Flash: What’s in store for the day ahead?- Westpac
FXStreet (Guatemala) - Sean Callow, analyst at Westpac Banking Corporation ABN noted that the rest of Asia's data calendar is second tier ahead of a busier US session.
Key Quotes:
“The minutes from the Bank of England MPC’s Feb meeting pose some event risk for GBP, despite the release of the quarterly inflation report last week which sparked a steep sterling rally”.
“The US calendar is busy. On the data front, we will see Jan housing starts and building permits. Consensus of -4.9% and -1.6% allows for some weather-related weakness but risks are probably to the weak side once again”.
“The Jan PPI is the first of a revamped, broader series, but it still shouldn’t really move USD”.
“The minutes from the FOMC’s 28-29 Jan meeting are also due, which could play slightly USD-positive, given the Fed’s optimistic tone on growth”.
