Upcoming events this week (11 Jan 2009)

There are gonna be some exciting events this coming week and the FX market will definitely have some large movements. For starters, Ben Bernanke will be speaking on 13 Jan. The speech will be potentially very market moving given that risk sentiment is the core of almost all trading decision. On 14 Jan, there will be the release of US advanced retail sales though I doubt this particular event will mean much. On 15 Jan, the European Central Bank will make a rate decision and this is the event that will be worth putting my money onto. Before I decide, we shall see what Ben will say on Tuesday.
