- The monetary policy statement from Australia on Tuesday morning will provide the good opportunity. The expectation is the cash rate will remain at 1.5%. The market will be watching the tone of the statement.
- AUD GDP follows on Wednesday morning. A 3% growth rate in the 3rd quarter is expected. This is a very optimistic expectation and is matched will provide an opportunity to buy the AUD
- Canada rate decision on Wednesday is also interesting. The market expects a hold at 1%. with the recent GDP release for September and employment numbers being bullish, a positive surprise may be possible.

- Friday is NFP day. 200k is the number of jobs expected to be added and the unemployment rate expected at 4.1%. I have a feeling the number will be stronger than 200k as the nation recovers from the effects of a devastating hurricane.
