Last week the markets took some breather following the late October - early November huge economic data announcements.
The ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI led to some volatility but despite the sell-off in gold it was a relatively quiet week on the financial markets. What about the coming week? Let’s take a look at the details.
The week behind
Last week’s economic news releases haven’t moved the financial markets that much. On Monday we wrote that “the markets will likely take some breather in the coming week following last week’s huge economic data announcements”. And they did.
Tuesday’s U.S. ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI number led to some volatility, but it didn’t last long. However, stocks reached new record highs in the second half of the week following quarterly earnings releases. That’s when the price of gold took a deep dive below the $1,500 mark again. And there were some currency fluctuations after the monetary policy releases in Australia and the U.K.
The week ahead
What about the coming week? We will certainly wait for Wednesday’s and Thursday’s Fed Chair Powell testimony. And the second half of the week will bring us the CPI, PPI, Retail Sales data releases. The oil inventories numbers on Wednesday and Thursday may finally push the price of oil out of its short-term consolidation. Let’s take a look at key highlights:
You will find this week’s the key news releases below (EST time zone). For your convenience, we broken them down per market to which they are particularly important, so that you know what to pay extra attention to, if you have or plan to have positions in one of them. Moreover, we put the particularly important news in bold.
This kind of news is what is more likely to trigger volatile movements. The news that are not in bold usually don’t result in bigger intraday moves, so unless one is engaging in a particularly active form of day trading, it might be best to focus on the news that we put in bold. Of course, you are free to use the below indications as you see fit.
As far as we are concerned, we are usually not engaging in any day trading during days with “bold” events on a given market. However, in case of more medium-term trades, we usually choose to be aware of the increased intraday volatility, but not change the currently opened position.
