Next week is definitely going to be full of high risk event as we're going to have interest rates announcements from ECB, BOE and RBA which should add some volatility.

The major event for sure would be the ECB meeting but not because they will engage in some aggressive monetary policy to tame down the deflationary pressures, because it will be quite contrary they will engage only in some verbal rhetoric without taking any specific actions. But we have already seen periphery EU yields going lower comparing with the levels we saw 2 years ago. This reason in itself will stop ECB from doing some aggressive easing and also because the euro structural issues of not having a single euro denominated bond market thus making less probably that any massive EURO devaluation will take place and this should keep the exchange rate in balance in the coming months as I think ECB verbal intervention and introducing negative rate deposits will be enough to keep euro in a ranging zone until 2015. The conclusion is that for the time being the risk remains to the upside for EUR/USD.
