Market Impact Analysis

  • Australia Employment & Unemployment Data:
    Strong employment growth would support the AUD, while higher unemployment or a weaker-than-expected employment change could weigh on the currency.
  • ECB Interest Rate Decision & CPI Data:
    A rate cut, coupled with easing inflation, could weaken the EUR, as it signals a shift toward more accommodative monetary policy. Hawkish remarks during the press conference would provide support to the EUR.
  • US Jobless Claims & Retail Sales:
    Lower-than-expected jobless claims and stronger retail sales would strengthen the USD, signaling economic resilience. Weak data could soften the USD by indicating economic slowing.
  • US Crude Oil Inventories:
    A large drawdown in inventories would suggest strong demand, supporting oil prices, while a build would indicate weaker demand, putting downward pressure on prices.
  • Japan CPI Data:
    Slower inflation in Japan would reduce pressure on the BoJ to tighten policy, which could weigh on the JPY.

Overall Impact

Volatility:
High, driven by major central bank decisions (ECB), US labor market and retail sales data, and Japanese inflation figures. Oil market data and industrial production reports may also contribute to potential market swings.

Impact Score: 8/10, with significant focus on the ECB’s interest rate decision, US jobless claims and retail sales, and Japan’s inflation data shaping global economic sentiment.
