We have reached the final trading day of this week and it’s time to see what news releases could shake up the FX markets.
The publication of the Swiss Producer Price Index for December opens this agenda at a half past seven in the morning. Producer prices dropped by point 3 percent month on month in November to wipe out October’s gain. Markets anticipate another decline this time around.
The Euro Zone Current Account data for November will then be available at 9 AM. The seasonally adjusted surplus of the current account expanded sharply in October, jumping by more than five billion Euros to 23 billion.
The high importance UK Retail Sales release for December follows at 9:30. According to the Office for National Statistics, the quantity bought in November increased by 1.4 percent month on month. A strong monthly growth of 5.3 percent in household goods stores was the main driver.
The Canadian Consumer Price Index update for the final month of last year could shake up the Loonie Dollar at 1:30 PM GMT. The annual inflation slowed down sharply in November as it dropped from 2.4 percent. Plunging gasoline prices have pushed the annual growth to the lowest level since early 2018.
The US Industrial Production stats for December will then be available at a quarter past 2 PM. Production rebounded by point 6 percent in November after slipping by point 2 percent in October.
The publication of the Preliminary University of Michigan Survey for January will wrap up this agenda at 3 PM GMT. Consumer confidence remained in December at the same record favorable levels as it has throughout the year. The Sentiment Index averaged at 98.4 in 2018, making it the best year since 2000.
