Global macro overview for 22/12/2015:
The bunch of important data from the US will be released today at 01:30pm GMT with the most important GDP figures for third quarter. The GDP is expected to decrease slightly to the level of 1.9% from 2.1% in the last quarter (2.0% vs. 2.2% on y/y basis). The GDP price index should remain on the same level of - 1.3%. After the recent rate hike from the US Fed, this will be the second important fundamental event this week as it will justify the recent Fed hike and reveal more data about the US economic conditions. If the GDP gets worse significantly, the further Fed hikes might be rather hard to justify.
The US Dollar Index has failed to break back above the golden channel upper line and now is trading just above the important support at the level of 98.33.
