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:

  • UK Unemployment Rate
    UK jobs data due 10th June (9:00 AM GMT+3) may show further weakness after unemployment hit 4.5% and wage growth slowed. Will the trend continue — and weigh further on the pound?

  • US Inflation Rate
    All eyes turn to US inflation data on 11th June at 3:30 PM GMT+3. April’s headline rate eased to 2.3%, with core inflation steady at 2.8%. Tariff impacts aren’t clear yet — but could emerge in the coming months. Will this report confirm cooling — or hint at rising price pressure?

  • UK GDP Growth Rate
    UK GDP data drops on 12th June at 9:00 AM GMT+3. After a strong Q1 showing, concerns remain about inflation, tariffs, and fading momentum. Will the latest figures support the pound — or confirm a slowdown?

  • US Producer Price Index
    US producer price data is due on 12th June at 3:30 PM GMT+3. April’s sharp drop defied expectations, despite looming tariffs. Will this release offer clarity — or trigger more market volatility?

  • Corporate Earnings Statements
    Corporate earnings will be key for risk sentiment. Strong results could lift markets, while weak ones may spark corrections.
