Economic Calendar Analysis


This week, the market might move due to multiple releases of economical data in the United States, however no significant volatility should be expected.

However, despite these releases, significant volatility is not expected, as traders may remain cautious or wait for more impactful developments before making major moves. The data may provide direction, but unless there is a major surprise or shift in market expectations, price swings are likely to remain moderate.

The top events of the week will be the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Retail Sales (MoM). The CPI is a key indicator of inflation, providing insights into the changes in the cost of goods and services, which can significantly influence market sentiment and expectations for future monetary policy. Retail Sales data, on the other hand, reflects consumer spending trends and is an important gauge of the overall health of the economy.
