Market Impact Analysis

  • Australia Construction Work Done: An increase suggests recovery in the construction sector, supporting AUD and signaling economic growth. A decrease may indicate ongoing challenges in the sector.
  • Fed Waller Speaks: Any comments on future monetary policy or economic conditions can influence market expectations and impact USD. Hawkish comments may boost USD, while dovish comments could support equities.
  • Eurogroup Meetings: Discussions may influence EUR, particularly if significant economic policies or financial stability measures are announced.
  • US Crude Oil and Cushing Inventories: Lower inventories generally support higher oil prices, while higher inventories can lead to price declines. These figures are closely watched for insights into supply and demand dynamics.
  • US 5-Year Note Auction: Investor demand for 5-year Treasury notes can impact bond yields and market sentiment. High demand usually supports bond prices and lowers yields, while low demand could have the opposite effect.
