As I’ve just mentioned, the BOE and ECB are the central banks holding their coffee morning today. The BOE is going to be a non-event and the it’s the minutes on the 20th August that will be the main focus rather than today.
German industrial production is an early figure to watch this morning (7 am gmt+1) following the rather crappy factory orders data we saw yesterday and we get French trade data 45 minutes after that. Has the 650 pip fall in the euro breathed some life into France’s trade numbers? Probably not but we hope so.
