Investor attention today will be primarily focused on speeches by members of the U.S. Federal Reserve (FOMC). Apart from the speeches, no major macroeconomic data is scheduled to be released from the U.S. However, we will learn Canadian labor market data for April.
Following the Fed’s decision on Wednesday, this will be the first series of such extensive interviews from FOMC members. As many as 9 central bankers are scheduled to speak. Particularly interesting may be comments on U.S. trade policy and its impact on Fed decisions, as well as the recent trade agreement with the UK.
