On Tuesday, at 14:00 GMT, the CB Consumer Confidence index could impact the markets through the US Dollar. Namely, a good reading would indicate that US consumers continue to spend and inflation is set to continue to increase, which would require additional USD monetary tightening.
On Friday, at 12:30 GMT the Core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index is bound to make an impact, as the head of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell revealed last week that he is watching this index as a measure for inflation not the Consumer Price Index.
