fed speaker By www.forexlive.com Published On :: Tue, 12 Nov 2024 20:59:46 GMT There were numerous Fed speakers on Tuesday, US time:Fed's Kashkari: The fundamentals seems strong and I'm optimistic that will continueFed's Barkin: Fed in position to respond appropriately regardless of how economy evolvesFed's Waller: Makes no comments on economy or monetary policy outlookand we get one more today in Asia:2200 GMT / 1700 US Eastern time - Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Patrick Harker speaks on "Fintech, AI and the Changing Financial Landscape". Which doesn't sound too promising for remarks from him on the economy or monetary policy. But, perhaps we'll get a mortsel thrown to us in any Q&A. ***As for the data agenda, it's a bit of a yawn, none of it likely to move around major FX upon release. From Japan we'll get an update of wholesale inflation - the PPI for October. The Producer Price Index (PPI) in Japan is also known as the Corporate Goods Price Index (CGPI)its a measure of the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their outputis calculated by the Bank of JapanUnlike the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures the price change that consumers see for a basket of goods and services, the CGPI focuses on the change in the prices of goods sold by companies.The PPI reflects some of cost pressures faced by producersits based on a basket of goods that represents the range of products produced within the Japanese economy, including items such as:raw materials like metals and chemicalssemi-finished goodsand finished productsdifferent weights are assigned to each category within the index based on its contribution to the overall economy.it does not account for the quality improvements in goods and services over time, which might lead to overestimation of inflationadditionally, it reflects only the prices of domestically produced goods, leaving out the impact of imported goodsThe PPI can be used as a guide to inflationary pressures in the economy:If producers are facing higher costs, they may pass these on to consumers, leading to higher consumer prices.***From Australia we'll get wages data for Q3. Wage growth is expected to keep slowing (y/y) in Q3 2024. With the labor market softening, upward pressure on wages has been easing over recent quarters. In Commonwealth Bank of Australia's preview they cite their internal data as indicating a quarterly wage growth of around 0.9%, a notable decrease from the 1.3% growth seen in the same quarter last year, which had been boosted by a significant 5.75% increase in award and minimum wages. As a result, the annual wage growth rate is projected to fall to 3.6%, bringing it closer to a level compatible with sustainable, in-target inflation.While the labour market softening, but from strong levels, the RBA is eyeing wage growth as a factor helping keep inflation sticky. A moderation in growth for wages will be welcomed by the bank if it translates into softening price pressure also. This snapshot from the ForexLive economic data calendar, access it here.The times in the left-most column are GMT.The numbers in the right-most column are the 'prior' (previous month/quarter as the case may be) result. The number in the column next to that, where there is a number, is the consensus median expected.

dn US CPI data due Wednesday - possible upside surprise. By www.forexlive.com Published On :: Tue, 12 Nov 2024 22:41:06 GMT CPI data from the US due today, Wednesday, November 13, 2024. Greg popped up a preview earlier:US CPI to be released tomorrow at 8:30 AM. Expectations are for 0.2% MoMIn a recent note, BMO previewed the data also. Analysts at the bank suggest that any significant influence from recent storms on inflation data is likely limited, meaning market reactions to any deviation in core inflation—either upward or downward—may be pronounced. The consensus forecast calls for a steady +0.3% rise in core CPI for the month, with expectations leaning toward a possible upside surprise. A +0.4% reading or higher would make waves, particularly against the backdrop of the recent election results. The logic suggests that if inflation was already ticking up before the GOP’s victory, the added impact of tariffs and potential trade conflicts could fuel further inflationary momentum. However, BMO analysts also point out that while targeted tariffs may not universally drive up prices, this assumption currently shapes US rates market sentiment. With this market outlook in mind, BMO expects that an upside surprise in October’s inflation numbers could have a meaningful impact on yields, increasing their upward trajectory. At present, actual inflation data is seen as the most direct factor that could push 10-year yields beyond the 4.50% threshold. A softer-than-expected core CPI reading could trigger a rally in the Treasury market, though there appears to be a limit to how much the market will temper expectations for inflation following Trump’s victory. Instead, BMO anticipates the market will continue to define a trading range in this post-election landscape, characterized by a mix of cautious optimism and prevailing skepticism.

