It’s time for another Dukascopy Economic Calendar. Here’s a rundown of the most important news releases scheduled for Monday, the 19th of December.
New Zealand Building Permits for October are up first at 9:45 the previous evening. The number of permits returned to growth in September, following 2 months of decline.
Japanese Trade Balance for November follows at 11:50. Trade surplus widened more than anticipated in October, reaching its highest level in more than 5 years.
New Zealand Business Confidence for December is out at midnight. The Index lost 4 points in November, but it remains very much in the positive territory.
German Ifo Business Climate for December comes at 9 AM. The Index stood unchanged in November, having reached a 2-year high the previous month.
US Preliminary Services PMI for December will be available at 2:45 PM GMT. The November PMI did inch slightly lower, but it still was the second-highest reading in 11 months.
And Reserve Bank of Australia will release the closely watched minutes of its December meeting at half past midnight. The meeting brought no changes to the monetary policy, but the markets are anticipating a rate hike next year. These minutes could shed some light on these plans.
I’m Kiays Khalil and these were the news releases to watch on this Monday. Check back in for the next overview of key events for Tuesday. Goodbye.
