Industrial Orders | Germany, Eurozone | EUR, DAX, M/SDAX
Industry in Germany is under considerable pressure. Rising energy prices and a shortage of skilled workers have already led to a reduction in production capacity in Germany. If incoming orders indicate a further decline in industrial production in the largest economy of the Eurozone, this could influence the European market as a whole.

Gross Domestic Product - Q4 | Japan | EUR, Indices
GDP in Japan declined during the last two months of the previous year but recorded a slight increase of 0.2% again in January. Analysts expect the Japanese economy to have grown by a modest 0.1% in February. If this forecast is missed to the downside, it could have a negative impact on the yen.

Existing Homes Sales | USA | USD, Indices
Existing home sales are an important indicator of the health of the US real estate market. Forecasts expect the sale of 3.89 million existing homes for February, which would represent a decline of 20,000 compared to January. However, given the surprisingly weak US labor market data last week, market participants are eager to see whether the results match expectations.

Consumer Price Index - CPI | Germany | EUR, Indices
Last month, inflation in Germany recorded a slight increase from 1.8% to 2.1%, placing it relatively close to the ECB’s target range. Analysts expect consumer prices to rise by 1.9% in February, which would keep inflation at a similar level. Inflation data is currently of particular interest to market participants as it may provide indications regarding the ECB’s policy direction. Due to sharply rising energy prices and a weakening economy in the Eurozone, the ECB could come under pressure to act.

Consumer Price Index - CPI | USA | USD, Indices
In the United States, inflation recently approached the Fed’s target level of 2%. For February, consumer prices are expected to rise by 2.5%, which would represent a 0.1% increase compared to January. Many market participants may view this critically because it would reduce pressure on the Federal Reserve to implement further rate cuts. While this would be positive for the US dollar, it could be rather negative for assets denominated in US dollars, such as gold.
15:30 CET (GMT+1)
US Crude Oil Inventories | USA | Oil Prices
Data on current crude oil inventories in the United States will likely be closely monitored by investors and traders amid the Iran crisis. On the one hand, they provide insight into the potential development of oil prices, and on the other hand, they show how sectors dependent on oil are performing. Accordingly, higher crude oil inventories generally have a negative effect on oil prices, while lower inventories usually have a positive effect.

Initial Jobless Claims | USA | USD, Indices
Figures on initial and continuing jobless claims in the United States could receive particular attention following the disappointing NFP data. A rising number of claims could fuel hopes for an earlier rate cut by the Fed, which could support US indices and equities.

Gross Domestic Product - GDP | UK | GBP, Indices
The growth of gross domestic product in the United Kingdom has been at a low level for some time but has increased slightly for two consecutive months. Forecasts for February expect an increase of 0.2%, which would represent a doubling of January’s growth, but could still raise hopes that the Bank of England may take measures to stimulate the economy and cut interest rates again.
13:30 CET (GMT+1)
Core PCE Price Index | USA | USD, Indices
The PCE price index is one of the most important indicators considered by the US Federal Reserve in its monetary policy decisions. Since November, the indicator has shown a steady increase, from 2.7% in October to 3.0% most recently in January. Forecasts for February expect another increase to 3.1%. This result could further reduce hopes of an imminent rate cut by the Fed.
