Week 9 Exness economic calendar report 2025

There’s plenty of potential market shifts this week based on the coming economic calendar events. Take note of the times, dates, and affected assets to avoid rapid and temporary price actions.

Monday, February 24 – Eurozone CPI 

The eurozone consumer price index (CPI) (10:00 GMT) will provide crucial insights into inflation trends, directly impacting expectations for future European Central Bank (ECB) rate decisions. If inflation comes in higher than expected, the ECB may adopt a more hawkish stance, potentially boosting the EUR/USD while weighing on European stock indices like DE30 (Germany 30). A softer reading could support dovish monetary policy, weakening the euro.

Assets to watch: EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, DE30, STOXX50

Tuesday, February 25 – Key Inflation & Growth Reports

• Brazil’s IPCA-15 inflation index (12:00 GMT): As a preview of Brazil’s official inflation rate, this report could influence USDBRL and local equities. If inflation is higher than expected, expectations of tighter monetary policy could support the USDBRL pair.
• Germany’s GDP (07:00 GMT): A key indicator of economic health in Europe’s largest economy. A contraction or weak growth could dampen sentiment on the EURUSD and German equities.
• US consumer confidence index (15:00 GMT): A strong reading suggests increased consumer spending, potentially boosting USD pairs, US stock indices (US500, US30, USTEC), and risk assets. A weak figure could drive demand for safe-haven assets like gold (XAUUSD).

Assets to watch: EURUSD, EURBRL, USDBRL, US500, XAUUSD

Wednesday, February 26 – Thailand’s Interest Rate Decision & US Housing Data

• Thailand interest rate decision (07:05 GMT): The Bank of Thailand will decide on interest rates, affecting USD/THB and other emerging market assets. A surprise hike could strengthen the Thai baht, while a rate cut may weaken it.
• US new home sales (15:00 GMT): This data is critical for the housing market. A strong report suggests economic resilience, boosting the USD and homebuilding stocks.
• EIA crude oil stocks change (15:30 GMT): With oil prices in focus, a larger-than-expected inventory build could pressure USOIL and UKOIL lower, while a decline in stockpiles could push oil prices higher.

Assets to watch: USDTHB, USDJPY, USOIL, UKOIL

Thursday, February 27 – ECB Policy Meeting & US GDP (2nd Estimate)

• ECB monetary policy meeting accounts (12:30 GMT): This release will provide insights into the ECB’s future policy stance. A hawkish tone could support EUR/USD, while dovish signals may weigh on the currency.
• US GDP growth rate (QoQ, 2nd estimate) (13:30 GMT): An upward revision could boost USD strength, stock indices, and risk appetite, while a downward revision may increase volatility and support gold (XAUUSD) as a hedge.

Assets to watch: EURUSD, US500, XAUUSD, US30

Friday, February 28 – German CPI & China’s PMI

• Germany’s CPI & retail sales (07:00 GMT): Inflation and consumer spending trends in Germany will be closely watched. A higher CPI could fuel rate hike speculation, supporting the EUR, while weak retail sales might dampen risk appetite in European equities.
• China’s composite & industrial PMI (01:30 GMT): These numbers will offer insights into China’s economic recovery. Strong PMI data could boost risk sentiment and commodities like copper (XCU/USD) and oil (USOIL), while weak data could trigger risk-off sentiment, impacting Asian stock indices (HK50, JP225).

Assets to watch: EURUSD, XCUUSD, USOIL, HK50, JP225
