  • EVENT: Friday, August 27, 02:30 AM GMT+1 – Australia Retail Sales for July. Retail sales are expected to drop 2.3%, indicating a worsened mood of Australia’s consumers, which is negative for the Aussie.
    EVENT: Friday, August 27, 03:00 PM GMT+1 – Friday: Speech by Fed Chair Jerome Powell at the Jackson Hole symposium, to be held on-line. Market participants will want to hear more on Fed’s plans about its $120 billion per month bond-buying program.

  • Nearly sixty percent of Australia’s population is in some kind of lockdown, while the numbers of Covid-19 infection is in the uptrend and came today close to 1000 cases.
