The Forex Calendar For This Week




2017 is finally here and with it the events affecting the market begin anew. The first week of the new year is no exception, as there will be several important high-impact events traders should be mindful of:

There are no events on Monday, but the rest of the week more than compensates for that.

On Tuesday we can expect the release of both the US and British manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Indexes.

On Wednesday will be the first release of the FOMC meeting minutes for this year.

On Thursday we can expect the US Unemployment Claims as well as data on the US Crude Oil Inventories.

This Friday being the first one for this month means that we should prepare for one of the main events of this week, namely the US Change in Non-Farm Payrolls which almost always has a significant effect on the market.

Since the holiday season is winding down we can expect an uptick in the market volatility, which is a boon for traders. I wish you a successful trading week.
