It looks as if it is going to be a reasonably busy week ahead, although the focus will not fall on the USD but instead on the three currencies whose Central Banks are reporting this week: the Euro, the Canadian Dollar, and the Australian Dollar.

Euro

It will be a fairly significant week ahead for the Euro, with the Minimum Bid Rate and crucial ECB Press Conference due on Thursday. On Friday there will be releases of French and German Flash Manufacturing PMI data.

Canadian Dollar

It will be a fairly busy week for the Loonie, with Wednesday seeing the release of the Bank of Canada’s Monetary Policy Report, Rate Statement, and Overnight Rate. Thursday will see the release of Core Retail Sales data, and finally on Friday we will get Core CPI data.

Australian Dollar

It will be a very quiet week for the Aussie, with nothing due except the release of the Reserve Bank of Australia’s Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes on Tuesday.

U.S. Dollar

It should be a fairly quiet week ahead for the Greenback. Tuesday will see the release of Building Permits data. This will be followed on Thursday by Unemployment Claims numbers.

British Pound

It should be a fairly quiet week ahead for the British Pound. Tuesday will see the Governor of the Bank of England testify before the British Parliament. This will be followed on Thursday by Retail Sales data.

New Zealand Dollar

A very quiet week ahead for the Kiwi, with only GDT Price Index data due on Tuesday.
