A truly global 24 hours - MI060923

With little news scheduled for the UK today eyes will turn to the rest of the world. And it's a truly global 24 hours coming up.

We can start with European retails sales numbers with a predicted annual contraction of -1.2%. GBP/EUR the first pairing to be watched.

Then it's the US's turn with the Institute of Supply Managements services data, so GBP/USD next out of the traps.

At the same time the Bank of Canada releases it's interest rate decision where analysts think the rate will remain at 5%, so GBP/CAD will be under scrutiny.

Let's then turn to Australian imports, exports and trade balance. GBP/AUD for the short form.

If this isn't exhausting enough it's the turn of Chinese imports, exports and trade balance, so GBP/CNH.

And let's round everything off with the Halifax releasing its house price figures in the UK at breakfast tomorrow.

Expect a protracted economic calendar below.
