Key events ahead: Euro Sentix Investor Confidence, Fed Williams speech – Danske
FXStreet (Barcelona) - Senior Analyst at Danske Bank, Pernille Bomholdt Nielsen, previews the key events and data releases for the day.
Key Quotes
“The euro Sentix Investor Confidence indicator will give a first impression of sentiment in May. We expect a small decline reflecting last week’s corrections in stocks, bonds and the USD.”
“In the US San Francisco Fed President Williams will speak. He is considered neutral but last week he made some comments with a hawkish twist as he said a June rate hike is on the table. We continue to expect the first Fed funds rate hike in September, whereas the market currently prices a lift-off in December.”
“During the rest of the week focus will be on the US labour market report for April, which will be interesting as indicators have pointed in different directions. The UK general election to be held on Thursday will also get attention as polls have been relatively stable suggesting the election is unusually open.”