This snapshot from the ForexLive economic data calendar, access it here.Taking a look at the range of expectations compared to the median consensus (the 'expected' in the screenshot above) for the key data points:CPI Headline y/y, expected 2.6% with the range showing:2.3% - 2.7%CPI Headline m/m expected 0.2% with the range showing:0.1 to 0.3%CPI excluding food and energy (the core rate of inflation) y/y expected 3.3% with the range showing:3.2 - 3.4%CPI excluding food and energy (the core rate of inflation) m/m expected 0.3% with the range showing:0.2 to 0.4%***Why is knowledge of such ranges important?Data results that fall outside of market low and high expectations tend to move markets more significantly for several reasons:Surprise Factor: Markets often price in expectations based on forecasts and previous trends. When data significantly deviates from these expectations, it creates a surprise effect. This can lead to rapid revaluation of assets as investors and traders reassess their positions based on the new information.Psychological Impact: Investors and traders are influenced by psychological factors. Extreme data points can evoke strong emotional reactions, leading to overreactions in the market. This can amplify market movements, especially in the short term.Risk Reassessment: Unexpected data can lead to a reassessment of risk. If data significantly underperforms or outperforms expectations, it can change the perceived risk of certain investments. For instance, better-than-expected economic data may reduce the perceived risk of investing in equities, leading to a market rally.Triggering of Automated Trading: In today’s markets, a significant portion of trading is done by algorithms. These automated systems often have pre-set conditions or thresholds that, when triggered by unexpected data, can lead to large-scale buying or selling.Impact on Monetary and Fiscal Policies: Data that is significantly off from expectations can influence the policies of central banks and governments. For example, in the case of the inflation data due today, weaker than expected will fuel speculation of nearer and larger Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) rate cuts. A stronger (i.e. higher) CPI report will diminish such expectations. the December meeting is in focus right now.Liquidity and Market Depth: In some cases, extreme data points can affect market liquidity. If the data is unexpected enough, it might lead to a temporary imbalance in buyers and sellers, causing larger market moves until a new equilibrium is found.Chain Reactions and Correlations: Financial markets are interconnected. A significant move in one market or asset class due to unexpected data can lead to correlated moves in other markets, amplifying the overall market impact.

dn GARDNER'S HINTS FOR GROUP SINGING By choirteachers.blogspot.com Published On :: Sun, 11 May 2014 15:11:00 +0000 GARDNER'S HINTS FOR GROUP SINGING All music must dance!!! All music must dance!!! All music must dance!!! 1. Proper posture is essential to good vocal production. a. Don't stand too rigid. (This will cause tension) b. Stand tall and stately with your arms, shoulders and neck area relaxed. c. Don't slouch, it restricts the lungs and diaphragm. 2. Tension is the great enemy to all singers; a. The jowls and the jaws must always be relaxed. b. When singing in the higher registers always tip your forehead slightly forward. (flirt with someone in the audience) c. When women sing notes above the staff, turn all vowels to Aaah and use less volume. VOCAL PRODUCTION 3. The higher you sing the darker the vowel. (Lips further from teeth) 4. The louder you sing the darker the vowel. (Lips further from teeth) 5. The lower you sing the brighter the vowel. (Lips closer to teeth) 6. The softer you sing the brighter the vowel. (Lips closer to teeth) NOTE WEIGHT 7. The longer the note the more weight you put on it. 8. The shorter the note the less weight you put on it. NOTE SHAPE 9. Every note has shape and contour. (crescendo, decrescendo, tenuto, staccato) (When listening to younger musicians you notice that every note is the same and has no shape, contour or direction.) 10. You never sit on a long note. (You must either increase volume or decrease volume) 11. When singing a series of notes on the same pitch each note must be altered for interest. (Four quarter notes, on the same pitch, become boring unless you make them interesting with shape, contour, and volume.) RHYTHM 12. When singing a note that is three times longer than the note that follows, you must separate. (Examples Dotted half note followed by a quarter note - You Separate. Dotted Quarter followed by eighth - you separate, Dotted eighth followed by sixteenth - you separate. ACCIDENTALS 13. An accidental is a Sharp, Flat or Natural sign that takes the note out of the key and you should emphasize or accent the accidental so that the listener won't think you just made a mistake. 14. A rhythm accidental is syncopation or any beat that does not occur on the pulse and you should emphasize or accent all rhythm accidentals. MESSAGE 15. The message is most important. Enunciate well. Communicate well. Understand the message that you are trying to get across to the audience. Do your part to inspire and edify the audience. (When your spirit bears witness to their spirit, both will be edified.) Full Article
