通常而言,每月的经济数据,都会提前一到两周公布预期——这些预期,都是各大通讯社对经济学家或业界做调查的结果,各通讯社间的结果可能不尽相同…
由于市场的占有率及调查方法,目前市场都默认路透通讯社(Reuters) 的预期中间数,作为预测数字的参考。
相信大家都知道,要在市场生存、赚钱,时间和信息的获取,是各方投资者所希望的,这种共同的期望,就做成了一些我们所谓的「提前消化」的现像…
问题是,为什幺不是每次数据公布前,都出现「提前消化」的现像呢?
这是因为,1、市场的焦点,2、数据重要性的次序,3、当时市场价格,是否因为前期的发展而出现了过份的价值上升或下跌,这些都是影响数据行情,会不会出现提前消化的现像。
举得例子,今年上半年,美元回升超过了11%,其中就包含了「提前消化」的现像,这是为什幺明天美国都几乎铁定加息了,直到今天,美元还不肯进一步上升的原因。
另一方面,大家都知道,做外汇的,都不是做单一货币,大家目前所做的外汇市场,其实是叫作「美汇」的,即是说,主要货币都跟美元做汇兑交易(或以美元作为报价参考) ,所以,当我们要看美元的走势时,也不得不个别因应各种货币国的经济发展,在此销彼长的经济表现下,也会影响到汇价的表现…
在做数据行情的时候,我们也要留心可能出现的提前消化现像所做成的「消息入市,证实平仓」的发展…
很多时侯,大家都会奇怪,为什幺明显是利好的数据,会出现利反的现像呢?
原因就是有市场的预期心理,造成了「提前消化」的现像,而实际数据的「市场价值」,又都已经反映在现价水平了,然后,市场就会因应情况,开始出现平仓现像——到底平仓量是多少,还要视乎市场对未来一段短时间的「预期心理」…
另一方面,数据价值——数据可能带来的波动幅度(这个可能是我自创的) ,到底是多少?
是100点,是200点,还是300点?
这要视乎提前消化的程度而定…
另一方面,如果事前未有出现明显的提前消化现像,则震撼效果(Shocking Effect) 就会起到明显的作用——真实数据跟预期值相差越大,震撼效果就越高!!
在这里,有两个重要的问题,一是我们如何确定有没有出现「提前消化效应」,二是我们如何确定数据价值?
我将在下期——实战部份作出相对应的解答。

US - Consumer Sentiment
How does this affect the market?
A survey of consumer attitudes concerning both the present situation as well as expectations regarding economic conditions conducted by the University of Michigan. Five hundred consumers are surveyed each month. A preliminary survey is usually reported about the second Friday of the month while a more complete survey is reported two weeks later. The level of consumer sentiment is directly related to the strength of consumer spending.
The pattern in consumer attitudes and spending is often the foremost influence on stock and bond markets. For stocks, strong economic growth translates to healthy corporate profits and higher stock prices. For bonds, the focus is whether economic growth goes overboard and leads to inflation. Ideally, the economy walks that fine line between strong growth and excessive (inflationary) growth. This balance was achieved through much of the nineties. For this reason alone, investors in the stock and bond markets enjoyed huge gains during the bull market of the 1990s. Consumer sentiment did shift down in tandem with the equity market between 2000 and 2002. Consumer spending
accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy, so the markets are always dying to know what consumers are up to and how they might behave in the near future. The more confident consumers are about the economy and their own personal finances, the more likely they are to spend. With this in mind, its easy to see how this index of consumer attitudes gives insight to the direction of the economy. Just note that changes in consumer sentiment and retail sales dont move in tandem month by month.
