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 continued to lose ground relative to the majors. The Fed, as expected, left the monetary policy at the same level. The Central Bank reported weak prospects of the inflation growth, which is currently below the target level of 2%. On Friday, July 28, a mixed statistics on the US GDP was published. These events put considerable pressure on the American currency. At the moment, participants of the financial markets estimate the possibility of increasing the range of the Fed’s key interest rate in December of this year to be rather weak.
