There's probably only going to be one thing on dollar traders minds today
Durable goods is the highlight on the data docket today but that's probably going to get short shrift as the focus will be on this poxy healthcare vote again.
Durables can be a volatile number anyway so if we do see a big variation in the numbers, roll with the punches trading wise but don't get too heavy into one direction or another as the vote headline risk is still high.
Durable goods are expected in at;
Orders 1.2% m/m vs 2.0% prior
Ex-transport 0.5% vs 0.0% prior
Ex-Defense was 1.6% prior
Cap goods orders non-def ex-air 0.6% vs -0.1% prior
Cap goods shipments non-def ex-air 0.2% -0.4% prior
Canadian CPI is also out and is expected unchanged at 2.1% y/y. The two BOC core measures were 1.3% (common) and 1.9% (median) prior y/y.
That's all at 12.30GMT. At 13.45GMT we have the Latest US services PMI from Markit.
BTW, Eamonn reported that the vote could come sometime between 18.00-20.00 GMT.
