On Monday, we will get a chance to trade the British pound on the inflation report hearings.

Tuesday will be highlighted by the release for the US. Pay attention to the figures of CB consumer confidence.

Wednesday will be important for the NZD traders. The Reserve bank of New Zealand will publish its rate statement. After the rate cut during the previous meeting, we do not anticipate any changes to the current interest rate, but it may be interesting to hear how the bank sees its monetary policy in the future. Also, the USD may be supported by the release of core durable goods orders.

On Thursday we will get another chance to trade the New Zealand dollar on the release of ANZ business confidence. At the same time, pay attention to the level of the final GDP growth for the US.

On Friday, we will finally get another chance to trade the British pound on the release of the current account for Great Britain. Also, the loonie will be awaiting monthly GDP growth for Canada and the Business outlook survey by the Bank of Canada.

Let’s not forget that Friday will be the first day of the G20 Summit in Japan.
