The Children's Fashion Cologne trade fair can look forward to welcoming even more top-class brands at its debut from 11th to 13th July 2013. Brands that have recently registered include BOGNER, Miss Blumarine, New Balance Kids, Polo Ralph Lauren Children Shoes, Verdecchia, UGG Australia Kids, Marc O'Polo, Tumble' N Dry, gsus sindustries, Monta and Kavat. I Pinco Palino, Simonetta and Agatha Ruiz de la Prada will also be on hand in Cologne.
Children's Fashion Cologne sees itself as the new central ordering platform for the European children's fashion sector and beginning in July 2013, it will offer a blend of exhibition and fashion show to its international visitors twice a year - in the spring and in the summer.
Sector reactions to Children's Fashion Cologne:
Petra Jost and René Drai of PM ModeAgentur Kids de Luxe in Munich say, "Super! Finally a new trade fair with a truly impressive concept. It will be an event that presents children's fashion in an environment that has emotional energy, projects creativity and lifestyle, and inspires a passion for fashion.
"Now it's up to the sector to show its team spirit and make sure that Children's Fashion Cologne becomes the main event for the sector. We support what's happening in Cologne and recommend that anyone who wants to get things moving in children's fashion should participate."
Magnus Ericsson, Chairman of the shoe factory Kavat AB in Sweden says, "Children's Fashion Cologne has the potential to be the European source of inspiration for high-quality children's fashion.
"The synthesis of product show and brand identity coupled with the perfect organization of the partners, Koelnmesse and Luna media, will help Kavat achieve its goal of improving sales in central Europe. We're looking forward to being at CFC in Cologne because, like a number of buyers and stylists from all over Europe, we see this trade fair as an important kick-off event for the new season."

Chart - Created Using FXCM Marketscope 2.0 The Dow Jones-FXCM U.S. Dollar Index (Ticker: USDollar) is trading 0.10 percent lower from the open after moving 42 percent of its average true range, but we should see the greenback maintain the range-bound price action carried over from the previous week as market participation thins ahead of the holiday weekend. Nevertheless, as the index breaks out of the downward trending channel from earlier this month, an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern appears to be taking shape, and the rebound from the March low (10,413) may gather pace in the days ahead as the fundamental developments coming out of the U.S. economy highlight an improved outlook for growth. The topside break in the greenback remains constructive as long as we see the index hold above 10,450 region, and the bullish sentiment surrounding the USD should gather pace over the near to medium-term as the Federal Reserve adopts a more neutral to hawkish tone for monetary policy. 
Non-Farm Payrolls highlights the biggest U.S. event risk for the following week, and the labor report may increase the appeal of the reserve currency as employment is expected to increase another 190K in March. Although FOMC voting member Eric Rosengren supported a highly accommodative policy stance for the U.S. economy, the Boston Fed President noted that there’s a lot of excess reserve in the system, and argued that monetary support ‘can be reduced’ as the economic recovery gradually gathers pace. As the outlook for growth and inflation improves, we may see a growing number of central bank officials sound more upbeat in the coming months, and the bullish flag formation may pan out in the week ahead should the slew of data coming out of the world’s largest economy top market expectations. 
The greenback weakened against three of the four counterparts, led by a 0.31 percent rally in the Euro, which was followed by a 0.28 percent advance in the Japanese Yen. Indeed, there’s growing speculation that Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will implement a more aggressive approach in tackling deflation at the April 4 meeting, but we may see the new central bank head stick to the sidelines at his first interest rate decision amid the marked depreciation in the local currency. As the BoJ pledges to achieve the 2 percent target for inflation, the prospects for positive real interest rates in Japan should further dampen the appeal of the Japanese Yen, and the low-yielding currency remains poised to weaken further in 2013 as the central bank continues to embark on its easing cycle. --- Written by David Song, Currency Analyst To contact David, e-mail dsong@dailyfx.com.
