The next 24 hours lean heavily on the US dollar, with a cluster of high-impact events landing at 14:00 UTC and the Jackson Hole Symposium capping the session. Canada opens the run with a growth print.

Canada β€” GDP

First up at 12:30 UTC is Canadian GDP m/m, the broadest monthly gauge of economic output. Forecast is 0.2%, a step down from the previous 0.3%. It is the day’s key CAD event and the only scheduled release before the US block.

United States β€” a crowded 14:00

Three US items hit simultaneously at 14:00 UTC.

Fed Chairman Warsh Speaks is the marquee event. Remarks from the Fed chair are watched for any steer on the policy path; there is no forecast or previous reading to anchor against, so the focus is on tone.

Alongside it comes the Prelim Benchmark Payrolls Revision, a high-impact recalibration of prior nonfarm payrolls data. The previous benchmark revision was a hefty -911K, a reminder of how large these adjustments can run. No forecast is published for this release.

The Revised UoM Consumer Sentiment reading is the medium-impact companion, expected to hold at 51.0, unchanged from the prior 51.0. The accompanying Revised UoM Inflation Expectations carries a previous figure of 4.3% with no forecast attached β€” a data point on how households view the price outlook.

All four USD events measure different corners of the same story: the labour market, sentiment, inflation expectations, and the Fed’s own read on it.

All currencies β€” Jackson Hole

At 16:15 UTC the Jackson Hole Symposium takes over, flagged as high-impact across all currencies. The annual central-banking gathering draws policymakers from around the world, and headlines from it can move a broad set of instruments rather than a single pair.

The shape of the day

Canadian GDP sets the early tone, but the weight of the calendar sits with the US dollar from 14:00 onward. The simultaneous arrival of Warsh, the payrolls revision and the UoM figures means the greenback faces its densest window of the session, with Jackson Hole extending the theme into the afternoon. The prior -911K benchmark revision and Warsh’s remarks are the two USD items without a forecast to lean on β€” the readings that reveal themselves only on release.
