Good morning traders.

USD attracted considerable attention the past week due to debt ceiling concerns and mostly hawkish messages from FOMC members. After a meeting last Tuesday President Biden and Senate leadership both commented that there has been some progress and that they would not allow the US to default. Germany’s ZEW expectations index fell for a third month at -10.7% while in China retail sales, industrial production and fixed asset investment reading came under market consensus as well.
Another busy week ahead in the forex market filled with top-tier events starting from Tuesday 23rd with Germany announcing May’s flash manufacturing PMI. After that, the U.K. is scheduled to report its PMI readings. On Wednesday focus will turn to New Zealand with the RBNZ interest rate decision which is likely to announce another 0.25% hike. On the fundamental front, along with RBNZ interest rate decision, we will have the release of FOMC May meeting minutes.
Lastly but certainly not least the US Bureau of Economic Analysis will announce on Friday the Fed’s preferred inflation measure the Core PCE price index which is expected to come out unchanged at 0.3%.


Have a nice week ahead.
