Trading volatility: EUR/USD around EU data on Tuesday
While many will be pinning hopes on all the US data in the coming week for some trading volatility, IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor picks Tuesday’s EU data as a potential trading highlight.
There’s preliminary GDP in Germany and the eurozone, German retail sales and jobs and French CPI. On the assumption the data will be the polar opposite of US, there’s a potential short trade on EUR/USD.
