Wall Street's spotlight will fall on the consumer next week. Investors will look to earnings from major retailers and data on consumer spending with the hope that the numbers will show that Americans have indulged in some retail therapy in recent weeks.

Weekly Focus: Europe moving from recession to slow growthDanske Bank (pdf)
With a bit of luck, new data should confirm that the recession in the eurozone ended in Q2 13. US retail sales, housing market data and consumer confidence should point to improvement. We expect strong GDP growth data from Japan but slowing credit growth in China

Week Ahead 12 – 16 AugNordea (pdf)
US: retail sales, CPI and consumer sentiment. The USD has weakened over the past trading session, and the focus on the tapering debate will make these numbers closely watched. Euro zone: Growth numbers from the Euro zone will be out next week. Data has recently been on the strong side, with surprise index about to reach its turning point. Could next week´s numbers be a trigger for somewhat lower rates?  UK: Minutes, CPI and unemployment. It´s hard to imagine a more exciting week in terms of UK events for the currency and rates.  Japan can look forward to a strong Q2 growth report next week. This, in turn, can affect the market´s expectation of the consumption tax hike, however, the implication for the currency is not clear-cut.

Weighing the Week Ahead – A Dash of Insight

FX Outlook Marc to Market


The main tension in the foreign exchange market is between positions adjusting pressures, which are US dollar negative, and widely held ideas that the trajectory of growth and interest rate differentials favor the US, which is dollar positive.
