 We start next week with a national bank holidaty in both Canada and the US. Overall, next week is light on US releases. We do have some important central bank decisions, from Australia, Canada and the UK – with Canada the bank expected to raise rates, as well as employment figures from Australia and Canada, so those two currencies have the most event risk coming up. Also on tap will be trade balance data from the US, Canada and China which should give a picture of global growth and activity. But first on Monday trading. |
This week we saw some strong global manufacturing data which helped support risk appetite to start September. A positive report on growth from Australia also helped.
