The Canada Statistics will publish the Core Retail Sales m/m numbers on Tuesday. Moreover, on Wednesday, investors will get the data about the inflation rate in Canada. USDCAD is trading right under the strongest resistance level of 1.3000. Higher than expected results might strengthen the Canadian dollar versus the USD and send the pair down to 1.2730 support.
Also, on Wednesday, the Office of National Statistics will publish the Great Britain inflation rate. GBPUSD bounced from the historic support of 1.2000. A higher-than-expected inflation rate might push the pair towards 1.3000 resistance.
On Thursday, investors will get the German Flash Manufacturing PMI data. EURUSD has also found a support level of 1.0350. The pair is heading towards the 1.0770 resistance level, and higher-than-expected results might help the price to reach it.

The US stock indices had a rough close of the previous week due to the key rate increase in the United States. Both indices have lost their critical support. US100 and US500 might keep going down to the next support level of 3500 and 10 800, respectively.

XBRUSD has declined to $110.50 support by the end of the previous week. Traders might consider buying XBRUSD while the price is staying above this level. On the other hand, if the price declines below, it might plunge to $106.50 and $102.00.
XAUUSD plunged under the 200-day moving average last Friday. If buyers couldn’t return the price above this resistance, it will fall to $1800. Otherwise, we might see a pump above $1900.
