Forex Week Ahead Analysis

China’s observance of the Spring Festival holiday throughout the week is expected to have a significant impact on certain assets, particularly those tied to the Chinese market, such as the Hang Seng index.

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey is scheduled to speak twice this week, with engagements at Loughborough University and testimony before the Economic Affairs Committee. Bailey’s remarks could provide valuable insights into the central bank’s monetary policy stance and its outlook on the UK economy, influencing sterling’s performance in the forex market.

Attention will also be on key economic indicators from the UK. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) year-on-year is forecasted to tick up from 4.0% to 4.1%, potentially impacting expectations regarding inflationary pressures. However, GDP data is expected to show a contraction, with forecasts pointing to a decline from 0.3% to -0.2%.

In the US, investors will be closely watching the release of Consumer Price Index (CPI) month-on-month data, which is projected to dip slightly from 0.3% to 0.2%. Core CPI, however, is forecasted to remain steady at 0.3%. Additionally, attention will be on US retail sales figures, which are expected to show a decline from 0.6% to -0.2%. These indicators will offer insights into the state of inflation and consumer spending in the world’s largest economy, potentially impacting the trajectory of the US dollar in the forex market.
