The Week Ahead

FOMC, BoE and ECB to capitalize the action next week by FXstreet.com

Next week is a genuine Central Banks week. Three of the biggest 4 CB's of the world (US, UK and Euro-zone) are releasing their interest rate decisions and statements, which all traders around the globa are anxiously awaiting.
The first to come is US FOMC's on Wednesday, and next to come Bank of England and ECB, both on Thursday. The market will be paying speical attention to what the Fed has to say with respect to the immedaite future on interest rates.
But there is more data coming out next week. A brief list is outlined below.
On Monday, BoJ's policy meeting minutes will attract investors on the Yen trade.
On Tuesday, Germany's Industrial Production and US Wholesale Inventories will be in spotlight.
On Wednesday, Japan's leading economic indicators will shake-up the Asian session.
On Thursday, UK's Industrial Production, Europe's OECD indicator and US's Trade Balance and Import Price Index will complete a very busy economic day, with surely lots of volatility around.
On Friday, PPI and Retail Sales figures will wrap-up the week in spectacular fashion. Surely a very busy economic week ahead.
