Now that a new foreign exchange trading week is here, it’s time for traders to check out what’s on the cards over the course of the coming days.
Monday afternoon will be uncharacteristically quiet as the markets get back up and running again.

At 3:30pm GMT, Yves Mersch – who sits on the Executive Board of the European Central Bank – will speak as well.
Tuesday there will be some early action from the Antipodean region in the GMT time zone.
The National Australia Bank will release its business conditions expectations for October at 12:30am GMT, and it will bring out its business confidence data for the same period at the same time.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is scheduled on the calendar to publish how it expects inflation in the country to pan out over the remainder of Q4 of 2019 at 2am GMT.
Over in Europe, more central banker speeches are expected fairly early on in the morning.
Benoît Cœuré, who sits on the European Central Bank’s Executive Board, is scheduled to speak at 8am GMT.
Yves Mersch from the same bank will make his second appearance in 24 hours when he speaks at 8:30am GMT.
In Britain, overall ILO unemployment figures for September will be out at 9:30am GMT.

Action will continue overnight into Wednesday thanks to the Reserve Bank of New Zealand’s interest rate decision, which is due out at 1am GMT.

Year on year, this is expected to show no change from its previous position of 0.9%.
