In this episode of Market Insights, Gary Thomson unpacks the strategic implications of the week’s most critical events driving global markets.

📌 Key Highlights: Key topics covered in this episode:

✔️ UK
With GBP/USD near multi-month highs but momentum fading, traders are closely watching key UK data amid ongoing geopolitical risks. The UK unemployment rate is due on 20 January, followed by the UK inflation report on 21 January — will these releases shift expectations for the pound, or will dollar dynamics remain in control?

✔️ US
With the US dollar stuck in a broad range amid persistent geopolitical risks, traders are turning to key data for direction. Will the final US GDP figures or the PCE Price Index both on 22 January provide the catalyst the dollar needs to break out?

✔️ Stocks to Watch
With key earnings from Netflix, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and Intel on deck, markets are bracing for volatility. Will corporate results offset geopolitical and macro risks — or amplify market swings even further?
