We have yet another boring day ahead in terms of data releases. The calendar is even emptier than yesterday with just the Eurozone consumer confidence report on the agenda. Therefore, markets will continue to move on whatever narrative they've been following in the past couple of days. The main news of the day was Japan striking a deal with the US but that's been clouded by Japan PM Ishiba resignation expectations.In the bigger picture, I think this is opening the door for earlier than expected rate hikes from the BoJ as fiscal policy will likely be looser with the ruling bloc offering some concessions and the trade deal giving the central bank some more clarity on tariffs. investingLive.com (formerly ForexLive.com) is your new companion for the latest financial market news and analysis This article was written by Giuseppe Dellamotta at investinglive.com.
