Economic calendar: Weekly API data and central bankers

07:42 23 October 2018

The economic calendar on Tuesday looks relatively empty as just one noteworthy reading is scheduled. Namely, investors will be offered a crude oil inventories data provided by the American Petroleum Institute as usual on Tuesday. On the other hand, some central bankers are scheduled to speak today, including a speech of the Governor of the Bank of England at a conference in Toronto. Apart from that, some major American companies will publish earnings through the day.

9:40 pm BST - US, API Crude Oil Inventories: Oil-related topics became more eagerly watched as Brent broke $80 and then $85 per barrel. However, the commodity has seen noticeable drops since then. Brent (OIL on xStation5) is moving slightly below $80 this morning, struggling to choose a clearer direction. What’s more, Saudi Arabia has vowed to boost oil production in order to cover a shortfall in Iranian crude. Will API data influence Brent prices?

Central bank speakers scheduled for today:

  • 11:30 am BST - BoE’s Haldane
  • 2:30 pm BST - Fed’s Kashkari
  • 4:30 pm BST - BoE’s Carney
  • 6:30 pm BST - Fed’s Bostic
  • 7:15 pm BST - Fed’s Kaplan
