Currencies/Events to Watch this Week

  • The Sterling could very well stage a comeback this week as economic data from the UK relatively light. Watch out for the GBPUSD, GBPCAD and GBPJPY pairs
  • US Final Q2 GDP will be out and markets will be looking for a 4.6% upward revision from 4.2%. Any downward revision will drive the bears back into the game, bullish print could see the markets reading into the Fed’s timetable for a rate hike by June 2015, if not earlier.
