Australian rate decision: Tuesday, 3:30. The Reserve Bank of Australia left its interest rate unchanged at 1.50% in the past two and a half year or so. In the previous decision in February, the Bank also left the statement unchanged. However, consequent appearances by Governor Phillip Lowe and the Statement of Monetary Policy showed a shift from a slightly hawkish bias to a neutral one due to worsening global conditions. Will this be reflected in the fresh statement? Every word will be scrutinized.

UK Services PMI: Tuesday, 9:30. Markit’s series of purchasing managers’ indices culminates in the report for the services sector, the largest in the UK. It dropped to only 50.1 points in January, touching the 50-point threshold that separates expansion from contraction. Will it fall lower? A contraction in the sector could reflect growing fears of Brexit.

US ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI: Tuesday, 15:00. The services sector report disappointed in January with a slide to 56.7 points, partly reflecting the government shutdown. It may return to higher levels now. Apart from being a forward-looking gauge for the largest sectors, the figure serves as a hint towards Friday’s Non-Farm Payrolls report.

US New Home Sales: Tuesday, 15:00. The housing sector is struggling, as seen in the recent existing home sales report and in housing starts. Back in November, new home sales provided relief with a leap to 657K annualized. We will finally receive the data for December, which may be weaker.

As we reported last week that the pair managed to break through the neckline of the head and shoulder patter and continued going up too much. The pair now could be developing like a retest scenario to test the broken level (the neckline).
