This week's macroeconomic reports are expected to be limited, however, market participants will have the opportunity to review the most recent meeting minutes from major central banks.
USD: currently not favoured by the market
The US is gearing up to present a large volume of information, ranging from existing home sales to durable goods orders. The Federal Reserve is to release the minutes of its previous meeting. Given that the market is currently reassessing its interest rate expectations, any detail may be crucial. So far, the market sentiment is against the USD.
EUR: gaining market sympathy
The eurozone is set to release statistics on the November consumer confidence index and the manufacturing and services PMIs. The ECB will publish the minutes of its last meeting. While investors currently favour the EUR exchange rate, conditions can change rapidly.
GBP: further upward movement is unlikely
The UK will release the CBI manufacturing orders figures for November. The GBP has already capitalised on positive momentum and is unlikely to show further growth without additional support.
JPY: growth at the expense of the US dollar
The yen managed to correct while the US dollar was going down. Japan is set to present data on the countrys core inflation. These are significant statistics, but the Bank of Japan will unlikely revise its monetary policy based on this information.
Brent: support from OPEC+
There is an upcoming OPEC+ meeting scheduled for the weekend, prompting investors to purchase Brent, as they anticipate member nations enforcing fresh oil production constraints to bolster market prices.
