Today, JustForex’s team of financial analysts has prepared a new review of events in the upcoming week.

These events can significantly affect the Forex market.

Choose and track the ones that are most important to you.

Last week the US dollar weakened against the majors. The dollar index (#DX) closed in the negative zone (-0.71%). Ambiguous economic reports and disagreements in the draft laws on tax reform between the Senate and the US House of Representatives put pressure on the American currency. The financial markets participants expect additional drivers.

In the upcoming trading week, we recommend you to pay attention to the following macroeconomic events and reports.
