US stocks are surging following the announcement of an interim peace agreement<\/strong> between the US and Iran, which secures the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This geopolitical breakthrough has sent Brent crude tumbling toward $82 a barrel<\/strong>, while a softer US dollar has sparked a sharp rally in gold.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside a massive boost in equity sentiment from SpaceX’s blockbuster public debut, traders are now entirely focused on how this fading energy shock will influence the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brace for this week’s three key macro events:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49<\/strong><\/strong> EUR CPI \u2013 11:00, Wednesday (CEST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final Eurozone inflation read. This print is crucial for pricing European Central Bank rate expectations and will dictate near-term volatility across all major EUR pairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> US Retail Sales \u2013 14:30, Wednesday (CEST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key gauge of consumer spending is currently forecasted to remain unchanged. A robust figure reinforces underlying economic strength, while a soft print could drag the dollar lower and fuel dovish repricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc49<\/strong><\/strong> US Fed Interest Rate Decision \u2013 20:00, Wednesday (CEST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The undeniable event of the week. With rates expected to hold steady, traders will heavily scrutinise new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s forward guidance to see if plunging oil prices revive hopes for future rate cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
