Let’s see which news releases could move the currency markets on Thursday, the 17th of December. This is the Dukascopy Economic Calendar.
European Central Bank will release its latest Economic Bulletin at 9 AM. This publication will explain some of the reasoning behind the Bank’s decision to expand its QE programme.
German Ifo Business Climate for December is out at the same time. The Index came in much better than anticipated in November, suggesting the German economy can withstand the numerous troubles it has recently encountered.
UK Retail Sales for November follow at 9:30. Sales slipped in October following a strong 1.7% gain the previous month.
Coming up next at 1:30 PM GMT are the closely watched US Jobless Claims. Initial claims went up by 13 thousand during the week ending December 5 while the continuing claims grew by 82 thousand during the week ending November 28.
Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index for December will be available at this time as well. The Index rebounded in November, having stood below zero for the previous two months.
US Leading Index for November is scheduled at 3. The October data surprised on the upside, fully reversing a point 1% decline a month ago.
And Kiwi Dollar traders may want to tune in at midnight, when New Zealand Business Confidence for December is released. The Index rose to a six-month high in November as businesses are increasingly optimistic about the economic outlook.
You’ve been watching the Economic Calendar for Thursday with me, Monica Gibson. Our next Calendar will cover the most important publications for Friday, so check back.
