As for this week, traders and investors will mainly focus on the US non-farm payrolls and CPI number from Europe.

Attention should be paid on ECB’s President Lagarde speech on Monday and Tuesday after the European CPI release, and FED’s Chairman Powell speech on Tuesday. On Wednesday FOMC minutes will be released and investors will gather information regarding when the interest rate reduction will take place on the next month’s meeting.
