Economic calendar - Europe's Inflation and US Housing Market in Spotlight

Friday brings a relative calm to the financial markets after an intense trading week. Investors' primary focus is directed toward the US housing market data and the final release of June's consumer inflation (HICP) in the Eurozone. Wall Street indices have recently experienced declines, mainly driven by weakness in the technology sector and lower investment spending forecasts among key semiconductor manufacturers. Additionally, market sentiment continues to be shaped by comments from central bankers, with ECB's Piero Cipollone scheduled to speak today. In the currency markets, volatility remains a key factor for Euro and US Dollar pairs, which will be directly influenced by this afternoon's macroeconomic releases from across the Atlantic.

Key Releases from the Asian Session

  • The Asian session lacked high-volatility macroeconomic releases, leaving market participants to trade primarily on the back of global sentiment flowing from core markets.

  • At 01:00, Fed Board Member Philip Jefferson delivered a public speech, which did not offer any groundbreaking declarations regarding the immediate policy path of the Federal Reserve.
