China’s slew of economic data was in traders’ focus during the market week. Investors also awaited developments from the EU summit which took place on Thursday and Friday. U.S. data provided the usual mixed bag but were generally positive, especially on housing.
This week, traders will focus on the FOMC meeting announcement. Also on tap are the Bank of Canada and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand policy decisions. The data highlight of the week will be the sundry flash PMI indexes from Europe and the U.S. The UK will provide its first estimate of third quarter gross domestic product.
