This week will see a heavier and more serious news agenda than last week, with the key items of central bank input all concerning the U.S.A.
The market will probably be most active on Wednesday and Friday.
U.S. Dollar
It will be a very important and busy week for the greenback, starting on Tuesday with a release of CB Consumer Confidence data. On Wednesday, President Trump will give a state of the union address before Congress, and there will be releases of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change forecast, Crude Oil Inventories, and the FOMC Statement and Federal Funds Rate. On Thursday, we will get ISM Manufacturing PMI numbers, and finally on Friday, there will be releases of Average Hourly Earnings, Non-Farm Employment Change, and Unemployment Rate data.
British Pound
It will be a reasonably important week for the Pound, starting on Tuesday when the Governor of the Bank of England testifies before Parliament. Thursday will see the release of Manufacturing PMI data, and on Friday, we will get Construction PMI numbers.
Canadian Dollar
It will be a quiet but significant week for the Loonie, with nothing due except GDP data on Wednesday.
Australian Dollar
It will be a quiet but significant week for the Aussie, with nothing due except CPI data on Wednesday.
