Fedspeak and housing starts highlight the economic calendar | Forexlive

Happy Friday.

September housing starts are due at the bottom of the hour and they are the only notable economic indicator in today’s North American session. The consensus is a dip to 1.350m from 1.356m but I doubt the report will move the broader market.

In terms of Fedpseak, we hear from Bostic (9:30 am ET), Kashkari (10 am ET), Waller (1210 pm ET) and Bostic again (1230 pm ET).

We’ve hear from all of them since the FOMC decision so I suspect today’s session will be driven by the whims of the market and an increasing focus on the US election.
