The Week Ahead On The Markets
MongiIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
The first full week of April begins in a quieter fashion, and even the Fed minutes this week might not provide much news, given the amount of commentary from committee members since then. While the RBA is set to leave rates unchanged, any discussion around potential policy will be of note for AUD pairs. It is a sparse earnings calendar this week, but things will become busier from next week onwards as the next US earnings season gets underway. FTSE traders should be aware of the sizeable slab of 100 and 250 members going ex-dividend this week.

The Week Ahead On The Markets
MongiIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
This week sees the release of the monthly non-farm payroll report in the US, along with the private sector ADP report. This provides at least some relief from the relentless focus on inflation. Chinese PMIs are also ones to watch this week, along with the US ISM manufacturing report. Earnings are quiet, but Bellway in the UK provides a focus for housebuilders, while H&M’s first quarter update will put the spotlight on retailers in Europe.
