The US, China, the Eurozone, and the UK will release PMI data for May, which should bolster optimism about the global economy. Investors should also closely monitor the New Zealand Reserve Bank meeting as the RBNZ is not yet finished with monetary policy tightening. The UK will release April Consumer Price Index data on Wednesday. Economists expect the annual rate of inflation to have slowed sharply. Several Fed officials are also scheduled to speak during the week, which could provide clues as to the US Fed&#8217;s plans for the summer.\r\n  <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">\r\n    Monday, May&#160;20\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\r\nOn Monday, traders should focus on Asian indices as China will release influential data.

However, no significant changes in the indicators are expected. Also, during the day, officials from the ECB, the Bank of England, and the US Federal Reserve will speak. As a rule, the speeches do not bring a sharp change in volatility but affect the medium-term trends because the probabilities of rate cuts are re-evaluated after the comments.\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n   <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">\r\n    Main events of the day:\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n<li>\u2013 Australia RBA Meeting Minutes at&#160;04:30&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone ECB President Lagarde Speaks at&#160;11:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Eurozone Trade Balance at&#160;12:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Canada Consumer Price Index&#160;(m\/m) at&#160;15:30&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US FOMC Member Barkin Speaks at&#160;16:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US FOMC Member Williams Speaks at&#160;16:05&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US FOMC Member Bostic Speaks at&#160;16:10&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US FOMC Member Barr Speaks at&#160;18:45&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 UK BoE Gov Bailey Speaks at&#160;20:00&#160;(GMT+3).<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">\r\n    Wednesday, May&#160;22\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\r\nOn Wednesday, investors will focus on the FOMC minutes and the New Zealand RBNZ Interest Rate Decision. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is expected to leave rates unchanged for the seventh consecutive meeting amid persistent inflation and a slowing economy. However, volatility in pairs with the New Zealand dollar could spike. As for the FOMC minutes, all analysts will examine the report for clues on when the US Federal Reserve plans to begin its rate-cutting campaign. If it clarifies that it&#8217;s worth keeping rates at the same level until the fall, it could bring some confidence to the US dollar. The UK inflation data should also be on the sheet for traders. Core inflation is expected to fall to&#160;3.6% y\/y from&#160;4.2% y\/y, while the overall rate is expected to fall to&#160;2.3% y\/y. This will be a victory over inflation, but for the GBP, it will be a negative scenario, bringing it closer to the first-rate cut from the Bank of England. \r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list__strong\">\r\n    Main events of the day:\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <ul class=\"ag-analytics_list\">\r\n<li>\u2013 US FOMC Member Collins Speaks at&#160;02:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US FOMC Member Mester Speaks at&#160;02:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 Japan Trade Balance at&#160;02:50&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 New Zealand RBNZ Interest Rate Decision at&#160;05:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 New Zealand RBNZ Monetary Policy Statement at&#160;05:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 New Zealand RBNZ Press Conference at&#160;06:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 UK Consumer Price Index&#160;(m\/m) at&#160;09:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 UK Producer Price Index&#160;(m\/m) at&#160;09:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Existing Home Sales&#160;(m\/m) at&#160;17:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US Crude Oil Reserves&#160;(w\/w) at&#160;17:30&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 US FOMC Meeting Minutes at&#160;21:00&#160;(GMT+3);<\/li>\r\n<li>\u2013 New Zealand RBNZ Gov Orr Speaks at&#160;23:10&#160;(GMT+3).<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title\">\r\n    Thursday, May&#160;23\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"ag-analytics_title-list\">\r\nThursday will bring various Manufacturing PMI and Services PMI statistics for many countries.
