US Key events for next week - Danske Bank

Matías Salord FXStreet

According to analysts from Danske Bank, next week economic calendar includes the FOMC minutes, PMI data and core capex. They see the minutes from the the recent FOMC meeting less likely to be interesting.

Key Quotes:

“In the US, Wednesday brings FOMC minutes from the October/November meeting and core capex orders for October. The last FOMC meeting revealed no new information and we do not expect much new from the minutes either – the Fed is on track to deliver another hike in December.”

“Looking at core capex, it has been trending upwards since the spring in line with regional capex plan surveys. These suggest core capex orders growth of around 1.0% in October but the monthly changes are very volatile.”

“Markit PMIs for November are due for release on Friday. The large gap between Markit and ISM manufacturing narrowed in October and we expect this trend to continue (driven by both variables). Hence, we estimate that Markit PMI rose to 55.6. We estimate the service index stayed around its current level of 55.3.”

EUR/USD looks consolidative around 1.1460

EUR/USD stages a modest rebound after slipping to a three-month low below 1.1420 at the end of the week. That said, the pair now looks to consolidate humble gains just above 1.1460 despite growing uncertainty surrounding the next round of US-Iran negotiations, which keeps the US Dollar’s downside contained.

Gold slips back to six-day lows, targets $4,100

The Iran war didn't break the US economy, but what happens next?

Nearly four months after the start of the Iran war, the US economy remains remarkably resilient.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
