During this period, bankers and investors typically go on vacation, so market volatility between Christmas and New Year&#8217;s Day generally remains below average. Nevertheless, it is not worth completely ignoring the macro background \u2013 market participants will focus on GDP data releases from the US, UK, and Canada, as well as on the minutes from the latest meetings of the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Bank of Japan. Of additional interest are economic indicators from Japan, scheduled for release on Friday and could provide the markets with new benchmarks. In China, investor attention will be focused on the Standing Committee of the National People&#8217;s Congress (December 22-27), where bills on ecology, national development, and foreign trade will be discussed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Monday, December 22<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\n<p>On Monday, investors&#8217; attention will be on the People&#8217;s Bank of China&#8217;s meeting. It is expected that the PBoC will keep rates unchanged. However, any hints of policy stimulus will be accompanied by a rise in Chinese indices and correlated instruments. Also on Monday, traders will be assessing the final UK GDP data. A modest 0.1% growth is expected, an improvement over the preliminary 0.1%. This could support the pound in the short term, but if the data comes in worse than expected, an opposite reaction should be anticipated.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\n<li>\u2013 China Loan Prime Rate at 03:15 (GMT+2); &#8211; CHA50, HK50 (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 UK GDP (q\/q) at 09:00 (GMT+2); &#8211; GBP (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Hong Kong Inflation Rate (m\/m) at 10:30 (GMT+2). &#8211; HK50 (LOW)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Tuesday, December 23<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\n<p>Several events are scheduled for Tuesday that deserve attention: during the Asian session, market participants will analyze the Reserve Bank of Australia&#8217;s meeting minutes and Singapore&#8217;s inflation data, while during the American session, the focus will shift to the publication of US and Canadian GDP figures. Weak economic momentum is expected in Canada, with the GDP forecast at 0.3% versus 0.2% a month earlier, which could exert pressure on the Canadian dollar. Meanwhile, a strong US GDP report of 3.2% is expected, which, if confirmed, could bolster the US dollar&#8217;s position.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\n<li>\u2013 Australia Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes (m\/m) at 02:30 (GMT+2);  &#8211; AUD (LOW)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Singapore Inflation Rate (m\/m) at 07:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; SGD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Durable Goods Orders (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+2);  &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US GDP (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Canada GDP (m\/m) at 15:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; CAD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Industrial Production (m\/m) at 16:15 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD (LOW)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US CB Consumer Confidence (m\/m) at 17:00 (GMT+2). &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Wednesday, December 24<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\n<p>On Wednesday, most financial exchanges will have a short working day. Early close will be in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It\u2019s a bank holiday in Germany, Norway, Switzerland, and Sweden. On Wednesday, it is advisable to focus primarily on short-term intraday positions, as sustainable trends are unlikely given reduced liquidity. Among macroeconomic publications, primary attention should be paid to US initial jobless claims data: a decline would signal continued labor market resilience and could support the dollar. Additionally, investors should evaluate statistics on crude oil and natural gas inventories, as these reports traditionally have a significant impact on the pricing of WTI and XNG.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\n<li>\u2013 Japan Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes at 01:50 (GMT+2); &#8211; JPY (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Initial Jobless Claims (w\/w) at 15:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; USD (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Crude Oil Inventories (w\/w) at 17:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; WTI (HIGH)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 US Natural Gas Storage (w\/w) at 19:00 (GMT+2). &#8211; XNG (HIGH)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Thursday, December 25<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\n<p>Because of Christmas, it\u2019s a bank holiday in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, Norway, and most European countries. Only the Asian markets will work. However, no important events are expected, so volatility will be very low. On this day, it is best to refrain from trading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">Friday, December 26<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">Most financial markets will also be closed on Friday (Boxing Day). Only the Asian markets (China and Japan) will work. The most essential Friday\u2019s release for investors will be the inflation report in Japan&#8217;s capital. This report is a leading indicator of nationwide inflation. The indicator is expected to decline from 2.8% to 2.5% on an annualized basis. Lower inflation may have a short-term negative impact on the yen.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">Main events of the day:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\u2013 Japan Tokyo Core CPI (m\/m) at 01:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; JPY (MED)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Japan Unemployment Rate (m\/m) at 01:30 (GMT+2); &#8211; JPY (LOW)<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Japan Industrial Production (m\/m) at 01:50 (GMT+2). &#8211; JPY (LOW)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"ag-analytics_text\">by <span class=\"author vcard\"><span class=\"fn\">JustMarkets<\/span><\/span>, 2025.12.22<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ag-base-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/secure.justmarkets.eu\/ro\/register\/?sl=1\">Open Account<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week&#8217;s main events (December 22 \u2013 December 26) This week will be relatively quiet due to the Christmas holidays.
