Last week, USD continued to consolidate due to lack of US news. Next week is full in important data. Focus will shift on U.S FOMC meeting . At this point I’d expect that US dollar will resume its strength on the FOMC meeting next Wednesday. From Euro-Zone, focus will be on German ZEW Economic Sentiment on Tuesday and consumer price index data on Wednesday. From UK: We have lots of critical data. The U.K. will release data on consumer price inflation on Tuesday, Claimant Count Change on Wednesday and finally Retail Sales on Thursday, I think UK data could push the UK to the upside, Anyway, let’s highlight the most critical events which may affect currency market next week :
