Let’s see which news releases could move the currency markets on Thursday, the 18th of January. This is the Economic Calendar.
The high importance Chinese fourth quarter GDP is up first at 7 AM, and the third quarter data showed a slightly slower growth than the 6.9% gain a quarter ago.
Chinese Industrial Production for December is out at the same time. Output grew at a slightly slower pace in November, following a 6.2% increase the previous month.
Coming up next at half past 1 PM GMT is the closely watched weekly update on US Jobless Claims. Initial claims went up by 11 thousand during the week ending January 6 whereas the continuing claims dropped by 35 thousand during the week ending December 30.
Philly Fed Manufacturing Index for January will be available at the same time. The Index rebounded strongly in December, having slipped to a 4-month low in November.
US Building Permits for December are out at this time as well. November data surprised on the upside, and single-family housing permits rose to a 10-year high.
And wrapping things up at half past 9 in the evening is the New Zealand Performance of Manufacturing Index for December. The Index returned to growth in November, rising to a 4-month high.
You’ve been watching the Economic Calendar for Thursday with me, Jessica Walker. Friday brings the latest updates on US consumer confidence, so check back.
