After a day in which many countries were on holiday, today most markets are open, and there are a few notable indicators, with American consumer confidence being the most important one. Let’s see what’s up for today:
In Switzerland, the UBS Consumption Indicator is predicted to edge higher from last month’s 0.87 points. USD/CHF seems stable at the moment.
In Europe, the German Prelim CPI will be of interest to traders of EUR/USD. After many months around 0, the continent’s largest economy is expected to show a rise of 0.6% in prices.

In the US, house prices will be reflected via the S&P/CS Composite-20 HPI. The year-over-year index is expected to show a smaller drop this time – only 7% compared to 9.4% last time.
Later in the US, the CB Consumer Confidence is predicted to rise above the 50 mark after scoring below in recent months. Two months ago, this indicator sent the Euro down. It’s now expected to rise to 53.3 points.
That’s it for today. Happy forex trading!
