Euros Could Get Lively

It's a strong end to the week.

There's a couple of big interest rate decisions over the next couple of days.

Followers of the Canadian Dollar will note the Bank of Canada is expected to keep their base rate at 2.75% later.

However, it's the Euro that might cause the biggest stir.

The ECB is expected to cut the Eurozone base rate 25 points to 2.15% tomorrow which is back down to relatively low levels.

A real possibility of global volatility in forex markets could be on the cards in the next few days.

Not only are there the interest rate decisions, there's also plenty of other global news due out, so it's worth having a look at the following economic calendar.

Throw into the mix the start of global tariffs today, and it could be a bumpy ride.

Metal tariffs of 50% into the US have come into effect although the UK has been excluded for now.
