Top Economic Events Today

Today, the market is focusing on a number of speeches from a couple of central bank's representatives.

 

Eurozone – EUR

Today at 14:00 & 16:00 (GMT), Draghi is expected to testify on the economy and monetary policy before the European Parliament Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee in Brussels.

 

Mario Draghi, as head of the ECB, controls short-term interest rates, and he has more influence over the Euro's value than any other person. Traders scrutinize his public engagements as they are often used to drop subtle clues regarding future monetary policy.

 

Great Britain Pound – GBP

At 18:30 (GMT), the MPC (Monetary Policy Committee) Member Ramsden is due to speak at King's College, in London. Since the audience questions are expected, it can cause slight volatility with any surprising thoughts about next monetary policy. Overall, I'm expecting it to go mute.

For now, the GBP/USD is holding above 50 periods EMA and that's where we can expect a slight buying.
