The coming week ahead is likely to be much quieter compared to the turmoil and volatility we have seen over recent weeks, as the overall news release agenda is exceptionally thin. There will be a few items of crucial U.S. economic data coming, but no central bank actions whatsoever. Additionally, the entire week is a public holiday in China, and will also be observed by Chinese communities around the globe. Monday is a public holiday in New Zealand and Thursday is a public holiday in Japan.
