US Inflation (Tuesday): Higher-than-expected CPI data (0.4% MoM) confirms persistent price pressures, forcing the market to price in a more aggressive policy path by the Fed, which underpins the US dollar.
Second Half of the Week Expectations: The release of UK and Eurozone GDP figures alongside US producer price indices will set the tone for major currency pairs in the second half of the week.
Top Tip of the Week: Publishing inflation data and price indices historically triggers sharp volatility spikes. Avoid entering trades directly during news releases — wait for clear chart levels to form and stick strictly to your risk management!
