FXOpen

In this video, we’ll explore the key economic events, market trends, and corporate news shaping the financial landscape. Get ready for expert insights into forex, commodities, and stocks to help you navigate the week ahead. Let’s dive in!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • BoC’s Interest Rate Decision
    The Bank of Canada faces a tough decision on 4th June, likely keeping rates steady at 2.75%, but mixed economic signals complicate the outlook. Headline inflation has slowed, core inflation remains high, and unemployment and manufacturing strain rise. How will Governor Tiff Macklem’s comments influence the CAD this time?
  • ECB’s Interest Rate Decision
    The European Central Bank is expected to cut rates by 25bps on 5th June, but debate continues over future moves. With inflation near target but growth slow, will the ECB ease further? Market eyes President Christine Lagarde’s press conference for clues. How will the euro react?
  • Unemployment Rate in Canada
    Canada’s jobs data is due on 6th June, with rising unemployment expected amid trade tensions and slowing growth. The OECD forecasts unemployment could reach 7.1% this year. With April’s rate already at 6.9%, how will the new figures impact the Canadian dollar?
  • NFP and Unemployment Rate in the US
    The US will release its key monthly jobs report simultaneously, following April’s addition of 177,000 jobs—beating forecasts—and a steady 4.2% unemployment rate. Will job growth continue to show resilience, or will signs of economic strain emerge?
  • Corporate Earnings Statements
    Corporate earnings could impact markets—strong results boost risk appetite; weak ones may trigger sell-offs. How will earnings affect market sentiment?
