Monday 11th February, GBP UK quarterly GDP

The RBNZ Interest Rate Decision, published by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, represents the Central Bank Governor’s decision concerning where to set the nations interest rate after consulting senior bank staff and external advisers. The RBNZ has kept monetary policy unchanged since November 2016 and is widely tipped to maintain the nations interest rate at 1.75 percent this week.

• If the NZDUSD pair moves below the 0.6680 level, sellers are likely to test towards the 0.6640 and 0.6580 support
Wednesday 13th February, USD US Consumer Price Index
The US Consumer Price Index is released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and evaluates the fluctuations in the cost of living by measuring the changes in prices consumers pay for a set of items. In terms of an inflation measurement, the Consumer Price Index is the most obvious way to quantify fluctuations in purchasing power, although the Federal Reserve relies on the PCE Deflator as its primary means to determine whether inflation is occurring.

Thursday 14th February, EUR Eurozone Consumer Price Index
The eurozone Consumer Price Index, released by Eurostat measures the changes in the price of goods and services from the perspective of the consumer. A higher value of the CPI represents significant inflationary pressures in the eurozone economies and also puts pressure on the European Central Bank to raise interest rates. CPI data may not affect the markets significantly because CPI is the European Central Bank's mandated inflation target.
• The EURUSD pair is only bullish while trading above the 1.1410 level, key resistance is then found at the 1.1460 and 1.1550 levels.
• If the EURUSD pair moves below the 1.1300 level, sellers will likely test towards the 1.1215 and 1.1180 support levels.

CPI is also one of the most frequently used statistics for identifying periods of inflation or deflation.
