China
- February industrial production, fixed-asset investment growth & retail sales
WEDNESDAY 15 March:
U.S.:
- Inflation and retail sales data for February
- Oh yeah ... and its Federal Reserve FOMC decision day! :-D. A hike is very widely expected. And don't miss the statement & press conference
THURSDAY 16 March:
Japan:
- BOJ announcement, likely no change (Kuroda presser to follow later)
Switzerland:
- Swiss National Bank decision day (expected to keep its key deposit rate at minus 0.75% ... be wary for a cut given the CHF persistent strength ... at the very least watch for Mr. T Jordan to call the currency "significantly overvalued")
UK
- Bank of England - no change expected
FRIDAY 17 March:
St. Patricks Day ... long Guinness! (ps. that was the green day reference in the title in case you were wondering)
Oh, and the G20 meeting kicks off ... 2-day meeting

ps. there is plenty of other stuff happening this week - the Dutch election on Wednesday for one ... and more!
What have I missed that you're watching?
