Forex Week Ahead Highlights: Key Market Events to Watch
European Bank Holidays Impact Trading Volumes
The week begins with lighter trading volumes across Europe due to bank holidays in France, Germany, and Switzerland. These holidays typically lead to reduced market activity, as major financial hubs are closed. Traders should anticipate potential volatility due to the thinner liquidity, which can lead to more pronounced price movements in the forex market.
Tuesday: Canadian Inflation Data in Focus
On Tuesday, the spotlight turns to Canada with the release of the latest inflation data. Economists forecast a slight decline in the monthly inflation rate, from 0.6% to 0.5%. This data is crucial as it provides insights into the health of the Canadian economy and influences the Bank of Canada’s monetary policy decisions. Forex traders will be closely monitoring the Canadian dollar (CAD) and especially USDCAD, as the price hovers precariously above the key 1.3600 handle.
UK Inflation Data: A Pivotal Moment for the Pound
Throughout the week, significant attention will be on the United Kingdom as it releases key inflation figures. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) year-on-year is expected to fall from 3.2% to 2.1%. This decline would bring the inflation rate well within the Bank of England’s target range, potentially paving the way for future rate cuts. Forex traders should watch the British pound (GBP) closely, as a significant drop in inflation could lead to the Bank of England cutting rates in their next meeting. The Bank of England Governor Bailey will also talk this week, any future monetary policy outlooks could lead to GBP being the key mover amongst currencies this week.
New Zealand’s RBNZ Interest Rate Decision
In the Pacific region, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) is scheduled to announce its interest rate decision. The RBNZ is forecast to leave rates unchanged at 5.50%. This decision will be scrutinized for any indications of future monetary policy adjustments. Stability in interest rates often signals a steady economic outlook, but any unexpected comments from the RBNZ could lead to shifts in the New Zealand dollar (NZD).
Implications for Forex Traders
Forex traders should be aware of the upcoming data this week and adjust risk appropriately. GBP, NZD and CAD are expected to be big movers this week which brings both opportunity and risk.
USD Index
The price on the chart has traded through multiple technical levels and some observations included:
- The USD Index fell again last week before finding support around 104.00, which held confluence with lows formed in April and a trend line support.
- Lower time frames still highlight downside pressure for the greenback and with little US data this week, we could see selling continue.
GBPUSD
The price on the chart has traded through multiple technical levels and some observations included:
- The price of cable (GBPUSD) rose significantly after the price broke through the key resistance of 1.2600.
- A key level of 1.2700 is now in the way of price, but if this level is breached a move towards 1.2800, where high volumes rest could be tested.
NZDUSD
The price on the chart has traded through multiple technical levels and some observations included:
- The RBNZ data this week could shake up the NZDUSD pair as price approaches the key resistance level of 0.6200.
- Lower time frames such as the H1 chart shows price breaking through a bullish flag pattern which could signal further short term upside.
USDCAD
The price on the chart has traded through multiple technical levels and some observations included:
- Canadian CPI data this week could provide a catalyst for the price of USDCAD to seek lower prices.
- Higher volume levels can be seen below the major swing level of 1.3600 at 1.3560 and below.
