Oct 08 – EUR/USD, USD/CAD Trading Setups, & Key Economic Events to Watch!

Good morning, traders.
As discussed earlier, the global financial markets remain closed in the observance of Thanksgiving and Colombian day which is why the fundamentals side is on the lighter side. Nevertheless, forex brokers will be operative today. Trading volume and volatility are likely to remain very thin. Let’s take a look at the economic events and the forex trade setups today…

Today’s Top Economic Events

EUR – German Industrial Production m/m
At 6:00 (GMT), the Destatis will be releasing industrial production figures for Germany. It shows a change in the total inflation-adjusted value of output produced by manufacturers, mines, and utilities. Economists are expecting a 0.4% rise in the production vs. a drop of -1.1%.

Traders, it’s a low impact economic event and usually drives no volatility in the market. But in the absence of major economic events, the market may focus on German industrial production to determine further trends for the Euro.
