Why it matters for market watchers

Speeches by senior officials of monetary authorities are often read by market participants as signs of how policymakers see the economy. The excerpt does not include any policy announcements, economic data or guidance. Readers who want details should consult the full text of the remarks on the BIS website.

Notes for EA trading

Official speeches and other scheduled events can sometimes cause short bursts of volatility, and spreads may widen at those times. Anyone running EAs may want to check the event calendar and consider pausing automated systems around major releases. Sound risk management matters whatever the headline.
