What are the main events for today? | Forexlive

Today, the calendar is empty on the data front as we will just hear from some central bank members. It would have been a boring day if it wasn’t for the US-China trade talks statement.

At 07:00 GMT/03:00 ET, we have the US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent briefing on the US-China trade talks held in Switzerland over the weekend. This is going to be the main event of the day.

The sentiment is positive going into the event as both sides delivered upbeat remarks. Nonetheless, we might have reached the peak in the “de-escalation trade”, so we will likely need very good news to keep the party going.
