This week presents several key events traders should keep a close eye on:
Korean inflation – Monday 6pm (UTC -5)
The last reading for SK CPI came in at +2.4% year‑on‑year in October 2025, above the 2.1% expected by economists. Another surprise uptick might reinforce expectations of a rate pause (or even a re‑tightening), which could boost KRW.
Euro inflation – Tuesday 5am
Inflation data out of the eurozone will shape expectations for the European Central Bank (ECB). If inflation remains sticky or rises, it could bolster ECB hawkishness, strengthening EUR and European bond yields.
Australian GDP Growth – Tuesday 7.30am
Australia’s GDP report will offer a snapshot of the local economic picture. A strong GDP print could support the Australian dollar and lift demand for commodity‑linked assets, given Australia’s status as a major commodity exporter.
US PCE – Friday 10am
The upcoming release of the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE) matters because the Fed views it as its preferred inflation gauge. A hotter‑than‑expected PCE could reaffirm caution on rate cuts and lift USD, bond yields, and potentially weigh on risk assets.
