Weekly FX Update – 24 August 2017 (Video)

It’s been a slow week in financial markets with the Jackson Hole Symposium taking place on Thursday and Friday easily the highlight. With Mario Draghi and Janet Yellen scheduled to appear, what can we expect from this weeks headline?

Next week is shaping up to be much more eventful, with plenty more data on the economic calendar including the all-important US jobs report. By the close of play next week, we could have a much better idea of what we can expect from the Fed in the final months of the year.

Senior Market Analyst Craig Erlam discusses all of these issues and gives his analysis on EURUSD (8:00), GBPUSD (9:07), EURGBP (10:00), AUDUSD (11:33), USDCAD (13:22), GBPCAD (15:04), NZDUSD (15:48), USDJPY (16:40), GBPJPY (17:20) and EURJPY (18:10).
