This week will have a relatively full news agenda, including some items of key U.S. data. The agenda will be dominated by monthly policy commentaries and bid rates from the Bank of England and the Swiss National Bank. Therefore, volatility this week should be at a similar level to last week, helped by the fact that the typically thin summer period is over. It may be that the degree of damage which may be caused to the U.S.A. by Hurricane Irma this week could have a major impact upon the Forex market via the U.S. Dollar.
The market will probably be most active on Thursday, and Friday to a lesser extent.
