Economic Calendar: Focus on U.S. Durable Goods and Consumer Confidence

Markets await key U.S. durable goods orders data and consumer confidence readings amid heightened market volatility following China's DeepSeek AI developments. The tech sector remains under pressure after Nvidia's record $600 billion market value loss, while traders also digest President Trump's plans for aggressive trade tariffs targeting foreign semiconductors. Asian trading volumes remain thin with major markets closed for Lunar New Year, as attention turns to the Federal Reserve's meeting conclusion tomorrow and expected ECB rate decision later this week.
