Retail sales data is also set for release this week, with most economists expecting a -0.2-headline number.

Reserve Bank of New Zealand Rate Decision<\/strong><\/p>

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand could be the surprise of the week, with some economists expecting that the central bank could be one of the first major central bank to take hawkish policy action, and actually raise rates.<\/p>

Last month the RBNZ held its official cash rate at a record low of 0.25% but decided to halt additional asset purchases under the Large-Scale Asset Purchase program by July 23rd.<\/p>

Policymakers said some monetary stimulus remains necessary, but its level could be reduced to minimize the risk of not meeting consumer price and employment objectives over the medium-term.<\/p>

Watch out for a big reaction in the New Zealand dollar if the central bank act accordingly and raise rates, because as things stand a rate hike does not look to be priced into the NZDUSD<\/a> pair.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Canadian Retail Sales + CPI Inflation<\/strong><\/p>

The Canadian dollar<\/a> could strengthen this week if we see sold retail sales and CPI numbers from the Canadian economy, at a time when oil <\/a>prices and COVID-19 are driving the Loonie.<\/p>

CPI is likely to be the big mover in the data release, although retail sales is equally important. The annual inflation rate in Canada eased to 3.1% in June of 2021 from a 10 year high of 3.6% hit in May and compared to market forecasts of 3.2%.<\/p>

A red-hot inflation number would likely see the Bank of Canada thinking hard about raising rates and being another central bank that be about to act before the Federal Reserve.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
