Today's macroeconomic calendar is moderately busy, with several releases that could increase volatility across FX and bond markets. The main focus in Europe will be on eurozone retail sales and the UK Construction PMI. In the afternoon, attention will shift to the US and Canada, with the weekly ADP employment change, trade balance data, the EIA STEO report and the US 3-year Treasury auction all in focus. A series of speeches from Fed, ECB and BoE officials could also provide fresh market signals, particularly with bond yields still elevated and uncertainty surrounding the future path of interest rates.
