High-impact week: German production and US GDP

German manufacturing production data as of 4:30 am ET. The euro will be affected this Monday by the production data from Germany, a drop in production is estimated with 65.1 points from 65.9. Euro has been under selling pressure since last August 17. The dollar did not cooperate in the rise of the cross thanks to strengthening in this last week. Forecasts remain at a drop to 1.1620 for next week. Tomorrow’s German data does not promise an increase although it could come with surprises. The projections of the euro could be passed to the buyer above 1.1750.

On Thursday, the high-impact information for the week would be completed with the US GDP data, an increase of 1% in the preliminary US GDP data is estimated. Once again the data could not cooperate with the projections thus favoring the EURUSD cross this Thursday. Finally, the annual symposium of the FED in Jackson Hole is added on Thursday. This event will capture the full attention of the market. This encounter has had an impact in the past. Decisions to accelerate the withdrawal of economic stimulus or not could be the main catalyst on the projection of the dollar this week.
