Trading Calendar – Week 29th June 2009

By anna · Comments (0)
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

This week is very strange, with a very quiet day on Monday, and all the main fundamental news items then crowded together towards the end of the week, with NFP on Thursday as a result of the 4th July celebrations in the US on Friday. Thursday could well prove to be a seminal day, as the ECB rate decision coincides with the NFP data, and this could prove to be the turning point for the US dollar, so an interesting week ahead. The US dollar index in particular is looking very weak at present, as shown on the daily chart.
