Week Ahead January 6th – 10th
EURUSD pair closed last week’s trading session lower on the lack of any economic releases in the EU. The only economic releases from the US outperformed expectations and gave traction to US Dollar pushing the pair another hundred pips on the downside compare to last week.
As for this week, traders and investors will mainly focus on the Inflation numbers from Germany and EU and the Nonfarm payroll in the US. FOMC minutes will be released on Wednesday. No change on interest rates is expected at this meeting and most probable no change in the monetary path of FED.
