Market focus

On Friday, February 8, 2019, the economic calendar will be less eventful. At the start of the day, market attention will be focused on data for Japan: household spending and the current account. It may cause a marked increase in activity in the Asian session. Towards the middle of the day, attention will shift to employment data in Switzerland and the trade balance in Germany, which will have a restrained influence on the market. In the American session, it is worth highlighting employment data in Canada, which can have a significant impact on the Canadian dollar. The end of the week will be quite restrained and remain in the power of general sentiment.
