The central focus in financial markets continues to be on impact and fallout from US Administration policies. Investors have been trying to find confidence in recent sessions but have yet to succeed in getting past all of the stress around the unpredictability of the Trump government.
There have also been comments out from Fed officials about US tariffs boosting inflation—something that only adds to investor stress, as it puts more pressure on the Fed to keep from leaning towards more investor-friendly monetary policy.
We’ve definitely seen the gold market respond to all of this, as the yellow metal extends its run to yet another record high.
Key standouts on Friday’s calendar come from German consumer confidence, UK retail sales, trade, business investment, and GDP, some ECB speak, Eurozone sentiment reads, Canada GDP, US personal income, personal spending, core PCE, Michigan sentiment, and some Fedspeak.
