In terms of volatility risks, this week is relatively light due to a lack of economic data, as well as central bank meetings.
What to watch for over the coming days:
- Central Banks: Bank of England (BoE) will release credit conditions survey on Wednesday. International Monetary Fund (IMF) will hold its annual meeting beginning Friday.
- Economic data: the UK will hold industrial and manufacturing production reports on Wednesday, along with trade balance. U.S. PPI inflation report will be released on Wednesday and CPI inflation on Thursday. Chinese trade balance report will be published on Friday.
- Geopolitics: U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visits China on Monday amid heightened trade and security tensions.
Along with the above fundamentals, unscheduled Brexit commentaries, happenings in the Middle East, Italy, and Korean peninsula are likely to keep influencing the market.
