In the past week, we have seen growth in US and European indices, with Nasdaq reaching new record highs thanks to global economic growth in the US and China. In the currency market, the Canadian dollar and the British pound were among the strongest, followed by the Australian dollar. The rise in oil prices, along with better economic data from Canada, pushed the Canadian currency higher. Among the worst currencies were the kiwi, the frank and the yen. The euro and the dollar remained little changed, probably due to mixed economic data from the United States.
Next week, the most important events we are going to monitor are the Australian, Canadian and European interest rate decisions, as well as the GDP that will probably move the currency market. Monday is an official holiday in the United States and Canada due to the Labor day. Indexes growth might be continued next week, as markets are calm and tensions with North Korea are gradually declining.
