Details of the economic calendar on July 10
Monday was marked by the absence of significant economic indicators in the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
In light of this, investors and traders turned their attention to the news flow. Yesterday, several representatives of the Federal Reserve System made speeches, unanimously emphasizing that an interest rate hike would be the optimal solution for the economy. However, the market reaction to these statements was the opposite, indicating that speculators do not believe in a subsequent significant tightening of monetary policy.
