This week will have a considerably heavier news agenda than last week. The agenda will be dominated by quite a lot of U.S. high-impact economic data centered on the end of this week, with the Non-Farm Payrolls data due Friday being key. Therefore, volatility this week should be considerably higher than it was last week, helped by the fact that the traditional summer holiday season of low volatility ends on Thursday. The market will probably be most active on Friday, and Wednesday to a lesser extent. Monday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom.
U.S. Dollar
It will be an important and busy week for the greenback, starting on Tuesday with a release of CB Consumer Confidence data.

Finally, Friday will bring the Non-Farm Employment Change, the Unemployment Rate, Average Hourly Earnings, and ISM Manufacturing PMI.

It will be a typical week for the Yuan, with Caixin Manufacturing PMI numbers due on Friday.

It will be a very light week for the British Pound, with nothing due except Manufacturing PMI data on Friday. It is a public holiday on Monday.

It will be a very light week for the Loonie, with nothing due except GDP data on Thursday.
