USD data and energy inventories in focus
This is not an empty calendar, but the most relevant items for major FX and gold are the USD-linked releases at 12:00 and 15:30. The BRL and PLN events are on the calendar, but they are not direct drivers for EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY or XAU/USD. Let price confirm whether the data is being traded before acting.

- 12:00USDMedium
MBA 30-Year Mortgage Rate
It gives a rate-sensitive read on US housing conditions, but usually needs confirmation from price to matter for USD pairs.
- 13:00BRLMedium
Retail Sales MoM
This mainly affects Brazilian markets and is usually low priority for major FX traders.
- 14:00PLNMedium
Interest Rate Decision
This matters for PLN assets, but it is not a primary driver for EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY or XAU/USD.
- 15:30USDMedium
EIA Gasoline Stocks Change
Fuel inventory data can move energy prices and may create indirect volatility around USD and gold.
- 15:30USDMedium
EIA Crude Oil Stocks Change
Crude inventory data can affect oil-linked sentiment and inflation expectations, so watch for confirmation before reacting.
Watch out for
- Check whether the 12:00 USD mortgage rate print creates any real USD reaction before treating it as tradable.
- At 15:30, watch energy inventory volatility and whether it spills into USD or XAU/USD.
- Use H1 and H4 closes to confirm any break or rejection around known levels.
- Keep BRL and PLN headlines separate from major FX decisions unless your traded pair reacts clearly.
Can safely ignore
- BRL Retail Sales unless you trade Brazilian markets.
- PLN Interest Rate Decision unless you trade PLN or Polish assets.
- Do not use non-USD events here as a standalone reason to trade EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY or XAU/USD.
