Massive Potential Volatility Ahead

Are we in the calm before the storm?

The last couple of weeks have seen stock markets and currency exchange rates settle down as the Iran conflict has quietened down.

However, from an exchange rate perspective, that could all change in the next day or two.

There's data rolling in from every direction.

Kicking things off is the FEDs interest rate decision this evening. It looks nailed on for the rate to be held at 3.75%.

That's followed by preliminary inflation numbers out of the Eurozone tomorrow morning before the big one at midday.

The Bank of England will announce it's interest rate decision.

Whilst 3.75% looks almost guaranteed, it will be the vote count and the subsequent press conference with the BoE Governor, Andrew Bailey, that will be scrutinised.

All told it could be a lively second half of the week.
