The first two weeks of March will be massive for trading forex. We highlight the four factors that will drive major markets.

The EUR continues to perform well against other major currencies. With the upcoming ECB monetary policy meeting, we expect this to continue.

In this article, we will delve into the significance of each data point and discuss how they could impact the foreign exchange (FX) markets.

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is in the spotlight as it gears up for its upcoming meeting on Tuesday. Analysts are divided on whether there will be a 25 basis points (bps) rate hike, or if the RBA will maintain the current rate of 4.10%.

The oil demand outlook has improved whilst supply is constrained. However, the price remains restricted and much is still needed to signal sustainable recovery.
