The Dollar
The greenback continues to give back last week's gains, falling just shy of the 1.56-level and 104 against the yen. The dollar remains under pressure amid soaring oil prices, with crude oil surging to another record above $122 per barrel and fresh calls oil to reach $150 to $200 barrel over the next two years.
Markets will turn to US economic data on Wednesday, which consist of Q1 labor costs, preliminary Q1 productivity and pending home sales.

USDJPY TODAY
Monday, May 05th, 2008 (10:00 a.m. New York Time) USA
At 10:00 a.m. we are going to have U.S. ISM Non-Manufacturing. It is expected to come out at 49.1, and the expectation is coming down from 49.5. This indicator is getting hotter and hotter since they changed the method how they calculate the number so now this indicator more accurately predicts the future GDP. Therefore, it is a leading indicator for GDP and therefore it predicts what the Fed is going to do. I am going to use 1.0 trigger here. Last month 0.8 deviation moved USD/JPY by 44 pips, and in the previous month we had 67 pips move on 2.0 deviation. I believe we can get 40 to 50 pips move on 1.0 deviation on USD/JPY. If it comes out at 50 or higher, it would be a buy signal on USD/JPY, and I would look for 40 to 50 pips move in the first hour of the report. If it comes out at 48.1 or lower, I would sell USD/JPY and look for 40 to 50 pips as well.
