Economic news to watch this week 

We will kick off our week on the 6th  with the Reserve Bank Of Australia (RBA) having their consensus on where to set their interest rates followed by the RBA rate statement which is more important because it focuses more on the future. On the 8th UK will have their annual budget release which outlines the government’s budget for the year, including expected spending and income levels, borrowing levels, financial objectives, and planned investments. In another breaking news, it was said that Theresa May (UK Prime Minister) is on Brexit article 50 talks again somewhere in two weeks time. It is that time of the month again, the NFP week. Last month the U.S job numbers rose by 57k from the expected 170K when it reached 227K. Earnings dropped by 0.2% from expected 0.3% to 0.1% resulting in a conflict of results.

I know of a number of traders who lost money due to the fact that they only focus on job numbers and they simply overlook the earnings. If you not sure how to trade NFP read the post HERE.
