The economic calendar is thin over the next 24 hours, with a single scheduled event on the docket. All eyes fall on remarks from the US Treasury Secretary, the only medium-impact item on the slate.
United States
Treasury Secretary Bessent Speaks β 18:00 UTC (medium impact, USD)
The headline event for the session is a scheduled appearance by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at 18:00 UTC.
There is no forecast or previous reading attached β this is a speech, not a data release, so there is no consensus number to measure the outcome against.
Remarks from the Treasury Secretary can touch on fiscal policy, debt issuance, the outlook for the US economy, and the administration’s stance on the dollar. Any comments along those lines are the type that draw attention across USD pairs.
With no hard data print scheduled alongside it, this appearance stands as the primary catalyst on the calendar for dollar-sensitive instruments.
The quiet backdrop
Outside of the Bessent appearance, the next 24 hours carry no other medium- or high-impact scheduled releases. That leaves the calendar unusually light.
In sessions like this, the absence of competing data tends to concentrate focus on the one event that is on the schedule. The 18:00 UTC slot is the moment worth marking.
What to watch
The 18:00 UTC Bessent appearance is the sole scheduled event on the horizon and the clearest reference point for the USD over the coming session.
