It’s a quiet start to the new week so far and understandably so. In Asia, Japanese markets were closed and we are also due a partial market holiday in the US later as well as a full holiday in Canada. That pretty much makes it a long weekend of sorts in markets. So far today, major currencies are not doing too much with the dollar keeping steadier mostly.
In that lieu, let’s take a look at what is on the agenda in the week ahead. That will at least provide some idea of the key risk events to watch out for.
