UK Manufacturing PMI up next!

Watchlist – Key Economic Events Today

 

AUD- Retail Sales m/m

The data was due at 2:30 (GMT) with a forecast of 0.3% vs. 0.4%. It’s out now but it has disappointed the market as the sales turnover was relatively unchanged (0.0%) in July 2018. Economists were expecting a growth of 0.3% in July. As discussed in FX Leaders’ update, Aussie plunged as retail sales figure disappoints – Buckle up for a retracement, the AUD/USD dipped earlier but we may have a buying opportunity.

 

JPY – BOJ Gov Kuroda Speaks

At 6:40 (GMT), the Bank of Japan’s Governor Kuroda is due to speak at a symposium commemorating the 30th anniversary of stock index futures trading, in Tokyo. Being the head of a central bank, his remarks are closely monitored. So, any supporting comments will cause a volatility in the market.

 

GBP – Manufacturing PMI

Manufacturing PMI is due to be released at 9:30 (GMT). It’s a leading indicator of economic health and businesses react quickly to market conditions, and their purchasing managers hold perhaps the most current and relevant insight into the company’s view of the economy.

 

The manufacturing PMI is expected to slightly drop from 54 to 53.9. But in case of drop up to 50 to lower, there will be a massive selling in the GBP. Stay tuned to FX Leaders economic calendar for live coverage of these economic events. Good luck for today!
