Last week, with investors a watching very closely any upcoming economic indicators to assess the real outlook for the global economy. US economic data depicting short−term economic trends did not give reasons for optimism. Industrial production recorded its worst decline since 1974. (Actual −2.8% vs forecast 0.9%), and Philadelphia Fed manufacturing survey established its lowest record at −37.5 since Oct 1990, besides, N.Y. Fed index (actual −24.62 vs forecast −10.00) and U.S. retail sales (actual −1.2% vs forecast −0.6%) have added reasons for concern.
JPY crosses have recovered slightly as global stocks rebounded sharply after a heavy fall last week, driven G7's call on further action against the global financial crisis. USD/CAD hit its highest record in last 36 months at 1.2127 on Friday10th Oct. It seems thast volatility arrived ti the markets to stay. Although we do not have too many economic events for next week , several explosive ones are scheduled. We can not afford to miss any of them. Let's review them all.
