Daily Economic Calendar – June 6, 2017

You’re watching the Economic Calendar for Tuesday, the 6th of June. Let’s see which news releases could move the currency markets.
Euro Zone Investor Confidence for June is up first at 8:30, and the May data was quite a surprise as the Index soared to a 10-year high; in particular, investors are increasingly optimistic in their assessment of the current situation.

Euro Zone Retail Sales for April follow at 9. Sales have been growing for the past three months, and the March gain was higher than anticipated.
Coming up next at 2 PM GMT are the US JOLTS Job Openings for April. Now, the US labour market has been a strong performer, and March data did reflect it, but it’s probably a good idea to remember that the May employment report was disappointingly weak.
Canadian May Ivey PMI is out at the same time. The Index hit a 15-month high in April, driven by strong price growth.
New Zealand first quarter manufacturing sales are scheduled at 10:45 in the evening. Sales continued growing at the end of 2016, mostly on the back of higher meat and dairy sales.
Australian Performance of Construction Index for May comes at 11:30. The Index has stood in the positive territory for past 3 months, which is a welcome change from 4 months of decline.
Another Australian news publication, and a highly anticipated one, is out at 1:30 AM, and it’s the first quarter Australian GDP. Australian economy rebounded in the fourth quarter from the half a percent drop the previous period.
And Japanese Preliminary Leading Index for April concludes the schedule at 5. The Index grew by point 7 points in March and now stands at its highest level in almost 2 years.
