Good Thursday, world! We’ve got plenty of news and important releases since yesterday. Did they have a major impact on the market, though? Let’s see.
During yesterday’s American trading session, the US House of Representatives voted to impeach US President Donald Trump. Trump was charged with abusing of power. That decision made him the third US president in US history to be impeached. However, the support of impeachment in the House does not immediately remove the 45th US president from the office, as the final word still belongs to the Senate. As the Republicans (Donald Trump’s party) have a majority in that chamber, the vote supported by the Democrats will barely change anything.
The currency market was not affected by the impeachment process with no effect on the USD.
During the Asian trading session, the Australian dollar was boosted by the release of Australia’s job data. The employment change showed a solid growth by 39.9K (vs. 14.5K expected), and the unemployment rate declined from 5.3% to 5.2%. AUD/USD has risen by around 35 pips since the start of the day.
The Bank of Japan kept its interest rate unchanged at -0.1% during today’s meeting. The BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda expressed the positive views on the economy but noted that the global uncertainties remain. The bank will continue monetary policy easing until the economic conditions get better.
The main focus will be on the Bank of England monetary policy summary at 14:00 MT. It would be interesting to hear the comments by Governor Mark Carney after the election is over. Follow the news and stay updated.
The Fed is ready to start tapering in November. Since the markets were expecting this and it wasn’t a surprise, the USD slumped allowing risk-on currencies and gold to rally up.
US Retail Sales will be out on October 15 at 15:30 MetaTrader time (GMT+3).
Australia will release employment change and an unemployment rate on Thursday, October 14, at 03:30 MT (GMT+3).
The United States will release the weekly Unemployment Claims on October 21, at 15:30 MT time (GMT+3).

The bullish movement in the stock market is gaining speed, and Bitcoin ETFs are closer than they might seem. What do we need to know for the next trading week?
