The upcoming week features key economic events across major economies. The U.S. will release Existing Home Sales data on Monday, followed by Tax Day on Wednesday. The Federal Reserve will hold policy speeches on Thursday and Friday, while Australia and the UK will release employment and GDP data, respectively. China's GDP figures will also be published, offering insights into global economic health. These events are critical for assessing monetary policy directions and market sentiment.
The Fed's statements and U.S. housing data will heavily influence USD dynamics and global risk appetite. Higher mortgage rates could dampen home sales, impacting construction and related sectors. Meanwhile, G10 and emerging market data will test cross-asset correlations, particularly in commodities and equities. Traders should monitor central bank rhetoric for clues on future rate decisions.
For MENA investors, USD movements and oil prices will be pivotal. Strong U.S. data may weaken Gulf equities and commodities. Regional traders should watch how global central banks balance inflation control with growth support. Key focus areas include Fed policy clarity and China's economic recovery trajectory.
