This week’s economic outlook focuses on key global trends. In Asia, China may introduce stimulus measures following its National People’s Congress, as policymakers shift to a “moderately loose” monetary stance. Meanwhile, India and Australia monitor inflation and confidence data for signs of economic shifts. In Europe, Germany’s struggling manufacturing sector remains a concern, though potential defense spending increases could offer future support. The Eurozone continues battling weak industrial output. In the U.S., recession risks are rising as job growth slows, inflation remains high, and consumer sentiment declines. The Fed is expected to hold interest rates steady as uncertainty looms.
News drives markets and it is the surprise in news or economic data that triggers the larger reaction. Most traders look forward to key news events as it more often than not is followed by some volatility.

Tip: Remember, it is the reaction to news more than the news itself that gives us clue to a currency’s (or any instrument’s) strength or weakness.
so continuation of same game plays by President Trump BUT different reaction by player collective would mean , in essence, instead of percieving uncertainty, embracing his actions as positive ?
