Macro Analysis

🇺🇸 United States – Inflation & Jobs in Focus 
With Powell’s speech and CPI early in the week, traders will gauge whether inflation remains resilient. 
Strong CPI or PPI could delay rate-cut expectations. Later, Nonfarm Payrolls will provide a labor check — any softness could spark dovish bets.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom – Growth Stalls 
Flat GDP growth highlights ongoing economic weakness, keeping GBP under pressure unless the BoE turns surprisingly hawkish.

🇪🇺 Eurozone – Inflation Watch 
A mild rebound in CPI could support the euro if the ECB maintains its cautious stance on rate cuts.

Speculative Outlook for USD Traders

🟢 Bullish USD Scenario

- CPI and PPI print above expectations.
- Powell signals prolonged tightening bias.

→ Possible Trades: Long USD/JPY, Short EUR/USD, Short Gold.

🔴 Bearish USD Scenario

- Inflation data cools more than forecast.

- Powell hints at easing or neutral stance.
- Weak jobs report increases rate-cut expectations.
→ Possible Trades: Long EUR/USD, Long Gold, Long GBP/USD.

🟡 Neutral / Mixed Setup

- CPI meets forecast but labor data disappoints — potential sideways USD moves with short-term volatility spikes.
