Market Analysis – Tuesday, November 12th 2013


Last week’s action was hugely profitable for those traders fortunate enough to be on the right side of the market. Still to come are some very significant economic events on Wednesday that could give some volatility to the various markets. More specifically, there will a report on UK’s employment numbers(GBP claimant count change), words from US Fed Chairman Ben Bernanake and Japanese Quarterly GDP numbers.
