Forex Week Ahead Analysis
Hello traders, let's take a moment to prepare for the week ahead in the forex market. Here's a rundown of the key events and forecasts that could shape our trading decisions:
Australia's Consumer Price Index (CPI) year-on-year (y/y) data is on the radar, with expectations pointing towards a modest increase from 3.4% to 3.6%. This could have implications for the Australian Dollar's performance, so it's worth keeping an eye on.
The RBNZ is set to announce its interest rate decision, widely anticipated to remain unchanged at 5.50%. Alongside the decision, the central bank's commentary will be scrutinized for insights into future monetary policy direction, potentially impacting the New Zealand Dollar (NZD).
In the US, attention is on the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index month-on-month (m/m) data, forecasted to show a slight uptick from 0.2% to 0.4%. This metric is closely watched for its implications on inflation and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy outlook.
Canada's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) month-on-month (m/m) figures are expected to hold steady at 0.2%. Stable GDP growth reflects economic consistency, which may influence the Canadian Dollar's performance in the forex market.
