Last week was surprisingly eventful, but this coming week should be more eventful still as we have a few very important events scheduled for the U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen, and Australian Dollar. First up is the Australian Central Bank’s monthly statement on Tuesday which will be eagerly watched to see how it reflects last week Chinese devaluation. Focus will then shift to the FOMC on Wednesday, followed a few hours later by the Bank of Japan and a fairly busy Thursday which should see a lively market.
U.S. Dollar
This highlight of the greenback’s week will arrive on Wednesday when we will get the last FOMC Meeting Minutes release before the possible rate hike next month, as well as CPI numbers. The day before that on Tuesday there will be a release of Building Permits data. Finally, on Thursday we will get Unemployment Claims and the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index releases.
Japanese Yen
The most important event of the month for the Yen arrives Thursday with the release of the Bank of Japan’s Monetary Policy Statement followed by the usual press conference. Earlier in the week on Monday we will get Preliminary GDP data.
Australian Dollar
On Tuesday there will be a release of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes.
British Pound
On Tuesday there will be a release of CPI data, followed on Thursday by Retail Sales data.
Canadian Dollar
A quiet week for the Loonie until Thursday, when a release of Wholesale Sales data is scheduled to take place. Then on Friday we will get Core CPI and Core Retail Sales numbers.
Euro
There are no high-impact events concerning the Euro scheduled until Friday, when French and German Flash Manufacturing PMI data will be released.
New Zealand Dollar
A quiet week for the Kiwi, with only GDT Price Index data due on Wednesday.
