The Week Ahead

Busy week in terms of economic data by FXstreet.com

If anything, next week is a very busy week in every corner of the industrialized world. From the US to Japan, with UK and the Euro-zone, all of them have important data to show that certainly will keep the markets in a volatile tone throughout the week.

The star of the week comes from the US on Friday, with the release of Personal Income and Spending figures, but the are more from the States next week. On Thursday we will see the release of the GDP figures, Durable Goods will come out on Wednesday and Consumer Confidence will be out twice, on Tuesday and Friday.

In the UK, Nationwide house prices will kick off the releases on tuesday, with M4 money supply on Thursday and GFK consumer confidence survey on Friday acting as the other market movers for the week.

In the Euro-zone, IFO survey on Tuesday starts off the week, with German CPI figures on Wednesday continuing the set of releases. On Thursday, Germany's unemployment rate sets the pace to finish the week on Friday with CPI estimate, unemployment figures and business and economic confidence for the whole Euro-zone.

Last but not least, in Japan the minutes of the last boJ meeting will be released on Monday, trade balance figures will come out on Thursday and CPI figures will be released on Friday.
