Market Impact Analysis

  • Eurozone CPI: Stable or rising inflation supports EUR, indicating price stability in the region. Lower-than-expected CPI may raise concerns about slowing economic growth.
  • US Housing Data (Building Permits and Housing Starts): A decline in housing starts or permits could signal weaker economic activity in the real estate sector, which may weigh on USD. A rebound would support USD and indicate economic resilience.
  • FOMC Statement, Interest Rate Decision, and Projections: The Fed’s decisions and economic projections will be crucial for USD and global markets. If the Fed signals continued tightening, USD may strengthen. However, dovish signals could weaken USD and lift equities.
  • US Crude Oil Inventories: A rise in inventories may pressure oil prices lower, while a decline could support higher prices, impacting energy stocks and commodity-linked currencies like CAD.
  • New Zealand GDP and Current Account: A shrinking GDP or widening current account deficit could weaken NZD, signaling economic slowdown.

Overall Impact

  • Volatility: High, driven by the Fed’s rate decision and projections, as well as housing data and Eurozone inflation.
  • Impact Score: 9/10, with strong potential for market movements across equities, currencies, bonds, and commodities.
