The next 24 hours carry one high-impact entry: Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey speaks at 12:15 UTC, the only top-tier item on the calendar. Two medium-impact US events bracket the day β an FOMC appearance in the morning and weekly jobless claims just after Bailey.
Waller, 08:30 UTC (USD)
FOMC member Christopher Waller opens the docket at 08:30 UTC. No forecast or prior figure is attached, as this is a speech rather than a data release, and no set topic is listed. Remarks from a sitting Fed governor sit on the dollar side of the ledger.
Bailey, 12:15 UTC (GBP)
The session’s highest-impact event is Governor Bailey at 12:15 UTC. As with Waller, there is no forecast or previous print; the relevance for sterling comes from the speaker rather than a number. It is the single high-impact item across the 24-hour window.
US jobless claims, 12:30 UTC (USD)
Fifteen minutes after Bailey, the United States releases weekly initial unemployment claims. The forecast is 200K against a previous 197K β a projected rise of 3,000 first-time filings. The series measures the number of people filing for unemployment benefits for the first time, a weekly read on the labour market and a recurring dollar input.
That sequence clusters two of the three events into a 15-minute band at 12:15β12:30 UTC, split one GBP and one USD, with Waller’s USD appearance standing alone in the morning. Bailey and the claims print are the back-to-back focus of the second half of the session.
