The Week Ahead

Friday, killing Friday by FXstreet.com

It probably is the busiest Friday ever in terms of economic releases. The mixture of PCE, NFP, ISM and other indicators coming out of the US guarantees a feast for the hungry ones, and probably a nightmare for the ones being trapped in the vicious circle.

The week starts with both UK and US amrkets closed, and no relevant economic events scheduled.

On Tuesday, employment data coming out of Japan, German CPI and US Consumer Confidence are the events to watch.

On Wednesday, only Japan's Industrial Production and US's FOMC minutes for the last meeting will shake the markets.

On Thursday, unemployment figures from Germany, alongside Euro-ZOne's CPI flash and UK's M4 figures will conform a busy morning in Europe. GDP data and Chicago PMI index are other important data to watch coming out of the US.

And finally, what was (up to that day) a relatively quiet week, turns into a monster. UK, Germany and Euro-zone PMI's to start the day, Eurozone's GDP to follow and US's full unemplyment report + PCE data (personal income and spending) + ISM MAnufacturing Index figures to end the week in spectacular fashion. Volatility will be very high in the last trading day of the week, that, at least, we are sure of.
