BOJ Gov Kuroda Speaks

 

On Monday Kuroda and Ben Bernanke are scheduled to speak, Australia will release the Building Approvals, UK the Manufacturing PMI and US the ISM Manufacturing. Tuesday Reserve Bank of Australia will announce the Cash Rate which will be followed by a statement.

Wednesday the eyes of the investors will be on the Australian GDP; Services PMI for UK; Trade Balance and Overnight rate for Canada; Trade Balance, ISM Non-Manufacturing, New Home Sales and maybe the most important the ADP Non-Farm Payrolls for the United States.

Thursday will be a very heavy day. Bank of England will announce their monetary policy with the Asset Purchases and the Official Bank Rate followed by a statement. The ECB will have the monetary policy followed by the press conference and the United States will release the Prelim GDP for the past quarter and the Unemployment Claims.

But the race is not over without Friday, when Canada will publish some labor market data and the United States will release the Unemployment Rate, Non-Farm Payrolls and not to forget about the Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment.
