Nikkei erreicht neue Höchststände, aber JPY schwach!

THE WEEK AHEAD: WEEK COMMENCING 12 FEBRUARY 2024

It looks set to be another interesting week ahead for financial markets with a good mix of central bank speakers and data coming into play as the week progresses. Asian trading sessions will experience a drop in liquidity with several markets enjoying the Lunar New Year holidays – China is off all week – but it will be full steam ahead for the other time zones, especially on Tuesday when we have the latest CPI update out of the US. It will be a busy week for Sterling traders with the BOE Governor speaking on a couple of occasions in addition to no less than 4 key UK data releases.
