The Forex Calendar for This Week



Even during the holidays the Forex market does not fully shift into vacation mode. Although during these few weeks of the year the volatility is famously pretty low, there are still some events that cause excitement among people who still trade between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Here is the Forex calendar for this week:

-Monday is a holiday and the market is closed.

-On Tuesday we can expect the release of the US CB Consumer Confidence. 

-On Wednesday there are no high impact news events.

-On Thursday the US Department of Labour will release the data about Unemployment Claims. Also, we can expect data about the US Crude Oil Inventories , released by the Energy Information Administration.

If you’re planning on trading between the holidays I recommend both caution and opening short-term positions in the light of the low volatility on the market.
