Economic Calendar: German GDP, U.S. House Prices And Consumer Confidence in Focus

Today’s economic releases will be closely watched as markets navigate escalating US-China tech tensions and President Trump’s tariff threats. With Asian stocks retreating and oil prices rising on Iran sanctions, investors will focus on German GDP data expected to confirm contraction and US consumer confidence figures anticipated to show further weakening. Central bank speakers from the ECB, Bundesbank, BoE, and Fed will be scrutinized for signals on monetary policy direction as Treasury yields touch fresh lows and gold approaches $3,000 amid growing expectations for Fed rate cuts.
