Week’s main events (February 05 – February 09)
In terms of economic events, this week will be much calmer than the previous one. The main events of the week will be the meeting of the Central Bank of Australia, inflation data in Germany and China, and speeches by representatives of central banks. The RBA is expected to leave interest rates unchanged at its first meeting of the year. Comments from the European Central Bank (ECB), Bank of England (BoE), and US Fed officials will be closely watched by investors. Concerns about rising tensions in the Middle East will also remain at the forefront after the United States launched retaliatory strikes late Friday against Iran-backed militants in Iraq and Syria following a drone attack in Jordan last weekend that killed three US service members. Also, traders shouldn’t forget about the US and European earning seasons.
