The end of the longest US shutdown<\/strong> seems increasingly likely, but it\u2019s not confirmed yet. Market focus is shifting back to the data.

\nThursday\u2019s GDP release offers a crucial update on the health of the UK economy. Monthly growth is expected to slow to 0.0% from a previous 0.1%, signalling a potential loss of momentum. A stronger print could bolster BoE hawks and support the pound, while a contraction may raise recession concerns and weigh on GBP crosses.<\/p>\n
\nThe upcoming inflation report is this week\u2019s standout macro release. Headline CPI is forecast to slow slightly from 0.3% to 0.2%, signalling a possible cooling in inflation pressures. A softer\u2011than\u2011expected print may revive market expectations of Fed easing, pressuring the dollar and supporting risk assets. Conversely, a hotter reading would reinforce the \u201chigher for longer\u201d rate stance and likely benefit the greenback.<\/p>\n
\nThe weekly labour market update will serve as a near\u2011term gauge of resilience. A rise in claims could signal cooling in the labour market, enhancing speculation of a dovish Fed shift and boosting risk sentiment. Conversely, persistently low claims would reinforce the Fed\u2019s current hawkish stance, supporting the dollar and pressuring risk assets.<\/p>\n
