Daily Economic Calendar, September 26, 2017

This is the Economic Calendar for Tuesday, the 26th of September. Let’s see which news releases could move the currency markets. UK Mortgage Approvals for August are up first at half past 8 in the morning, and July data came in stronger than expected as the number of approvals reached a 6-month high. UK S&P House Price Index for July follows at 1.

The Index has been growing at a steady 5.7% pace for the past 2 months. Coming up next at 2 PM GMT is the closely watched US Consumer Confidence for September, and the Index soared by almost 3 points in August, driven by strong assessment of current conditions. US New Home Sales for August are out at the same time. The Index dropped to a 7-month low in July, although the first half of the year was much better than anticipated. And Fed Chair Janet Yellen will be speaking at National Association for Business Economics Annual Meeting in Cleveland at quarter to 5 in the evening. The topic of her closely watched speech is “Inflation, Uncertainty and Monetary Policy” and, moreover, audience questions are expected, so there should be plenty of opportunities for market movements.
